I'm Lou or formally Louise, from London in the UK. I specialise in teaching conversational English classes to intermediate to advanced adults. I'm TEFL & TESOL certified and also have a Bachelors degree.
I noticed that many students have studied English online or at a school so they have a good understanding of grammar and the language - but still can't speak English! That's why I created 'English With Lou'. I wanted to create a online space where students could improve their listening and speaking skills in a supportive and encouraging environment.
Lets talk accents, I've got a London British accent. Almost 'received pronunciation' some would call it 'BBC pronunciation' or 'The Queens English' although I'm definitely not as posh as her Majesty! Think more Hermione Granger from Harry Potter!
I've lived in Brazil for a year and I'm currently learning Portuguese! (Nossa que difícil/ Wow, it's difficult) I still get shy when speaking, I know I make mistakes but it's all part of the process. It's really only until now that I totally understand some of the challenges that come with learning a language.
As a result, I'm a very kind and caring teacher, supporting you every step of the way. I like to add joy and laughter in my classes because like the famous Charlie Chaplin once said 'A day without laughter is a day wasted'.
I've worked in language schools, corporate international companies and I've even taught English in a 'favela' in Brazil!
My goal is to get you speaking with more confidence so you can really 'own it' in English!
That's all for now :D
