Oi gente! 

I'm an accomplished educator, translator and transcriber in Portuguese, English and French with over 8 years of experience, hailing from the state of Goiás in Brazil. I have a Bachelor's degree in Languages (French and Francophone studies major) and I am currently a Master's degree student in Cultural Studies in France. Immersed in the picturesque city of Bordeaux for more than 3 years now, I've embraced its cultural treasures, complementing my diverse background in music, art and culture.

Throughout my teaching tenure, I've engaged with various age groups and proficiency levels in Portuguese, English, and French. Beginning as an English tutor for high school and college students, I progressed to teaching English across different skill levels and facilitating dynamic conversation classes at a professional institution. Moreover, I had the privilege of serving as a Portuguese language tutor for France Éducation Internationale, an initiative backed by the French government. In 2019, I transitioned to online instruction, mentoring children aged 4-12 in English while also leading French as a Foreign Language (FLE) sessions for small groups and individuals ranging from A2 to C1 levels. 

During our first trial lesson, I will make sure to understand your goals, what you like, and how you learn best. I always keep in mind that everyone is different, so I adjust my material for each student. I like using the communicative approach, encouraging conversation right from day one in a suitable way (level-wise). But I am also qualified to focus on grammar and very specific aspects of the language if you desire or if we judge this necessary. 

As a language, art and culture enthusiast and professional, in my sessions, you'll delve into Brazilian culture through music, literature, videos, quizzes and many other tools. 

Language learning has to be fun, in my opinion. That’s why we will always talk about things that interest and inspire you. If we’re practicing grammar or just talking about something else, I want to make it interesting for you and link the grammatical and formal terms to real-life subjects. Therefore, your emotional filter will be open and as a result your journey will be fun and enriching. 
 

If you feel like you want to embark on this journey alongside me, don't hesitate to schedule that trial lesson.

Falou e tchau tchau.

It has allowed me to share my knowledge and cultural experiences with others while also learning from them. I am grateful for the opportunity to have started my career as a teacher in such a unique and fulfilling way.

Hello everybody! My name is Duarte and I was born and brought up in Lisbon, Portugal. I communicate in Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, and a smidgen of German and Italian. After departing Lisbon in 2014, I resided in Berlin, Germany for 6 years, where I turned into a Portuguese instructor. I relocated to Madrid, Spain in March 2020.

I adore instructing Portuguese to all varieties of proficiency levels and group sizes, and I believe acquiring any language enhances one's life significantly! I've always relished mastering other languages, and it's a delightful experience for me to impart knowledge of my own.

Since commencing teaching, I've encountered learners from all corners of the globe, with diverse levels, backgrounds, aptitudes, and shortcomings - from complete novices who embarked from ground zero (and one year later were engaging in discussions with me on a diverse array of subjects) to exceedingly advanced learners who sought assistance in exam preparation.

My approach concentrates on verbal communication and utilizing the language - the conversational topics can be profoundly language-focused (you might say "textbook" focused - daily routines, your weekends, traveling, etc.) and intertwined with Portuguese culture. Grammar, reading, writing, and vocabulary are immensely crucial, but my aim and primary focus are for the learner to converse as much as feasible, within a secure, enjoyable, and engaging setting, while assimilating and refining the other facets of the language.

Hi there! My name is Rodrigo and I will be happy to help you achieve your goals, be it to communicate with Brazilian friends, travel, work, get a language certification, develop your child’s Portuguese language, or other reasons.

My lessons:

My goal is to develop your communicative competence in the Portuguese language, whether for professional, academic, or personal use, and to familiarize you with the Brazilian culture. 

My approach is student-centered learning, so we will build class formats that best suit your needs. 

Resources used in our classes: textbooks, videos, songs, role-plays, quizzes, games, podcasts, apps, and much more.

I can help you with grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, and conversation. We will talk about topics that are of interest to you, as well as articles that we will read together.

I offer materials for all levels and interests, such as general Portuguese, business Portuguese, academic Portuguese, Portuguese for kids and teenagers, idioms, presentation, prep for the Celpe-bras exam, pronunciation, and so forth.

About me:

I am from São Paulo, Brazil, and I am presently living in Santiago, Chile. I am passionate about languages. I speak English and Spanish fluently and currently I am studying Japanese (A2 level). I love discussing a great variety of subjects such as cultures, literature, music, and linguistics. I am also a musician and play a traditional Japanese instrument called shamisen (influenced by São Paulo’s Japanese town).

