About Nonato Oliveira

Hi there,
My name is NONATO OLIVEIRA.
I’m looking foward to being your ENGLISH or PORTUGUESE TEACHER.I know what it's like to study a new LANGUAGE, so I CAN HELP YOU IMPROVE YOUR LANGUAGE SKILLS QUICKLY.Let's LEARN ENGLISH AND PORTUGUESE TODAY! I live in NEWARK-NJ, U.S.A. I love to exchange cultural experiences.
My hobbies are: studying, listening to music and outdoor activities such as walking, and cooking out with my FRIENDS.
I’m currently TEACHING ONLINE.
I started teaching English in 1974 and there hasn't been a day when I regret having taken the teaching path.
I have taught different kinds of students: ONE-ON-ONE CLASSES, GROUP CLASSES, ADULTS, TEENAGERS, BEGINNERS, AND ADVANCED STUDENTS.
I had the opportunity to teach ALL KINDS OF STUDENTS, which has given me A COMPLETE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON A RICH CULTURAL EXPERIENCE.
My program is TOTALLY CUSTOMIZED TO THE STUDENT’S NECESSITIES. Some would rather focus on learning the language IN REAL LIFE SITUATIONS, OTHERS WOULD RATHER STUDY GRAMMAR AND UNDERSTAND EACH IDIOMATIC STRUCTURE.

Students have specific reasons to learn a LANGUAGE: whether it is for business, a business trip, a vacation or just for fun.
MY GOAL IS TO RESPECT EACH STUDENT’S NECESSITIES AND RESPOND IN PROVIDING THEM WITH THE TOOLS THAT BETTER SATISFY THEIR NEEDS.
ENGLISH FOR EVERYONE…BEGINNERS TO ADVANCED...DEVELOP YOUR SKILLS IN SPEAKING…READING…WRITING…LISTENING..WITH GRAMMAR, PRONUNCIATION, VOCABULARY, AND FLUENCY TAUGHT BY AN EXPERIENCED TEACHER!

Very good conversation.

Mr Nonato Oliveira is precise, very patient and makes us feel confident in exposing our poor knowledge on the language... We feel comfortable when talking to him and in a few minutes we're sure that we've learnt a lot more than we knew. Sorry about any spelling mistake... In short: excellent teacher! It seems he's a native speaker and that's my goal: being, some day, just like him. Congrats, Master!...
