Who the lessons are for
From your very first “hello” to fluent, polished English.
Starting from scratch
For complete beginners, or anyone coming back to English after many years. A solid foundation, at your own pace, with no fear of making mistakes.

For anyone who feels stuck. Lots of conversation, new vocabulary and practice to build fluency — and start seeing progress again.
A specific goal
Short programs for job interviews, travel, moving abroad, English for work or exam preparation.
What the lessons are like
A private lesson only makes sense if it’s designed for you.
1
A tailor-made plan
Before we start, I consider your level, goals, schedule, personality and interests. The plan is updated after every lesson.
2
Conversation comes first
Grammar and pronunciation matter, but the focus is on you speaking. Up-to-date international textbooks, plus videos and texts chosen around what interests you.
3
Online and flexible
Live video lessons, wherever you are. Life happens: occasional rescheduling without slowing down your progress.
About me
Hi, I’m Fabiana Dupont.
English has been part of my life since the cradle: I was born in Venezuela, grew up in Brazil and lived in the United States for 12 years, in Orlando and Chicago. I graduated in Translation and Interpreting from Alumni, have worked as a translator and English teacher for over 15 years, and was academic coordinator at Elfe Idiomas in São Paulo.
Along the way, I learned that the most valuable thing about a language is real communication. Verba et facta means “words and deeds” in Latin — and that’s what my lessons are about: turning what you learn into something you can actually use.
Learning with meaning and connection makes it all more effective. And a lot more fun.

What my students say
“After trying several English courses and feeling frustrated with all of them, I took a chance on Zoom lessons with Fabiana. I learned far more in three months than in years at a traditional school — not just the language, but also geography, history, art and cultures I didn’t know. I never liked studying English, and now I love it.”
Lawyer, Atibaia (translated from Portuguese)
“Fabiana has the perfect balance between good teaching and interesting classes. I always had difficulties learning a new language, and I realized that a good teacher is, above all, someone who knows how to motivate a student to keep learning. Fabiana has this skill.”
Student
“After many years without studying English, your support is essential: you notice where I struggle and encourage me every lesson. At first I didn’t think I’d get used to online lessons, but I was wrong — they’re just as effective, and you’re always there to help.”
