I’m a Prospective Neurolanguage Coach so I have completed the Language Coaching Certification course but I am in the process of passing my assessment and becoming a certified Neurolanguage Coach.
About me
I am a Certified Advanced Neurolanguage Coach® with over 20 years of experience in language education, working with children, teenagers, and adults, including learners with dyslexia and ADHD.
Throughout my career, I have supported professionals in finance, IT, accounting, medical sales, psychology, veterinary sciences, insurance, and other international fields. I observed that many capable learners were not held back by lack of knowledge, but by stress, pressure, and traditional learning approaches that blocked performance and their ability to learn a language effectively.
This led me to specialise in language coaching through Neurolanguage Coaching®, where neuroscience and coaching principles create a structured, brain-friendly, and personalised approach to language learning.
Today, I support professionals who need to communicate with clarity, confidence, and ease in real-life professional contexts, helping them build strong connections between language, experience, and performance.
✨ Small goals. Strong connections. Real fluency.

My Testimonials and Reviews
"I feel very lucky to have been learning from Ana for over two years. She’s not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive and encouraging. Her teaching style makes learning enjoyable and effective, and I’ve seen real progress in my English."
Márcia - Accountant
"When I started learning English with Ana, I was afraid of failing. However, I quickly overcame my ghosts because her approach is entirely different from traditional teaching. Through Neurolanguage Coaching I lead my own learning and focus on what I want and need through activities that motivate me, while Ana expertly guides me. Learning English is much more effective when connected to my daily life and goals. Ana creates a personalized plan for each student according to their needs, hobbies and occupation. The focus isn't just on rules but on the logic of the language, how our brain works in the face of certain blocks, and how we can solve them. Each session feels like a natural conversation, allowing my confidence, fluency and motivation to grow smoothly and organically. As Ana says: "Let it flow". This approach has changed my perspective on English.
I recommend her 100%!"
Rute - secretary
"I met teacher Ana a few years ago, when I needed to improve my English for work. My English was the basic level I had learned in school, and I had never really invested in developing it, so, it felt like I was starting again from the beginning.
What truly makes a difference with Ana is the way she works. She teaches with passion, patience, and genuine care for her students. Our classes are always relaxed and enjoyable, never stressful, and she creates an environment where learning happens naturally.
Ana understands her students extremely well and always finds the best approach for each person, without ever judging. Because of her dedication and commitment, my English has improved enormously, and today I feel much more confident speaking.
If you’re looking to improve your English or invest in your language skills, I honestly couldn’t recommend anyone better than teacher Ana."
Isabel - Accountant
"I have had the pleasure of learning English with Ana for almost a year and a half. During this time, I have significantly improved my communication skills and expanded my vocabulary, thanks to her clear explanations and strong commitment.
Ana always creates a positive and supportive learning environment, encouraging me to participate and express myself freely without judgment.
I highly recommend Ana to anyone who wants to improve their English in a professional, simple, and effective way."
Margarida - Consultant
"I have been taking regular English lessons with Ana for over a year. She has been helping me develop my vocabulary and fluency.
I have always felt very comfortable communicating with her, as she cultivates a welcoming and supportive environment. It's clear that she loves what she does and is truly dedicated to her students, always creating the most productive learning environment and providing practical tips so we can evolve faster.
For anyone looking to improve their English, no doubt I recommend Ana!"
Lúcia - Marketing Manager
I met Ana a long time ago, when we were both young, but she only recently became my English teacher.
I reached out to Ana because I needed help improving my English, both for work and in my personal life.
I found an excellent professional who always motivates me and never lets me give up. She is a truly great teacher!
Now, I feel much more confident, although I know I still have a lot to learn, and I’m excited to continue this journey with Ana’s help.
