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 8 years, both at university level and online. 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 online for two years at Beijing Sport University and a few other language schools operating around the world. Now I work as a freelance online teacher and divide my time between Portugal and Sweden.

Hi there! My name is Aline, and I'm thrilled to connect with you. As a language tutor with over seven years of experience, I specialize in teaching Spanish, Portuguese, and English. I hold not one but two teacher's degrees, one in Portuguese/English Language and another in teaching adults, which means I have the expertise to help you learn your desired language. To top it off, I am also certified in Spanish as a Second Language. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced learner, I am confident that I can help you achieve your language goals.

My teaching journey began seven years ago as a translator for the Spanish embassy in Brazil. One day, the consul approached me and asked if I could teach him Portuguese. From there, I began teaching other diplomats as well. Looking back, I realize that teaching has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. 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.

I also have a large experience teaching English for Portuguese speakers so: Se você fala Português e quer aprender inglês me manda uma mensagem, vai ser um prazer!

In my experience, I have successfully helped students at every level enhance their reading, writing, speaking, and listening abilities. Every student has unique learning needs, so I customize my teaching approach to meet those requirements. I utilize various resources, including textbooks, articles, videos, and interactive activities, to keep my students engaged and enthusiastic about their learning. With my help, you can look forward to an enjoyable and fulfilling learning experience.

Hello Everyone! Welcome to fun and enjoyable Portuguese lessons online!

My name is Paula and I am a qualified Portuguese teacher. I studied to be a Waldorf primary teacher and also completed the TEFL, which additionally allows me to teach English.I also have a bachelor's degree is in Cinema and Communication.

I am half Brazilian/half Portuguese and I also teach both Brazilian and European Portuguese, depending on your preference. I am fascinated by all the varieties of my language and the small distinctions between them. It's so beautiful! 

I first meet students for a trial lesson, to get to know their objectives, their interests, and what kind of learners they are. Each person is different and I try to adapt to every student. In my classes, I use a communicative approach and we start talking from day 1. My goal is to make students feel comfortable with the language and not be afraid to make mistakes. I work on the development of speaking, reading, listening, and writing skills, as well as proper pronunciation and vocabulary enhancement.

In my classes, you will learn about Brazilian or Portuguese culture, through music, texts, videos, quizzes, and pictures. Classes for children are full of games and arts! 

If you feel that this is a good fit for you, come try a lesson with me! Hope to see you soon,

Paula

Oi! Hi! Ciao!

My name is José. I lived most of my life in São Paulo, Brazil, and after a period in London, I’m now based in Turin, Italy. I’m keen to help you learn Portuguese—whether it’s for travelling, communicating with your loved ones, work, or simply for enjoyment—regardless of your level.

From day one, our lessons will be tailored to your goals and interests, making them engaging, enjoyable, and effective in helping you gain fluency and confidence.

I always bring cultural elements into our interactions, drawing connections between your background and the Portuguese-speaking world. This makes the learning experience richer and helps you feel closer to native speakers—an essential part of mastering a language!

I also have professional experience in various fields, from hospitality to business consultancy, which has given me great flexibility with the language. I’ll use this to help you expand your vocabulary and communicate more naturally.

Beyond languages, I’m passionate about music, cooking, and travel. I play the guitar (mainly blues, rock, and bossa nova), love making Brazilian-style barbecue (the famous churrasco!), and love discovering hidden gems in Italian cuisine. So far, I’ve been to 29 countries, including an incredible five-month trip through Southeast Asia, and I can’t wait to explore even more of the world!

Let’s schedule a trial lesson!

Até mais! See you soon! A presto!

Hi, I'm Catarina and I am a native Portuguese speaker who loves to teach and learn. I like to adapt the lessons to my students and have been teaching all levels, from beginner to advanced.  I have a Pedagogical Skills Certificate which allows me to give training here in Portugal and have a passion for sharing some knowledge of my language and also learning from people with different nationalities and backgrounds. 

My education is in Science and Culinary and I love both these fields. I love to read and learn about anything that I find interesting. Hope to see you soon!

Olá! / Hi!

I'm Suse and I'm from Portugal. Here's why you should learn Portuguese with me:

• Exam prep, everyday communication, or travel needs—I'll help you gain confidence.
• Customized lessons tailored to your level and goals.
• Explore culture and history alongside language learning.
• Join my class for an enriching Portuguese journey.

With three years teaching in China, and experience in online classes, I believe in creating a fun and engaging learning environment. Let's master Portuguese together!

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.

Hi! 😊 My name is Tatiana, I'm Brazilian and I love being in touch with people from different cultures, as well as sharing knowledge with those who want to learn my native language and learn about the culture of my country.

I adopt a communicative approach with the students, focusing on conversation and learning grammar as a natural consequence of our interaction. This means that you will learn Portuguese in a fluid, calm and efficient way, assimilating grammar gradually, as you need it.

