I am a New Yorker living with my Brasilian girlfriend in São Paulo. I have a small engineering/consulting business here and am a musician as well. I would like to have enough fluency in Portuguese for work and life in general.

  • I Teach: English
  • My Teaching Level: Native
  • My Resume: I am a native of the United States of America and have lived there for most of my life.  I now live in
    Brazil.

    I feel that I am uniquely qualified to help advanced
    students of English improve their comprehension,
    pronunciation and conversation skills.  I have been employed as an Audio and Telecommunications Engineer in the International Broadcasting Industry for almost 30 years.  In order to function at the top levels of my profession and run my own company it is necessary to be able to speak very well and to comprehend many dialects and accents.
    My training and experience in voice recording has
    enabled me to detect and correct pronunciation and
    emphasis. 

    I have worked in Germany, Ireland, France, Norway,
    Italy, England, Russia, Poland, Japan, Korea, India,
    China and Brazil.

    As a result of my experiences in the USA and abroad, I have been consistently able to help my clients and
    coworkers expand their understanding of English in
    common speech as well as in technical and business
    jargon.
