Hi, I’m Maria, and I’m excited to help you improve your English! Originally from Lagoinha, Brazil, I moved to the U.S. in 2016 after marrying my American husband, Eric. My mission is to help you enhance your English skills for better job opportunities, travel, and global connections.

Despite struggling with English in college, I persevered and later became a police officer before moving to the U.S. There, I dedicated myself to learning English, attending classes, and practicing daily. I made mistakes, but that helped me gain confidence and fluency in English.

Now, English is a part of my daily life, and I want to help make it a part of yours, too. Along with language skills, I’ll introduce you to American culture, as both are essential for true fluency. Join me on this journey to improve your English and enrich your life!

Eric, a seasoned professional with over 30 years of experience, is a respected expert in training and learning. He holds a PMP certification and brings with him a wealth of knowledge in managing teams. Recently, Eric retired from a high-profile position as a Learning Manager, where he specialized in e-learning, adult education, and instructional design. His contributions have left a lasting impact on the field.

But Eric’s talents extend beyond his career. He’s also the creative force behind an engaging Spanish learning website he developed some years ago. This reflects his innovative spirit and his dedication to making education accessible to all.

In addition to his professional achievements, Eric takes great pride in his role as a loving father to an adorable 5-year-old. His enduring passion for learning, leadership, and family serves as an inspiration in both his professional and personal life.
