Mateus Rodrigues

With over 7 years of experience as an English teacher, I specialize in providing tailored, engaging learning experiences for both teenagers and adults. My classes emphasize practical English skills, whether it's guiding teenagers through a structured school program or preparing adults to confidently use English in business environments and job opportunities.

Through personalized, one-on-one lessons, I help students build fluency and competence. My methods focus on real-world applications, encouraging students to speak and engage in English with autonomy.

Specialties:

* Certified TEFL, TESOL, and TOEIC instructor
* Business English for professionals
* Exam preparation (TOEFL, IELTS, etc.)
* Confidence-building for job interviews and workplace communication
* English for school programs and general proficiency improvement

With a passion for personalized education, I am dedicated to helping students of all levels achieve their English-speaking goals.

When I approach teaching, I aim to create dynamic, goal-oriented lessons that resonate with my students' needs, whether they are teenagers or adults. For both groups, I use the Cambridge Interchange series, which offers a strong foundation in grammar and communication skills. However, I also integrate content tailored to their specific objectives. For teenagers, I focus on developing fluency and academic skills, while with adults, I incorporate business English scenarios like meetings and job interviews. I prioritize student engagement through multimedia, interactive activities, and real-world applications.

I am applying because teaching is more than just a job to me—it’s a passion I’ve carried since I was 9 years old. Growing up in a public school, I often helped my teachers with English classes, and it was then that I realized the transformative power of education. Seeing how learning English can open doors and change lives, as it did for me, is why I’m committed to helping others. I believe education is the foundation for building brighter futures, and I want to be part of that journey for others.
