English, Spanish & Portuguese Teacher / Theater Coach

In an increasingly globalized world, communicating with more and more people is a must for personal and professional success. Communicating properly and efficiently is a differentiator in today's competitive economy. Unlike what most schools propose of a "perfect" and unique method, personal learning takes place in different ways; everybody has his/her own way of learning. Therefore, it is important to find the method/approach that best fits your knowledge intake skills, your needs and objectives. This means that the BEST class for you is a TAILOR-MADE CLASS according to your personal characteristics, needs and pace. I've been working in the Languages/Theater teaching fields for over 35 years, and thus know the importance of not following ONE best method, but ADAPTING to each student, and using the best tools possible to help them. I work with English, Spanish or Portuguese as a second language, Speaking in Public, Presentations, Papers, Theater Coaching, School Tutoring, as well as Teacher Training. Prefer monthly arrangement, at a 10-class package price.

About Me

I am a 57-year-old global citizen/teacher/actor. I was born in the Panama Canal Zone; I grew up in the city of Boston, USA; I am the son of Colombian citizens; and someone who has been living in Sao Paulo, Brazil for over 30 years. In regard to languages, I have experience teaching wioth the use of the most diverse methods and approaches (Natural - Berlitz / Grammatical - Cultura Inglesa and Meyer's / Functional - Cel-Lep / Communicative - Alumni - Hypnopedic - International Systems, and Total-Communicative-Response / Indictive / deductive). This allows me to adapt to each students personal needs and goals. Therefore, my classes are tailor-made for you in methodology, aproach, materials used, rhythmn and objectives.
Regarding theater, I have been working in it as actor/director/producer since 1984. I also founded and directed and experimental theater workshop called Empiricus for over 10 years, with over 20 plays, all written and presented in English by workshop students. I have acted and directed in at least another 25 plays.
I am very frank, patient, responsible, punctual and disciplined, and although I have a good sense of humor, I am serious and demanding bout my work.
I'd rather teach one-on-one, or in small groups from 3-5 people maximum, in order to provide quality time to each and every one of my students.
