Finding Portuguese classes in Wollongong that are both effective and affordable can be tricky. Classes are typically in groups, meaning you have limited opportunities to speak. On top of this, you’ll often find certain students dominate the conversation, or ask the teacher endless questions!
LanguaTalk offers a more convenient and effective alternative: 1-on-1 online Portuguese classes with experienced native tutors. You won’t find these tutors available for face-to-face Portuguese lessons in Wollongong. LanguaTalk finds the best tutors from around the world. They offer conversational Portuguese classes at cheaper rates because they don’t have to travel to you and they often live in countries with a lower cost of living.
Probably you’re thinking: but are online classes really as effective as face-to-face? You can book a no obligation 30-minute trial session (for free with most tutors) and see for yourself. Classes take place via video call, allowing you to communicate with your tutor and share learning materials, as if you were in the same room. And you can book classes for whenever it suits you.
Below, you can filter to tutors who have availability that fits with your Wollongong time zone. Then watch videos, check reviews, and book a trial session.

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

I’m an expert in diction and pronunciation.
My goal is to help build trust in people who want to learn Portuguese. My experience as a teacher has already allowed me to connect with students from all continents. This is a unique capital of knowledge and culture. Understanding people and their needs are fundamental to the teaching process.

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!

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.

While some teachers on LanguaTalk may offer in-person conversational classes in their local area, the majority specialize in online teaching. This approach is more convenient for them, allowing flexibility and the comfort of working from home. Most teachers are not based in Wollongong and are spread across the globe, so if you're looking for a class with LanguaTalk, you should anticipate an online learning experience.
Whilst not always the case, Portuguese classes in Wollongong are typically more expensive than online learning options. This is due to the costs associated with using a classroom, as well as travel time and expenses for teachers. Online classes, on the other hand, eliminate these overheads. Additionally, online instructors often live in countries with lower living costs, which can further reduce the price of online classes.
Many students initially have reservations about participating in online Portuguese classes, thinking the experience will be vastly different from in-person classes. However, they often discover that online classes can be just as engaging and effective. In an online Portuguese class, you’ll interact with your teacher and classmates as if you were all in the same room. The teacher may share resources (like articles or videos) and will collaborate with you in real-time using tools like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper, ensuring an interactive learning environment. The biggest benefit is convenience: there is no need to travel, and you can book lessons for when it suits you.
If you prefer in-person learning over online classes, LanguaTalk might not be the best fit for your needs. For local classes, you can search through community boards or local service listing websites. However, we encourage you to explore the convenience and effectiveness of online classes. You can start with a free trial session to experience the benefits first-hand, such as access to a broader range of experienced teachers and potentially lower costs.
The beauty of taking lessons online is that you can learn anytime, anywhere. When you choose a tutor, just check their calendar to make sure that they have available times that fit your schedule. Some tutor have limited availability as they already have a lot of students.
The vast majority of students take 55-minute lessons. But some tutors also provide the option of 30-minute lessons. If they do, you’ll see this noted on their profile (below their pricing and above the ‘Buy Lessons’ button).
55-minute lessons are recommended for most students. In general, we only suggest considering 30-minute lessons if they’re for your child, or you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice.
New to LanguaTalk? We'll give you a credit for a free trial session. Many, but not all, tutor offer these for free. If they do not, the price will be just 30 percent of their full lesson price, so you can still try a session at minimal cost.
Trial sessions last 30 minutes. They allow you to assess whether the tutor is a good fit for you, and get a feel for learning online. The tutor will assess your level and aim to understand your needs and interests so that they can customise any lessons you decide to take. You'll be encouraged to speak in Portuguese as much as possible, but of course you can speak in English too!
If, after your trial session, you don't feel that the tutor is quite right for you, you can book a trial with another tutor for just 30 percent of their full lesson price.
Lessons are taught 1-on-1 so that you receive your tutor’s full attention and can make fast progress. Communicating via video call, you’ll be able to talk to your tutor and share learning materials as if you were in the same room.
The tutors vary in terms of their teaching methods, resources, experiences, and personalities. So we suggest you look at several profiles to choose the best tutor for you. Whichever Portuguese tutor you pick, they'll aim to tailor the lessons to your individual needs.
On LanguaTalk, you can find exceptional tutors for 1-on-1 Portuguese lessons tailored to your goals and learning preferences. Here’s how to try it for yourself:
