Portuguese classes in Waterford: Try a class for free

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 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.

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.

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!

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 7 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.

Olá!

My name is Micaela, I'm 30 years old and I'm from the Azores, Portugal :)  I am here to make you have a good time while learning Portuguese.

All materials are provided for free, like books, PDFs, exercises etc. I like to immerse my students in the Portuguese culture as much as possible, using music, sending articles for homework etc.

If you have a kid or more, don't worry anymore. I love to work with children as well, and I have the experience and the material for a great kid-friendly lesson. 

I use TPR teaching Techniques and other methodologies.

Teaching Portuguese as a second language to students online and face-to-face for 5 years +, so I believe I have the experience and the results to make you achieve your goals.

I consider myself a polite and fun individual that you would probably enjoy talking X) 

Book our first lesson NOW and let the fun begin!

I am looking forward to seeing you!

Best regards,

Micaela
