Description
We are a small language school that uses the language learning process to
help students develop their communication skills, as well as expanding their
horizons through debates and several kinds of discussions on different
subjects. We are trying to expand the languages we offer so if you can speak Chinese let us know!
The idea of this language school that sets us apart from others, is the
concept of “Personal Coaching.” Similar to that of life-coaching, the concept
of personal coaching to create student centered, real-life goals. Why do
they want to learn english? For travel? To relocate? For business? For fun?
The goal is also to bring foreign teachers here to give our students the
experience of speaking English with foreigners and learning about other
cultures.
If you want to experience ‘real life’ in one of the biggest cities in Brazil, this
is your chance. We provide accommodation and some food at the house (You
may purchase any specific foods you may want and keep it in the kitchen as
well).
Types of help and learning opportunities
Help around the house
Language practice

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Once you get to know the students you also get to make new friends and contacts that willas help you to get to know the city better and enjoy it as well! Our students love spending time with all guests we bring soyou cn get a lot of fun!
