About Patty
I earned my PhD in the United States and my Master’s degree in China, giving me strong academic and international experience in English-speaking and multicultural environments.
Hi! My name is Patty, and I’m Brazilian living in the mountains of Colorado, USA. I speak Portuguese, English, and Spanish, and I have traveled to more than 100 countries. I know how challenging it can be to learn English because I also started from zero when I moved abroad.
Today, I use English every day in my personal, academic, and professional life, especially in hospitality, travel, customer service, interviews, and international work environments. My goal is to help students feel more confident speaking English in real-life situations.

My lessons are focused on practical English for real-life situations, especially for students who want to speak with more confidence for travel, interviews, work, life abroad, or international opportunities.
My teaching methodology is conversation-based, personalized, and goal-oriented. Instead of focusing only on grammar rules, I help students use English in situations they may actually experience, such as introducing themselves, answering interview questions, speaking at work, asking for help while traveling, communicating with customers, or preparing to live in another country.
A typical lesson starts with a short warm-up conversation to help the student feel comfortable speaking. Then, we focus on the student’s main goal, such as interview practice, travel vocabulary, pronunciation, work communication, or daily conversation. I include corrections, useful vocabulary, natural expressions, pronunciation tips, and speaking practice throughout the class. At the end of each lesson, I give clear feedback and practical suggestions so the student knows what to improve next.
My goal is to create a supportive and relaxed environment where students feel safe to make mistakes, practice speaking, and build confidence. I understand how challenging it can be to learn English because I also started from zero when I moved abroad. That experience helps me teach with patience, empathy, and a real understanding of what students need to communicate better in English.

Paty is an amazing teacher, fun, and knows how to explain things in a clear and easy-to-understand way. We spent some time learning together, and I can confidently say that I was successful in my learning journey.
