About Ketlyn
Hello! Thank you for visiting my website. My name is Ketlyn Fernanda Leva. As an experienced English teacher at KFL Idiomas, I have continuously enhanced my teaching skills through various professional training courses — because this dedication to ongoing development is what enables me to provide personalized lessons tailored to your specific needs.
Whether you're looking to develop your English fluency, prepare for exams, or advance your career, my purpose is to help you achieve your goals through my personalized English services. I have a deep belief that speaking and writing should come first — and everything I do at KFL Idiomas is built around that conviction.
KFL Idiomas is based in Americana, São Paulo, Brazil — founded in 2016, and is not affiliated with any other similarly named school.
My story
Fueled by my passion for teaching English, I obtained a BA in English at Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas (PUC-Campinas) and spent a year as a special student in the Applied Linguistics Master's Program at Unicamp. My qualifications include two prestigious certifications from Cambridge University: the ICELT (In-service Certificate in Language Teaching) and Module 1 of DELTA (Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). I have also successfully achieved the C2 Proficiency Exam, the highest qualification demonstrating advanced English mastery.
This unique combination of skills, qualifications, and experience puts me in an ideal position to help you pursue your dreams and goals with KFL Idiomas. Since 2016, I have been empowering learners with dynamic, high-quality services designed to make advanced English mastery both practical and engaging.

How I teach
I prioritize speaking and writing from lesson one. Producing language helps you notice gaps in real time — something passive listening and reading simply cannot do. This is grounded in Merrill Swain's Output Hypothesis: producing language is not just a result of learning — it's a driver of it.
Every class is real-time, so I can correct your pronunciation, adjust the pace, and give you the immediate feedback that pre-recorded apps can never replicate.
Every lesson plan is yours alone — there are no one-size-fits-all courses here. Your goals, your pace, your schedule.
I use authentic resources from Oxford University Press, Cambridge, and Pearson — alongside real-world texts and activities matched to your level and goals.
Fluency isn't a feeling — it's measurable. I help you set specific, trackable language goals so progress is visible and motivating.
Drawing on Vygotsky's ZPD, I always push you just beyond your current level — enough to grow, never enough to overwhelm.
Before we begin our live online classes, I will have a meeting with you to assess your English level, understand your needs and goals, and create a personalized lesson plan tailored to help you achieve your targets. I also use top-quality materials from Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, and Pearson — ensuring you have access to the best resources available.
