CAMBRIDGE EXAM PREPARATION

Pair lessons depend on the availability of compatible learners.
Small-group programs may also be offered on demand.

01
Learning should be student-centered and emergent

Lessons prioritize learners’ needs, interests and the language that naturally emerges through interaction.

03

Language learning is a continuous journey

Proficiency develops through curiosity, meaningful exposure, careful noticing and continued engagement with the language.

02
Lexis is at the heart of language learning

Learners notice, explore and recycle chunks, collocations and patterns to communicate more naturally and precisely.

04
Teachers should also invest in their own language development 

Developing their own proficiency strengthens teachers’ confidence and their ability to support their students.

WHAT I BELIEVE ABOUT

These principles shape how I plan my lessons, respond to learners and support long-term language development.

Livia was a tremendous help as I tackled the challenge of preparing for the CAE exam within a two-month timeframe. Despite previously giving up due to fear of falling short, her support and encouragement enabled me not just to pass but to excel. This achievement stands as a significant milestone in my career as an English teacher, and I’m glad to say she was part of it.

The lessons I took with Lívia Borba consisted of a preparation for the speaking paper of Cambridge's C1 exam. Honestly, after taking classes with her I feel quite confident to face this challenge as she helped me understand exactly what I am supposed to do in each part of the speaking paper. Additionaly, the thing I liked best about her lessons is the invaluable feedback I got based on my own production, in class and extra class. This helped to improve my language skills by stretching my vocabulary with useful phrases, new words and idioms. All things considered, I would highly recommend her course to those who might be interested in taking their English skills to the next level.

Lívia's class is a safe space where I can make mistakes and try to express myself in another language. The lessons are personalized and based on my goals and interests. I met Lívia during a challenging time for me and, thanks to her teaching, I have made significant progress and feel more confident.

A teacher Livia é demais. Descobri o trabalho dela em pesquisas nas redes sociais e em nossa primeira conversa já pude notar seu comprometimento e conhecimento em ensinar. Traz assuntos variados, com materiais dinâmicos e práticos. Estamos adorando as aulas e ela tem ajudado a melhorar nosso inglês cada vez mais.

Minha jornada de aprendizado com a Livia tem sido verdadeiramente transformadora. A metodologia adotada não apenas melhorou minha habilidade como aluna, mas também me motivou a explorar detalhes da língua inglesa que anteriormente passavam despercebidos. Como ela mesma diz, me tornei uma "language detective". Esse crescimento não se limitou ao meu papel de aluno; como professora, suas aulas me ajudaram a repensar e melhorar minhas próprias práticas de ensino.

As aulas com a teacher Lívia são focadas nos meus objetivos de ter um bom rendimento no C1 - Cambridge Exam. Confesso que, quando tracei essa meta, não me achava capaz nem pela minha habilidade com a língua, nem por que não conhecia nada sobre os testes de Cambridge. Todavia posso dizer que tudo se torna prazeroso quando temos uma boa mestre para nos auxiliar nessa jornada quase épica rs. Com o conhecimento, a organização e os recursos disponibilizados, me sinto em boas mãos, e com plena confiança de que essa meta, apesar de desafiadora, é atingível. Cada aula não é apenas um aprendizado só sobre o idioma ou teste, mas também, sobre como lecionar de uma maneira eficiente, metódica e que dá resultado. Posso afirmar, sem dúvidas, que as aulas renovam o fôlego e nos mostra que somos capazes e nem tudo está perdido hahaha. Muito obrigada, teacher, por ser uma inspiração!
