Hi, I'm Filipe Itaborai, founder of Peak.

I was raised in the United States and lived there for more than three decades before returning to Brazil. Throughout my career, I've helped bridge the gap between the Brazilian and American worlds through teaching, interpreting, translation, and entrepreneurship.

Over the years, I've worked with the Brazilian community in the U.S. as an interpreter in courts, hospitals, and business meetings, translated documents and books, and helped countless learners develop the confidence to communicate effectively in English. These experiences gave me a deep understanding not only of the language itself, but also of the culture, history, and real-life situations where communication matters most.

I hold a Bachelor's degree from Nyack College in New York City, am TKT-certified by Cambridge, and am a certified Color Vowel instructor specializing in pronunciation and spoken communication.

Today, through Peak, my mission is to help learners go Beyond Speaking. I believe confidence comes from understanding, and that language learning is at its best when people feel capable, connected, and part of something bigger than a course.

Whether you're here to improve your pronunciation, strengthen your communication skills, or deepen your connection with English, I'm glad you're here.