With a degree in Languages and Literature, a postgraduate certificate in Portuguese Language and a master's degree in Literature, I have taught Portuguese to students of all levels, from beginners to advanced. I also have extensive experience in producing teaching materials for Brazilian publishers.  

My goal here on the platform is to strengthen students' autonomy through active language learning, providing a trusting, dynamic and fun environment, with lots of dialogue and the use of a variety of resources (texts, audios, videos etc.), suited to your goals, needs and learning pace.

I'm here to help you. 😊 I suggest you schedule a trial class with me, so we can get to know each other and have our first conversation in a relaxed way. In this initial session, I want to understand your learning needs. 🤝 See you soon!

Hi, I’m Diogo from Portugal. I use English and Spanish as support languages, so you can feel comfortable and confident right from the start.

I’ll guide you through the Portuguese language and culture with sessions tailored to your goals, learning style, pace, and interests. With an academic background and over ten years of experience, I combine structure and flexibility to help you make consistent, real progress.

I’m passionate about languages and about making learning both effective and enjoyable. My approach blends clarity, creativity, and modern tools (including AI) to help you build a solid understanding of Portuguese—covering speaking, listening, comprehension, grammar, writing, and overall fluency.

I’m a native Portuguese speaker, fluent in English and Spanish, and I lived in Madrid for eight years. I’m currently learning Hindi and Arabic, so the challenges of learning a new language are ever-present in my mind—along with the motivation and curiosity that come with it. (No Bollywood dancing yet… but never say never 😉)

My goal is simple: to help you speak Portuguese with confidence as soon as possible. We’ll focus on real communication while exploring the richness of Portuguese culture and topics that genuinely interest you.

If this sounds like the right fit, I’d be happy to work with you.

See you soon!

I am a devoted language teacher, motivated by my passion for languages and my curiosity about diverse countries and cultures.

Language learning is an immersive journey that requires time and dedication. It not only enhances our understanding of language itself but also provides us with profound insights into varied cultures and worldviews. Consequently, it brings people closer together, enriching both our personal and professional lives. 

I firmly believe that customized lessons are the key to effective learning. That is why I exclusively offer one-to-one lessons for adults, ensuring that we can delve into topics that genuinely captivate your interest.

Throughout our classes, you will receive personalised feedback to optimise your progress. Together, we will employ an interactive platform, allowing us to write in real-time and complete exercises during the lesson. Following each session, you will have the opportunity to download materials containing pertinent corrections, texts, and detailed notes on grammar and pronunciation. Moreover, I will equip you with strategies and resources to facilitate self-study and continuous learning at your own pace.

Prepare yourself for dynamic lessons designed to foster independence and proficiency in language acquisition. We will focus on developing all four fundamental language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Furthermore, I will teach you idiomatic expressions and cultivate cultural awareness that will prove invaluable when travelling or engaging with native speakers.

At the conclusion of each lesson, you will receive a comprehensive report encompassing discussion notes, error corrections, and clear guidance on how to progress and maintain your knowledge. Your lessons will revolve around your unique needs and challenges.

If you aspire to enhance your language abilities and acquire effective study techniques tailored to your individual goals, do not hesitate to book a lesson now. Together, we will establish the foundations for building language skills that truly resonate with you.

Hi! I’m Adelle, a Black Brazilian teacher from Rio de Janeiro, now living in Salvador, Bahia.

I teach Brazilian Portuguese with a focus on the African diaspora. I’m interested in helping people connect with Brazil through the language, but also through its history, culture, and everyday life.

I have a Master’s degree in Social History from UFRJ and I’m currently completing my training in Portuguese as a Foreign Language at UFBA.

My classes are conversational and practical. We talk about real life, use authentic materials, and work on the Portuguese you actually want and need to use.

✔️ Bachelor's Degree in Languages (Portuguese/English)

✔️ Master's student in Applied Linguistics at the University of Birmingham

✔️ Native Portuguese speaker with a common accent

✔️ Advanced English

✔️ 3 years of experience teaching languages

To communicate authentically with people from other countries, it's essential to go beyond grammar and learn to speak the language naturally.

Even though my teaching method is guided by textbooks, I'm not a rigid teacher who teaches the kind of boring grammar you learned in school. I talk to my students in a friendly way and adapt the content to what you really need and want.

Initially, I will observe your progress calmly to learn what your strengths and weaknesses are. After that, we will advance at your pace, with homework that doesn't overwhelm you.

Yes, I use the language we have in common to help me explain more difficult topics. But don't think of this as something that will delay your learning, because we'll have conversation time from the very first lesson! So you can bring up topics for chitchat whenever you want. I myself like to talk about: history, shows, movies, music, books, and things that happen in everyday life.
