Languages provide a unique way to express oneself, relate to culture and enlighten different world perspectives. I have a strong zeal for language education, and speak Portuguese, French, and English fluently, understand Spanish and I am now learning German. I have lived in four different countries and this has been an exciting and challenging experience to immerse myself in new cultures and languages. I have also developed and learnt different techniques to increase the efficiency of my language learning skills and I am keen to share this with students.
At University, I specialised in Neuroeducation, where I learnt various methods and techniques to understand how the brain learns best and how to teach languages effectively. For years, I’ve been applying this knowledge in my training and tutoring sessions for students across the world. I seek to enhance my students’ learning experience with native and niche Portuguese expressions complemented with an insight into the Portuguese culture!
First and foremost, I listen carefully to students’ requests and assess their favourable learning method to achieve their goals! I evaluate each student's level and assess what their difficulties are and then provide the material, methods and techniques that are needed for students to succeed! However, what I find especially important is paying attention to students' interests and motivations, to make learning fun and ensure they get the most out of this beautiful language.

Hello! I'm Priscila. I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro🌞. I have a degree in Language Arts (Portuguese and English). Besides, I'm a CELTA-certified teacher: a worldwide recognized qualification for English teachers. My studies and reserch on Brazilian culture enable me to discuss different topics related to Brazil, especially Afro Brazilian culture and its influences.
Me as a Teacher
I consider your goals, personality, interests, and priorities to provide you with the best learning strategies. I use materials in the lessons, so the use of a computer* during the class is very important. 📝Note: I recommend using a computer to optimize your experience in the classes, especially if you are a beginner.
My lessons & teaching style
I use different materials, resources, and strategies in my lessons. So we can have informal conversations or something more structured. Anyway, I put great care into my work to give you the tools to move forward. Once you take lessons with me, you will:
📌Boost your vocabulary and communication skills;
📌Learn at your pace;
📌Have individual approach and feedback;
📌Have tailored material;

My classes are perfect for you if you meet at least one of the options below:
-if you speak English or any Romance language (Spanish, Romanian, Italian, etc);
-if you want to learn Brazilian Portuguese for fun;
-if you are going to travel or move to a Portuguese-speaking country (which speaks Portuguese);

During our classes and as homework, we will use interesting subjects to train the following skills: reading, writing, listening, speaking and intercomprehension.
Brazilian Portuguese is easier than you think!
See Reviews From StudentsThere are several options for learning Portuguese in Derry, whether you live in the city center or the suburbs. You can use an app or software program to learn basic vocabulary and grammar. You can also join group lessons with Portuguese tutors in Derry if you prefer a social learning experience. Alternatively, you can take one-on-one lessons with a private tutor, which is more expensive but may be the most effective option if you have a good tutor. Learning online may make private tutors a more affordable choice. Prices vary based on the tutor, but are generally cheaper than in-person lessons in Derry.
Sometimes students tell us that they're not sure about learning Portuguese online because they think it’ll be completely different to learning face-to-face. But usually when they try it, they find that the experience is almost the same and they often build a solid relationship with their tutor.
Once you start a video call with your chosen tutor, you’ll be able to communicate with them as if you were in the same room. The tutor will typically also share learning resources with you (newspaper articles, YouTube, etc.) and you’ll be able to collaborate in real-time using a tool like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper.
