Speak English with confidence, not just correctness.
Hi, I'm LaTasha! I'll help you build real confidence speaking English — whether that's chatting naturally, acing an exam, or feeling comfortable in meetings at work.
Online worldwide · In-person lessons in Portugal only
With over a decade of teaching experience — including work in special education — I teach English to students all over the world, entirely online.
I also live in Portugal, and offer in-person lessons locally for students based here — everyone else, anywhere in the world, learns with me online.
My approach blends structure with warmth: clear goals and real progress, delivered in a way that's patient, encouraging, and never intimidating. Whether you're preparing for an exam, sharpening business English for work, or just want to speak more naturally, we start where you are.

Just for kids & teens.
I also teach younger students — lessons built around patience, encouragement, and making English feel achievable rather than intimidating.
With an M.Ed. in Special Education alongside my TEFL certification, I bring extra care to pacing, structure, and keeping kids and teens genuinely engaged.
-
Confidence-first conversation
Speaking practice that feels like play, not a test.
-
Schoolwork support
Help with homework, reading comprehension, and writing assignments.
-
Patient, structured pacing
Lessons adapted to how each child learns best, not a one-size-fits-all script.
-
Teen-friendly, not childish
Older students get material that respects their age — real topics, real conversations.
English training for your team.
I work with companies who want their teams communicating more confidently in English — for meetings, presentations, client calls, and everyday collaboration with international colleagues.
Every engagement starts with a short discovery call so we can scope the right format for your team — group sessions, 1:1 coaching, or a mix of both.
-
Meetings & presentations
Practical language for leading meetings, presenting ideas, and speaking up with confidence.
-
Business writing
Clearer emails, reports, and client communication.
-
Flexible format
Group workshops, 1:1 coaching, or a blended program — scoped to your team's actual needs.
-
Custom pricing
Every engagement is quoted individually based on team size and program length.
