English Mary Teacher - Personalized Classes

English Mary Teacher

Trajectory


After immersing myself in the English language while studying in San Francisco, I returned to Brazil with a passion for teaching. I founded a school in collaboration with educational institutions and dedicated seven years to child development. My journey continued as a bilingual guidance counselor across several schools, where I provided private lessons to students of varying ages and proficiency levels. This rich experience allowed me to create a naturalistic teaching methodology that caters to diverse learning styles. My approach is supported by proven methodologies and resources from prestigious institutions such as Oxford and Cambridge, ensuring that my students receive the highest quality education and achieve their language goals.

Student Testimonials


Learning to communicate in English as a second language can be approached in many ways, and I've had two distinct experiences. My first attempt did not succeed, despite investing four years in a well-reviewed regular course at the time. In contrast, my current learning experience with Teacher Mary has been much more effective. In less than a year of studying with her, I had the opportunity to communicate with my Irish son-in-law, Tony, just the other day. This reminded me of the difficulties I faced while trying to converse with him and his father during my daughter Ana Paula's wedding in Dublin in 2022. That recent five-minute conversation felt like a tremendous success! Before this, I often struggled with communication during travels, particularly at check-ins and border controls. Not being able to understand what was being said or express myself effectively was always uncomfortable and stressful. What accounts for my progress? I can identify two key factors:
1. *Teacher Mary's Expertise:* She has extensive knowledge and experience, having taught students aged 8 to 80 for many years.
2. *Personalized Lessons:* Mary skillfully tailors each lesson to meet my needs, making our sessions productive and enjoyable, thereby accelerating my learning.
In conclusion, I highly recommend trying this approach!
My name is Rafaela Cardoso, and I have been a student of Professor Marilise for over two years. In the beginning, I knew very little about English, but as the classes progressed, I learned in a natural and relaxed way through texts, exercises, and conversations. The classes are wonderful, and I genuinely want to continue learning with her. I highly recommend her!

I took English classes with Marilise for a year and a half and I can say that she is super interested in developing the student, seeks subjects of interest to him, diversifies the classes so that they are more interesting, uses various tools such as books, videos, music, websites, reports and others to try to hook the student and develop him in the area of interest. In addition to being an excellent teacher, she is a wonderful person who deserves all my respect and appreciation. I highly recommend Marilise for English classes.
I always had a lot of resistance to learning English, almost a block, so I started taking classes with Marilise, and the way the classes were taught, the empathy, the way the classes were Taught, they made the block fall and I was learning English, in a light, fluent way, and in a few months, I was already able to communicate as I always dreamed, in English. The teacher-student partnership, bringing together daily life, and seeking the best firms to make the English language understood and demystify, made it possible to learn lightly. I recommend your classes and the methodology adopted! Congratulations!
My classes with Mary were great! My focus was on conversation. As we took the classes, she observed my deficiencies and brought content that implemented my fluency and knowledge of the language, in a natural, organic way. I feel much safer today. I highly recommend it!
Mary é uma ótima teacher, com profundo conhecimento e domínio do inglês, além de uma didática impecável. Aprendo muito com ela! Minha área de foco é a conversação, onde sempre tive bastante dificuldade, mas nas aulas da Mary me sinto à vontade, pois sua forma de ensinar e conduzir a aula torna o ambiente acolhedor, mesmo nos momentos em que erro. Ela entende que ensinar vai além do conteúdo; reconhece que cada aluno é único e tem seu próprio jeito de aprender. Esse olhar especial da Mary faz toda a diferença.
So, I knew Mari in a different circumstance. I was in volunteer work that I do every week, and at some point, I tried to speak some words in English. And to my surprise, I heard Mari's voice trying to establish a conversation with me. I felt comfortable and excited to continue the conversation. I made mistakes, and she, with her special sensibility, suggested adjustments in my phrase constructions. I enjoyed our interaction, and I asked her about her English knowledge.
She said: - "I'm an English teacher.
I thought: "YEAH !!!".
After some extra interactions, I ask her:
"Have you free time for an experimental class? So, like that began our relationship. I learn in all our interactions. Sometimes, she drives me crazy...
She says: "In English Jeferson" or "Don't translate .... , think in English" =)
When I have difficulties,
she says: "Take it easy" Keep calm. It takes time.
I do recommend it!

Doubts


This answer depends much more on the student's involvement in classes and dedication to studying the English language. In addition, consider your level of knowledge of the language and what objective you are seeking in classes.

It is not necessary to incur any type of extra cost purchasing materials, in my classes I provide all types of materials, including for the exercises that I recommend are done for the student's development.

Private classes are usually taught 100% online and can be taken anywhere in the world! I live in Florianópolis - SC, and if you also live nearby, I can make in-person service more flexible.

Classes are all live, individual and private, and therefore are not recorded.

Classes are charged per hour, and the price is negotiated according to the student's package and availability, with discounts available for more contracted hours.
