My story!

Here is my story! Why I became a teacher and why I want to help you!



Once upon a time I had a naive teenage dream...the dream to be a rockstar…Have you ever had a dream like that?

Like so many influenced by tv and media..I thought I was going to be a rich famous musician and it was all going to be so easy…

My passion was playing guitar...I spent hours and hours practising in my room, determined to one day conquer the world with my music…

I was in love with this dream so much, high school was so boring...I didn’t care about my high school studies anymore, who cares about studying when I can just study music at “rock school”?!

So I started working in a hotel washing dishes.. I hated the job but it was all going to be temporary...I still had my dream to be a rock star…

One year later in the interview for “rock school” it was a complete disaster...

That day my dream died...I saw in that moment I had no real talent...that what I had believed about being famous and rich was all a big lie...

I knew I had made a big mistake following this dream.. I cried on the bus home...

I felt like I was a total loser...

I had no options...no plan...no future..

In that moment I only saw a dark future of washing dishes in my small boring town...

So I went back to my horrible boring job but what saved me were the people I worked with ...my Brazilian friends…

I loved how they were so happy and fun...and because the job was so boring I started to learn Portuguese and help my friends learn English.

I could see they needed help and immediately I didn’t feel like a loser anymore,It was fun to learn new words and I started to see how amazing it felt to be useful and to help others.

Helping my friends learn, suddenly my life made sense and I had an incredible feeling of purpose and motivation!

I went from loser to winner!

I started to feel hope where before all I felt was failure from a dark negative future to a super positive feeling where I was useful and helping people!

I started to teach them pronunciation and start to prepare my little lessons…it was a wonderful feeling to start to grow and become a teacher..

In the same period I went on holidays to big rock and metal festivals with my friends from high school.

In Belgium I met a really cool guy who could speak 4 languages...but I could see he was just an ordinary guy, that there was nothing special about learning so many languages,

I saw there was no big mystery, it was just a question of having enough contact with the language and anyone could do it !

I felt determined to be able to speak different languages I had a new motivation and I was inspired by the fact that if this “ordinary” guy could do it then so could I !

I discovered a home study course to learn French that changed my life forever..

It was awesome ...it was a revolution in learning for me..

It was about speaking, listening and forming complete sentences…

I started to feel real confidence in my speaking and listening…

I started to practice French...Portuguese and Spanish as well..

I started a plan to become a teacher and to study languages…

I discovered quickly that to be a professional teacher I needed a university degree…

So I did a training course and applied to a good university to study Spanish and English literature.

After I finished university I applied immediately to do a training course to teach English and 2 weeks after that I started my first job at a language school…

My first day I was super nervous...but I was determined to teach groups and help people

Teaching was awesome, so much fun working with groups but I really started to grow when

I started to make my own lessons about cool stuff! Not just following the same boring textbooks…

I made my own powerpoint presentations and ideas…

I spend 4 amazing years teaching in language schools but I was super frustrated...I wanted to make more direct materials than the books we were “forced” to use in the school…

I wanted to make digital products that could help thousands and thousands of people not just 15 people every week, I knew I had something special to offer…

I started to learn more and more about making new better lessons and materials…

I was constantly testing new ideas and growing, having amazing success with my students…

I quickly become one of the most popular teachers at the school.

One day from nowhere this guy found me on facebook...he wanted to start a business making online courses…

So we worked together for one year and we made a big course...unfortunately we had a big disagreement and we couldn’t work together anymore…

Another disaster and failure...I was upset and annoyed for weeks...so much time and hard work lost...but soon I realized that it was part of my journey to success…

Now I was ready for the world...I knew how to make video and to edit and to share my materials with the world!

It wasn’t easy...many many hours writing materials….many hours writing super clear explanations to help people understand English faster

I wanted to make courses to help people have confidence in speaking and listening...to show people that it’s never too late and you don’t need a boring grammar book to be fluent!

One night when I couldn’t sleep..it was 2.30 am and I was completely awake…

My big idea came to me...to make a course that could teach the secret pronunciation rules that English native speakers use …

This was my real dream...

A course that would prepare people to use English in the real world…

A course that could help people go from intermediate not confident in their English to confident and ready to use English every day!

To be ready for interviews...phone calls...conferences whatever!

If you are not confident in your English…

If you are tired of boring grammar books and language schools then I would like to invite you to join my course and start to speak with confidence!
