Conversation-Focused English Tutoring for Adults

Build real speaking confidence with a native English speaker. Practical, natural conversation for everyday life, travel and work, without endless grammar drills.

About me

I'm Michael, a native English speaker from the United States and a retired U.S. Air Force Security Forces veteran. I spent over 12 years training and instructing people in demanding, high-stakes environments, where clear communication mattered every day.

Now based in Brazil, I help adult learners speak English with confidence through practical, real-world conversation. I don't hold a formal teaching certificate. What I bring is years of hands-on experience training, coordinating and communicating clearly with people from many cultures.

My classes focus on speaking: natural dialogue, everyday situations and professional communication, at a pace that fits you.

  • Native American English speaker
  • 12+ years of instruction and training experience
  • Adults only, all levels from beginner to advanced
  • Based in the Baixada Santista, Brazil
