What you need for a Skype English Lesson:
• Skype software (It is FREE!)
• Headphone
• Microphone

Material I recommend for Brazilian students:

• Longman Escolar for Brazilian students (Dictionary + CD)
• Notebook for taking notes

Things to consider:

• Why do you want to study English?
• Where did you study English before?
• How do you study it?
• What do you think about technology for learning a language?
• What are the positive and bad aspects of learning a language through computer?

First things first:

• Let’s have an interview to check your level of English. The first class is for free!
• Let’s see the payment method.


How does a Skype English Lesson work?

• I usually help with learning strategies – how to study, studying techniques, motivation, difficulties, etc.
• The purpose of the course is communication. You do most of the talking in a regular online class. I am just a facilitator.
• There’s some class preparation: listening, reading, and writing.
• There’s a feedback at the end of class: class review, feedback about your performance and class preparation / follow-up.
