    10 anos vivendo em Boston, Massachusetts. Inglês foi minha primeira língua. Como o inglês foi minha primeira língua quando fui morrar em Boston com 6 anos de idade, o português é muito mais difícil de aprender. Entendo a dificuldade de aprender um novo idioma, aprendi o português do zero sozinho! Vamos conversar sobre temas do dia a dia para melhorar seu vocabulário.

    Why choose Victor R.
    "I really enjoyed Victor's classes. He is exceptionally kind and creates a comfortable atmosphere for speaking. His extensive knowledge of neuroscience and the underlying aspects of learning, I believe, makes a significant difference. I highly recommend him."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

🌆 How do I improve my English in São Paulo and what does it take in terms of commitment?

Besides self-study using mobile applications, you have four key possibilities for learning English interactively in São Paulo. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, read about centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are a little more affordable.) Your other resource can be local for-profit language academies that are better priced and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, not-for-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Finally, you can look for a private English tutor in São Paulo. If flexibility is key, you can compare local São Paulo and online English tutors.

🎟 How expensive is it to learn English and what are the ballpark lesson costs for English tutors?

For university and college courses you can estimate English course cost by dividing annual tuition by 10 (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the price of about 50 class hours each semester. Language academies and independent English tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly English tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, positive reviews and popularity. Customer review average for English lessons on Preply is 4.9 out of 5 stars.

📚 What level of English do I need to sign up for a course?

When considering college and learning center classes be prepared to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and exams, so research those in advance. With personal English tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other extras they make available (like intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

🔥 Why is English so difficult and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn English. According to experts, you can gain basic English fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback several hours a week you will be able to understand many sentences, have simple conversations, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and enjoyable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of English. After mastering basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have English tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced level practitioners.

🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking English?

Some people seem to have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in English will require at least 600 hours of active use. The amount of time can differ quite a bit depending on your existing level of English or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, write by hand and online using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in English out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational English classes online.

🤳 Can I pick my own English teacher?

In learning centers, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, always! The largest selection of pre-screened English tutors with full profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

Colleges as a rule structure classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools typically have shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, allows the flexibility to schedule lessons around your commitments, on weekdays and/or weekends.
