English teacher who teaches students and business professionals

Hi there! My name is Evelyn, I’m 26 and I’m originally from Brazil, but I’m currently living in Bonn, Germany. I’ve been teaching English for 2 years, primarily to business managers, including those from Telefónica. I have experience with both beginners and advanced students, as well as preparing for exams like GMAT and TOEFL. Although I don’t have a formal teaching certificate, I’ve taught over 2,000 hours, shaping my approach. When it comes to teaching English, I believe the most important thing is to create a safe, welcoming space where students feel comfortable learning and making mistakes. As a social scientist in training, I understand that stepping into a new environment, especially with language, can feel vulnerable. So, my role is to be a supportive guide, someone who listens and encourages them along the way. From the first day, I love getting to know my students personally—learning about their interests, hobbies, goals, and any concerns they may have. This helps us connect, and when we connect, students feel more at ease taking risks and trying out new things in English, even if they’re not yet confident. I’m passionate about English and especially about the structure and beauty of its grammar, and I love helping students build their own connection with the language. I want to pass on my enthusiasm and help them see English not just as a subject, but as a tool they can use to express their unique ideas. My hope is that students feel comfortable with me and feel free to share their own routines, interests, and goals. Together, we can make learning English a natural and enjoyable part of their lives.
