About

Hello, I’m Adriana Vandelinde, an English instructor with over 15 years of dedicated expertise in proficiency exams and Business English. I am the author of English for Women and CELPIP Success, and the host of the upcoming podcast English Talk. My educational background includes studies in Linguistics and Business Management, with portions of my academic journey taking place in Boston, United States, and Toronto, Canada.

 

I embrace the communicative approach, providing students with ample opportunities to develop their skills. From grammar and vocabulary to pronunciation and intonation, I guide students in thinking and organizing their ideas in English, fostering a comprehensive language learning experience. 

​

What sets me apart is my unique ability to integrate cultural insights with language instruction. My proficiency in multiple languages enables me to understand and effectively address the common challenges English learners face. Drawing from my experiences living and working in three different countries, I offer valuable perspectives that enhance the learning process. By teaching the nuances of North American culture alongside English, I provide a richer, more immersive educational experience. This comprehensive approach not only helps students master the language but also equips them with the cultural fluency needed to thrive in an English-speaking environment.

​

Beyond the classroom, I am an avid enthusiast of literature, philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience. During my leisure hours, you’ll find me listening to music, watching movies and series, and spending time with family and friends—a delightful escape from the world of words and ideas.
