Are you preparing for an exam? Do you want to improve your Portuguese in everyday life? Maybe you are preparing to visit a Portuguese speaking country? Gain confidence in speaking fluently and freely with me.

Classes will be taught according to your level and prepared exclusively to meet your expectations and goals. I provide all the materials needed for the class.

Acquiring a language is a very interesting process and a lot of people love to learn about culture or history. I like to introduce these subjects to my students for better assimilation of the language. 

A learning environment should be calm but lessons should be fun and interesting, and that is how I like to teach my students.

My name is Suse. I'm from Portugal and I'm currently living in France. I taught Portuguese at a Chinese university for 3 years before returning to Europe. Since then, I teach European-Portuguese online.

If you are interested in learning a language and experiencing a culture join my class!

Oi! Hi! Ciao! My name is José. I lived in Brazil most of my life, in the city of Sao Paulo, and now, after a period in London, I'm living in Turin, Italy. I'm eager to help you learn Portuguese, whether it is for travelling, to speak the language of your loved one, for working or just for fun, no matter what is your level.

From day one, my lessons will be tailored to your goals and interests, to make them engaging and fun and to help you achieve fluency fastly.

I always include bits of culture in our interactions and draw parallels between your knowledge and the culture around the language you are learning, to make the experience richer and to make you feel closer to the native speakers. That is essential!

I also have professional experience in several areas, from hospitality to business consulting, which gave me a lot of flexibility with the language and I will use it to help you improve your vocabulary.

Apart from being a language enthusiast, I am really into music, cooking, and travel. I play the guitar (mainly blues, rock, and bossa nova), I love to cook Brazilian-style barbecue and unknown Italian dishes, and the last places I've been to were Southeast Asian countries on a 5 months trip.

Let's schedule a trial lesson!

Até mais! See you soon! A presto!

Hi there! Do you want to learn Brazilian Portuguese in fun, adapted, historically and culturally based lessons? Follow me! 

My name is Adelle, I'm Brazilian and I'm crazy about languages! I love learning and teaching languages. I am also a historian and I study the cultural and political role of the black Brazilian community.

Hello there!

Welcome to Portuguese classes! 
Learning a new language is about the ability to communicate well; understand what the other person says and be understood. And I'm here for you to become fluent in Portuguese.
I already have a few years of experience and even some students who have moved to Brazil and Portugal. Believe me, they're having a good time there.
The classes will be fun and you won't even see the time go by, you'll learn in a very natural way.

See you soon! Até já! 

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.

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.

I am Brazilian and I currently live in Portugal.

I have lived in the UK and the Netherlands and I love meeting people from other cultures.

I have a Certificate in Teaching Portuguese for Foreigners and and I study Language Sciences at the University of Porto.

My classes are customised to each student's personal objectives. I cover both written and spoken Portuguese in addition to Brazilian Culture.

I can speak English or Spanish during our class to help you if necessary.

Hello Hola Olá!

My name is Micaela, I'm 27 years old and I'm from Azores, Portugal :) Here to make you have a good time while learning Portuguese.

The lessons can be very informal but at the same time structured.

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.

Been teaching Portuguese as a second language to students online and face-to-face for a while now, (+ 2050 hours teaching), 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)

I am looking forward to seeing you!

Micaela
