About Richard

I was born in Brazil to an English father and a Brazilian mother, so I grew up speaking both languages at home. I went to English-speaking schools from the beginning of my student career, and eventually concluded my schooldays in England in a boarding school. I studied Social Studies at Liverpool Polytechnic and later Letras in Brazil. I have also done many written translations such as a contract between FIFA and Mendes Hotel Group for the World Cup in Brazil, face-to-face translations in hospitals in London and have been singing in classic rock bands in Brazil for many years.

About the lesson

I focus mainly on the personal needs of each student. I start with the structure of the English language, where there is a lack of knowledge, and lead on to reading, writing, and text interpretation from there. I like to include culture, history, music, history, and eventually stories to make lessons more interesting. One of my students was an American who had to learn to speak in a Cockney accent for a play he was acting in, AND WE HAD LOTS OF FUN TOGETHER.

Excelente professor de Inglês com muitos anos de docência em escolas, aulas particulares desde o nível iniciante até inglês para negócios. Busca muito o caminho de conversação e gramática para facilitar o aprendizado com o aluno, não só um inglês "mecânico". Ideal para brasileiros que estejam procurando rápida adaptação em Londres (ou no Reino Unido em geral).

Excellent English teacher with many years of teaching in schools, private lessons from beginner level to business English. It pursues the path of conversation and grammar a lot to facilitate student learning, not just "mechanical" English. Ideal for Brazilians looking for quick adaptation in London (or the UK in general).

Richard taught me English during my whole high school and I can assure he is a complete professional, understand well the language and it's really easy to understand his lessons. His classes are really interactive, where contains classes with songs, history and many others. He is one of the few teachers that I could really understand the language.
