About Steven
- What kind of experience do you have?
In 2001, I qualified as a CELTA (Cambridge) teacher and started my journey helping non-native speakers improve their English.
After several years teaching in-company lessons with top schools in Spain and Brazil, I founded my own language school in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which provided lessons for company professionals.
I grew the school to more than 25 teachers and 500 students across a variety of corporations. Even when running the company I continued to teach executives for fluency improvement, and prepare them for meetings and business presentations in English. I have over 10,000 hours of teaching experience.
After 9 years I sold the school and decided to focus primarily on my passion for teaching one-on-one and writing about business English and fluency improvement.
In 2015, I started my most recent venture – an online language school, where I provide one-on-one English teaching/coaching for international professionals and write weekly blog articles about business English and fluency improvement.
Over the years, I noticed that one of the main challenges for non-native speakers was a lack of confidence speaking English in important situations at work, such as meetings and presentations. As a solution to this, I wrote the e-book, “How to Become a Confident English Speaker at Workâ€.

Recommendations

Steven's tutoring was very important for me, mainly for my professional needs. Before having the coaching, I did not feel confident speaking in English for a long time. Nowadays I feel confident and the improvement in my accent was visible. At work, English comprehension is very important, as I have to listen to interviews, podcasts and speeches from the USA and Europe. I liked Steven's approach with an emphasis on my needs for business communication, which was my main focus.
I strongly recommend Steven's work. He trained me on English communication skills for around 1 year, as well as a presentation for an international board meeting. He has a unique methodology to train English for business skills.
I'm a professional who needs to have a level of proficiency that keeps me updated within the niche of my company, which provides coaching and consulting for HR management. Steven, who is an excellent trainer and teacher, challenged me to reach a higher level of English communication quickly and effectively. He developed a training program completely aligned with my needs, focusing specifically on what I used English for in my day to day professional life.
I always had great difficulty speaking in English. When I started to work in a multinational company, which was always my dream, I found myself escaping or avoiding having to speak in English in meetings, due to not feeling confident. After taking Steven's presentation training I learned specific vocabulary and expressions aligned with my area and I soon developed the confidence to overcome my challenges. As a consequence, my English started to sound much more natural.
Steven's teaching was really important for my confidence and career development, due to improving my English presentation skills. After, I was able to use the most appropriate words to express myself, not only because of the meaning but due to the improvement of my pronunciation. I started expressing my ideas with more confidence and communicating more objectively and clearly.
Steven gave me English tutoring when I was a HR executive at an important multinational company and needed to increase my confidence for English communication. It was a position that demanded dealing with international executives, preparing and delivering presentations, lead meetings, and participating in international seminars. Steven's method included a variety of tools that really developed my English skills in a very special way.
