Founded in 2016 by Wilson Silva and Giovanni Mazochi, English Time was created with the mission of offering a more flexible, student-focused English education — something that was hard to find in traditional schools. Initially, the classes were held in person in a dedicated space. But with the pandemic, the course went fully online. The transition was a success: the team specialized in remote teaching and developed a dynamic, adaptable method using various digital tools and techniques. Today, English Time is 100% online and continues to offer personalized, high-quality lessons focused on real results for adults and professionals from different fields.
Giovanni has been an English teacher since 2005, with extensive experience in various language schools. He lived abroad for six years — in New Zealand, Australia, the UK, and Portugal — which enriched his fluency, cultural knowledge, and teaching approach. He holds a degree in English Literature from UFMG and started a Master’s degree focused on Tolkien Studies, deepening his expertise in literature and English-speaking cultures. Since 2014, he has also taught in primary and secondary schools, working with students of different ages and backgrounds. In 2016, he co-founded English Time with Wilson, offering dynamic, personalized lessons tailored to each student's goals.
