About me
With years of experience teaching English online, I've developed an understanding of what students need to succeed. As a language teacher living in Ribeirão Preto, I have a unique ability to help Brazilian and Portuguese-speaking students overcome any obstacles they may face when learning English. I believe that learning a new language should be enjoyable and engaging. My online English courses are designed to teach all areas of the English language, from grammar to conversation skills, with a focus on specific topics such as health, business, socializing, traveling, and studying for exams. I am a native English teacher from Cambridge in the UK. I have a moderate level of fluency in Portuguese and am dedicated to helping students reach their language goals.
Cambridge
I have a Cambridge CELTA which qualifies me to teach English as a foreign language and I was born and raised in the city of Cambridge as well which gives me a unique insight into its culture and surroundings.
Methodology
I have developed my own methodology gained from various different sources, knowledge and experience. The base of my lessons are from the Cambridge CELTA course which teaches that you should never speak the students native tongue if you know it. This is very important as the student must learn to 'think' in English and understand explanations in English instead of translating.
I use PowerPoints, videos, texts/articles and many Cambridge exercise books I have aquired over the years. But somtimes, a conversation class can be more beneficial than anything else as it is how you would speak the language in the real world.

My name is Oliver Harpur. I moved to Brazil in 2016. I have worked in various schools in the state of São Paulo and have been teaching online for almost 10 years. I moved to Brazil because of a beautiful lady who is now my wife and I am lucky to have an amazing daughter as well.
