Today, I’m joined by Fernanda to talk about a recent (yucky) experience she had while running her Instagram page.

Fernanda (on instagram as @fernanda_englishteacher_br ) is an English teacher with 12 years experience. She specialises in helping people - mainly other English teachers - pass high-level Cambridge exams so that they feel more empowered and confident in their abilities. Despite holding a Celta Pass A, she doesn’t hide her dislike of many traditional ways of teaching, especially the use of coursebooks, and tends to follow a more holistic approach to teaching, also known as Dogme.

On her Instagram page, she shares useful language for using in exams, as well as techniques and tips to help you get the best result possible. She works with students in 1-1 classes and also runs workshops and you can contact her about that by sending her a DM on Instagram.

If you've reached a point in your English studies where typical lessons feel too shallow, Deep Talk: Advanced English Discussions with Rhiannon ELT might be the conversation you've been missing. Hosted by Rhiannon Carter, this podcast moves firmly beyond standard grammar drills and vocabulary lists to engage with the complex, provocative, and often overlooked subjects that shape our world. Each episode is built on the belief that true language mastery happens when you're intellectually invested, tackling themes that genuinely spark curiosity and debate. You'll hear thoughtful explorations into matters like societal attitudes toward death and dying, the nuances of LGBT rights, and the intriguing process of how history gets rewritten. Rhiannon guides these advanced discussions with clarity, making sophisticated ideas accessible while naturally modeling the precise vocabulary and fluid expression fluent speakers use. The dialogue might wander into the cultural significance of witchcraft, examine the relationship between exercise and menstrual cycles, or even pull back the curtain on the less-glamorous realities of being a language teacher on social media. This isn't about passive listening; it's an invitation to stretch your comprehension and develop your own opinions on substantive topics. For advanced learners seeking a richer, more authentic context for their skills, this podcast provides a unique space where challenging English becomes the tool for deeper understanding, not just the end goal.
