Our methodology
Our communicative method approaches learning with a focus on the four core language skills: reading, listening, speaking, and writing. A crucial element is students’ enthusiasm and motivation, which we strive to reinforce continually. The teacher-student relationship is characterized by politeness, respect, creativity, individual attention, and personalization of classes and content, making the language acquisition process engaging and enjoyable.
Students receive personalized reading, listening, and writing assignments to practice at home. These may include current news articles, literature, TV and movies, TED talks, music—always authentic content tailored to students’ current level and interests.
Classes are a combination of structured and free-flowing conversation based on the homework assignment and a broad variety of topics of discussion, aimed at providing students with increasing fluency and confidence in their speaking abilities. The specific approach is tailored to students’ exact needs and learning objectives. Teachers introduce new vocabulary in the context of conversation and correct mistakes in grammar and pronunciation.
The vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation items that are most important for the student to learn are recorded through a proprietary app and become the content for students to master over time. They are organized into lessons and can be reviewed with fun games and activities, such as Crosswords, Flashcards, and the original Grammar Rush game.
The combination of authentic materials geared to students’ interests, engaging conversation with native-speaking professionals, and context-based, personalized content is what makes our Natural methodology stand apart.

Our team



Victor | Founder
When he was five years old Victor Hart lived with his American parents in Africa – he was trilingual and wondered about the differences among the various languages that surrounded him. He grew up mainly in the United States where he majored in Political Sciences at the prestigious Williams College in Massachusetts, in 2000. He then returned to Brazil to take care of the family farm, and soon decided to create a language institute in nearby Brasília. In January of 2003 he hired a second teacher for Natural English (he was the first) and dedicated the next five years to developing the institute and its methodology, including a book for beginners, with original games. Currently Victor is an analyst in the international sector of the Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU), Brazil’s equivalent of the General Accounting Office (GAO). He continues to manage the farm on weekends, teaches children in the Natural Kids department of the language institute - where he is available for consultations with management - and he studies Law at the University of Brasília (UnB) and Python programming on his own. Victor is a native speaker of English and Portuguese, almost-native in Spanish, and fluent in French. He dreams of adding technology to the proven success of Natural’s teaching method in order to assist thousands of students worldwide to acquire and master foreign languages.
