START SPEAKING TODAY AND LEARN ALONG THE WAY
Twist and Talk offers individual English and Portuguese conversation-based lessons suitable for all levels.
Conversation starts from class one.
Instead of following a grammar book, the classes are based on the student's most urgent needs and interests and the language is taught through authentic material such as videos and articles.
The grammar and vocabulary will emerge from our conversation.
NATURAL LEARNING
You didn't know how to read, how to write or anything about grammar rules when you learned your mother tongue, and yet, you were an advanced speaker by the age of 3! At Twist and Talk you'll learn English or Portuguese the same way you learned your own language - by EXPERIENCING it!
We will work together to develop your communication in a natural way.
The need to learn vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation will emerge
as needed.
BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCE
Not only are our classes based on pure conversation, but we also use teaching techniques to make students feel confident and comfortable while speaking English or Portuguese to other people who are not their teacher.
Tackling the problems you have now and through constant and intensive
training, gain confidence with the knowledge you acquire at each class.
With techniques to boost your confidence and working on the vocabulary
according to your needs, you will achieve fluency in a pleasant way and
in a relatively short time.

The experience was amazing. The teachers were always well prepared and I could see they really enjoyed teaching English.
The material for the classes was always interesting, according with the progress of the students.
