About me

Dual citizen with experience in conversational classes

Hi everyone! My name is Tomas, and I would love the opportunity to help you improve your English, Portuguese, French, or Spanish through interesting and engaging conversations! I currently live in Brazil and am a professional airplane pilot. Previously I worked in the public sector in Canada in the project management field. I was born in Brazil but have lived half my life in Canada. It's also where I learned English and French. Spanish came a little later when I felt like I needed a new challenge! I have a huge passion for aviation, photography, sports and animals. My dream one day is to be able to rescue all of the estimated 30,000+ cats and dogs that live on the streets in my hometown. I have taught informally to family and friends since I was 13. When I was 14, I took and passed the CPE (Certificate of Proficiency in English) from the University of Cambridge in the UK, coming 1% point shy of the highest mark/grade. I also prepare pilots to take - and pass - the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) English Language Test, which allows them to work and travel internationally. My strong point is taking on a student who already has a decent knowledge of the language and helping them become more fluent, and acquire better and more extensive vocabulary. This doesn't mean however that I am not open to the challenge of taking on brand new students and starting from scratch! I am a big believer in always having classes with video ON, as our body language can definitely help in learning, pronunciation, and our own interaction and connection.

Me gustó la primera clase con Tomás porque es un profe dinámico, estuvimos practicando conversación, explica bien y me corrige mis errores. Espero que podamos hacer un gran trabajo ya que me quiero certificar en portugués.
