English is meant to be lived!
Build the confidence to communicate, connect,
and create your life in English.
English should make your life easier — not smaller.
Build the confidence to speak, connect, work, and live more independently in English.
At LIV English, we help immigrants use English in real life through practical classes, personalized support,
and a learning environment where you can grow without fear of making mistakes.
YOU MAY KNOW MORE ENGLISH THAN YOU THINK
You just need to feel confident using it.
Maybe you understand English, but freeze when it is time to speak.
Maybe you avoid conversations because you are afraid of making mistakes.
Maybe you have studied English for years, but still struggle to express yourself naturally at work, in social situations, at appointments, or in everyday life.
At LIVEnglish, we help you move from knowing English to actually living in English.
ENGLISH IS MEANT TO BE LIVED
We help you turn English into confidence, independence, and connection.
Our goal is not simply to help you learn more grammar or vocabulary.
We help you use English to:
- communicate more confidently at work
- handle everyday situations with greater independence
- build meaningful relationships
- express your ideas more naturally
- create new opportunities in your life
Because English is not just something you study. It is something you live.

ABOUT US
LIV English was born from a dream: to help Brazilian immigrants experience English with confidence, ease, and a true sense of belonging. Here, learning English is more than studying a language — it is a journey of personal growth, independence, and self-confidence.
We create a welcoming environment where students feel safe to learn, make mistakes, and find their voice. With every class, fear gives way to courage, insecurity becomes confidence, and students begin to see themselves as capable of communicating and building their lives in English.
LIV English was founded by Livia Leal, a Brazilian English language professional who has also experienced the journey of building a new life in Canada. Because of this, we deeply understand the challenges, insecurities, and victories Brazilian immigrants experience while adapting to a new country, navigating a different culture, and finding their voice in English.
More than teachers, we are partners in each student’s learning journey. Through empathy, personalized support, and a practical teaching approach, LIV English helps students overcome language barriers, rebuild their confidence, and use English more naturally in their everyday, professional, and social lives.
We believe that learning English can open doors to greater independence, stronger connections, new opportunities, and a deeper sense of belonging in a new country.
At LIV English, every student is unique, and every achievement deserves to be celebrated. 🩶
Our Vision
To transform lives through English, helping immigrants communicate with confidence, independence, and a true sense of belonging, while making English a bridge to new opportunities, meaningful connections, and personal growth.
Our Mission
To empower immigrants through practical, human-centered English education, helping them communicate authentically, navigate life in a new country with confidence, and create new possibilities for their future.
Our Values
- Humanity: Learning begins with care, respect, and genuine listening.
- Empathy: We understand each student’s story, challenges, and emotions.
- Authenticity: No one-size-fits-all formulas. Our teaching is connected to real life and each student’s individual needs.
- Confidence: We help students feel safe expressing themselves without fear of making mistakes.
- Independence: We encourage students to take ownership of their learning and use English with greater autonomy.
- Connection: We build meaningful connections between students, strengthening community and a sense of belonging.
TEACHER LIVIA
Your CELPIP workshops are led by Teacher Livia Leal, an English teacher with over 19 years of experience, 12 years as a proficiency test evaluator, expertise as a test developer, and certification as a CELPIP Certified Paragon Level 2 Instructor.
This means you are not learning from generic tips. You are learning from someone who understands how language exams are built, how evaluators think, and what can make a response stronger or weaker.
Based in Canada, Livia uses her experience to help students prepare for the CELPIP exam with strategy, structure, and confidence.
Since 2022, she has supported students who need CELPIP for immigration, PGWP, professional opportunities, and new beginnings in Canada, always with a clear, supportive, and results-focused approach.

O curso tem sido maravilhoso pra mim! Adoro a praticidade de não ter que ir à uma escola para aprender, ficar dependendo do ritmo de turma para avançar nos módulos, não preciso gastar fortunas com materiais (que na maioria das vezes nem usamos), enfim SÓ TENHO ELOGIOS.

Livia is an amazing teacher!
She helped me truly understand how to approach the CELPIP test and taught me great techniques. She is always very patient and professional. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to study with her — thanks to her guidance, I achieved the score I needed.
Thank you, Livia! 💙
Marilis Schumann

Me and my husband took the CELPIP preparation session classes with Livia as a friend’s recommendation. Overall the experience was amazing, she is very knowledgeable to determine each person weekness and help to get desired results on the test. After taking the classes with Livia, me and my husband got amazing results that allow us to complete our immigration process in Canada. Thank you, Livia, always will be happy for all the knowledge shared that now we are implementing also in our day to day life.

I am very satisfied with Livia’s course. Her teaching method is excellent and perfectly met my needs. She is a very careful teacher, attentive to detail and truly concerned about the students’ progress.
The classes are well-organized, clear, and focused on what really matters. Furthermore, Livia is very approachable, patient, and always willing to help.
Thanks to God and Livia’s help, I managed to achieve the score I was aiming for. I highly recommend the course to anyone who truly wants results.
Breno Lopes
CELPIP Training Student
I took private lessons with Livia for a month and, following her tips and structures, I achieved the highest possible score in all CELPIP competencies.
Her knowledge not only of the test itself but also of how to impress the examiners, combined with Livia’s precise tips for using advanced structures, were fundamental to this achievement.
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and believing that it would be possible to obtain a CLB 10 in all competencies, even when I was sure it wouldn’t be.
Leo Pereira
CELPIP Training Student
Professor Lívia’s valuable tips and the quality of the recorded lessons boosted my Writing skills to level 10 in the very first lesson, and helped me improve from CLB 8 to CLB 9 on the test. On the CELPIP exam, I saw a substantial increase in all areas, achieving CLB 11 in Listening, Reading, and Speaking skills solely through the tips from the recorded lessons, resulting in a gain of almost 70 points in my Express Entry profile.
Professor Lívia’s experience is very clear when she applies a direct and efficient methodology. The patience and lightness of her explanations made me comfortable making mistakes without fear of judgment, and these are the course’s strengths.
Without a doubt, I recommend the course to anyone seeking effective preparation for the test. My experience was transformative, and I am certain that other students will also benefit.
Rafael Fontenele
CELPIP Training Student
Lívia is a dedicated, patient teacher who is truly committed to the success of her students. Her classes are well-organized, practical, and focused on the needs of each student. She manages to explain complex content in a simple and objective way, making learning lighter and more efficient.
Thanks to her support and teaching method, I was able to develop my confidence in English and achieve a very important milestone for me: obtaining the necessary CELPIP score to continue my immigration process to Canada.
More than teaching English, Teacher Lívia inspires her students to believe in their potential and not give up on their goals.
I am very grateful for all the knowledge, dedication, and support throughout this journey. I recommend LIVEnglish and Teacher Lívia to anyone looking for quality education, personalized attention, and concrete results.
