Hi, my name is Stephen or Steve for short. I have been teaching English as a second language off and on since 1976, when I first arrived in Brazil. I like working with students from overseas as I find the exchange of culture a means of breaking down barriers. Here in Brazil I mostly work with Brazilians and find them fun and intuitive. When I was teaching in England I worked with people from all around the world, which was a great challenged and I loved it. I would pleased to be in contact with you and help you enter the world of English.

I have left the terrible snow and business of Chicago to be back where I belong, in Rio de Janeiro. My first experience with the cidade maravilhosa was in 2012 when I was studying Brazilian culture and Portuguese. That was also my first time teaching English as a Second Language. Teaching English is such a dynamic experience. Learning all the nuances of the language and trying to pass these along across different cultures makes every class fresh and exciting. Of course, I have been blessed to have amazing students who have come from different backgrounds and with different motivations for studying English. When I am not teaching, I enjoy visting art museums, cooking, and walking around the city.
