Biography
I am a TOEFL-certified English teacher, a professor at the State University of New York and a multilingual, multicultural educator immersed in American and Brazilian cultures, with teaching experience in the United States and Brazil. I also speak Spanish, as I lived in Mexico and worked in several Latin American countries.
I am dedicated to supporting you on your language-learning journey. Learning a new language can be challenging, but it is extremely rewarding. You are taking an essential step to expand your skills and open new opportunities for yourself.
Whether you want to improve your academic English, strengthen your professional qualifications or communicate better with friends and family, I am ready to help you reach your goals. I can prepare you for English proficiency tests, university admission exams, job interviews, business meetings, conferences and travel plans.
My teaching and learning environment is friendly and welcoming, a place where you will feel comfortable and confident practicing your English. Lessons are tailored to your needs, interactive and enriched with audiovisual materials to make sure you learn and communicate in English.

Where she has taught and lived
A path between cultures
What separates a good lesson from a generic one is who is on the other side. Ivani has learned, taught and worked on both sides of that bridge.
United States
Professor at the State University of New York (SUNY). PhD from the University of Maryland and master's degree from the University of San Diego.
Brazil
Degree in Journalism from Faculdade Cásper Líbero and teaching experience in the country. Portuguese is her native language — she knows from the inside what holds Brazilian students back.
Mexico and Latin America
Years living in Mexico and work in several Latin American countries, which brought fluent Spanish and a deep cultural repertoire of the region.
