English Conversation Lessons - Speak Like A Native

Open to all Levels: A1 - C2.

If your English is at starting Levels, our classes will be focused on Job Interviews, Proper work conversations, dealing with e-mails in English(how to properly start a business e-mail, what to write or not to write, how to wrap it up), eventual presentations...

From intermediate levels onward, we will focus not only on what has been described above but we shall also dive deeper into the world of:  Executive business terminology, delivering good conference speeches, dealing with upper level management meetings in English and so on. 

Classes shall be tailor-made to YOUR reality, which means I will bring real-life examples of what you deal with on your day-to-day routine. If you work for the Marketing industry, we'll make sure examples are related to marketing situations. If you are a Production Engineer and works at a car factory, we'll make sure classes are target at this particular reality. 

Business Classes are unique and can never be the same for any student - each student has very particular needs when it comes to professional english and I make sure you get that.

Business English

This class is aimed at those who want to enhance their writing skills in English for academic and creative purposes.  

I have a Bacherlor's in International Relations and an MBA in International Business/ Renewable Energies from one of Latin America's top 10 universities.  It goes without saying that my reasonable amount of academic articles published on journals and scientific magazines and having worked for an international creative writing company give me the experience needed to guide you on this learning process.

Writing classes with me are profound and enriching. They constitute of:

* Formal sentence structures and formal English
* Analysis and practice of academic writing pertaining to your field of work
* Analysis of Articles and News 
* Sentence inversions
* Vocabulary appropriateness
* Unusual verb tenses and conditionals 
* Analysis of creative and marketing writing


This is not a conversation class. Of course will talk a lot during class, but our goal is to read pieces of work whose writing format is unusual and therefore attractive to those who are into Creative Writing. 

If you are getting your Masters or PhD, or if you are about to graduate from College and need help with your Essays - this is your place and I am deff qualified to help you. If you are in the marketing and ad field and need help with creative writing, I also can help you.

English Writing Class - Academic and Creative Purposes

This is aimed at Small Talk topics and at boosting up your confidence to speak English. There is no wrong or right here, you will be able to talk as much as you need and  I will gently correct you but without stopping the flow of our conversation. 

This is a great lesson to take as an Istant Lesson.

By the end of the lesson, you will: 

* Feel you are able to hold a conversation with a native speaker
* Express your feelings, emotions and opinions with the vocabulary and grammar you have
*Communicate with confidence.

Grab a drink, coffee or tea and come join me!