I got my Bachelor of Arts degree in Portuguese and English in 2018 having now had 6 years of in-person teaching experience and 4 years of online teaching experience.

Olá, hello, hola ;) I'm Diogo from Portugal, and it will be my pleasure to guide you through the Portuguese language and culture, adapting the sessions to you. I have a passion for languages and I really enjoy tutoring, learning and always having fun in the process, in more professional or informal environments. I like to follow a structured methodology using the latest tools, adapting games, developing listening and writing skills, having friendly conversations, entertaining grammar and vocabulary exercises, using rich media such as videos and songs, text comprehension, pronunciation, and more..

I have academic studies in Management and Computing Science, and Digital Marketing. I have been tutoring for over ten years now, it is true I enjoy talking about every subject.

I am Portuguese, 39 years old, currently I'm living in Portugal, always close to the ocean. In addition to native Portuguese, I'm fluent in English and Spanish, I have lived in Madrid for 8 years, and at the moment I'm also enjoying learning Arabic and Hindi, I don't dance Bollywood yet ;).

I am very curious, and hence I will be delighted to chat with you in Portuguese as soon as possible, share the Portuguese culture and learn about yours.

I love different cultures, sharing views and perspectives, languages, music, the ocean, pedagogy, science, motorcycles, politics,  literature, nature, sports, sociology, technology, philosophy, economics, psychology... everything interesting. ;D

Hello there! My name is Vitória. Nice to meet you!

I have been a Brazilian Portuguese tutor for about a year now. I LOVE my job, teaching is truly one of my passions. Getting to meet new people, from different cultures, and talking about my language, sharing my culture, is truly a privilege. I also enjoy learning languages and studying linguistics in my spare time. Besides that, I also like to listen to music and read books. How about you?

The methodology that I have chosen is to use the book Muito Prazer, which is fun and easy to understand. I also enjoy teaching speaking and listening lessons by talking about Brazilian culture and asking questions about the studen'ts own culture. If necessary, I can also make extra materials. If you wish to learn something specific, I am happy to assist!

Do you have people in your life that speak Portuguese and you wish to speak with them in their language? Do you intend to visit or even move to Brazil? Or do you simply enjoy learning new languages? Whichever is your case, I am here for you!

Olá! My name is Carolina and it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Portuguese, and I have been teaching my mother tongue for over 5 years at university level. I like to diversify the materials I use as much as possible to focus on all different aspects of the language, but I tend to prioritize speaking practice. I have taught courses as diverse as Spoken Portuguese, Advanced Writing, Portuguese Culture/Literature, and even Sports Readings in Portuguese. Your language goals will always play a part when planning our lessons, so don't hesitate to tell me what you expect.

If you plan on visiting Portugal as a tourist or have Portuguese speaking friends/relatives you may prefer a conversational approach, but if you're interested in using the language for business, you may be interested in learning how to compose an e-mail in Portuguese (an underestimated art form). No matter what your motivation to learn Portuguese is, I am keen in hearing about it. I'll also try to accomodate your interests as much as possible.

If you are curious about the story of how I became a Portuguese teacher, read ahead:

I studied Modern Languages at the University of Coimbra (look it up; it's one of the oldest universities in Europe!) and Literature at the University of Glasgow (quite a stunner as well). One day, a Chinese friend at the pub asked me whether I'd like to apply to his home university, all the way in China, as a Portuguese lecturer. I said 'no way,' so naturally, I ended up moving there shortly after and living in the beautiful city of Harbin for 3 amazing years. Not only did that experience provide me with adventure, but also a lifelong calling: I have loved teaching ever since. After returning to Portugal, I taught for two years at Beijing Sport University (online). Now I work as a freelance online teacher and divide my time between Portugal and Sweden.

My name is Pamela, I'm from Brazil and I'm ready to help you learn Portuguese with ease. I teach students of all levels and I tailor my lessons to your goals and interests, offering bits of cultural content to help you immerse yourself in the language. I have three years of online teaching experience and formal training on Portuguese as a Second Language (PLE - Português como Língua Estrangeira).

Having learned four foreign languages myself, I can understand your difficulties and offer my own experience on how to overcome them. I have a degree in Communication and have worked for ten years in the print and online media. Therefore I can also help you improve your writing and correct or revise your written production. 

As for my personal tastes, I'm a big fan of literature, music and cinema, an occasional biker and an avid traveller and foodie.

Let's schedule a trial lesson! Hope to see you soon.
