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.
