Learning a language face-to-face with a tutor can be a fantastic experience. But if you're unable to find an affordable private Portuguese tutor in Tokyo, you may want to consider learning online. To learn with a Portuguese tutor near you in Tokyo, you'll have to either travel to the tutor's home, or pay more to cover their travel time; the average cost of receiving private Portuguese lessons in Tokyo is over $20 per hour. Not only does learning online save travel costs, but you gain access to the best tutors from all over the world.
Whilst students sometimes prefer learning in person, the vast majority of students report being pleasantly surprised by the experience of learning with a tutor online. On LanguaTalk, lessons are taught 1-on-1 so that you receive your tutor’s full attention and can progress quickly. Lessons are taught via video call, allowing you to communicate with your tutor and share learning materials. You'll feel like you're in the same room with your tutor. Book a trial session and see if you agree!
Below you can watch Portuguese tutor's intro videos, check their availability and read reviews from their students. When you open a profile, you'll also see which learning needs, ages and levels the tutor is comfortable with.
New to LanguaTalk? When you create an account, you'll be given a token for a free, 30-minute trial session. Use this to get to know your chosen tutor and to decide whether you wish to take lessons with them or to instead try to find a Portuguese tutor in Tokyo. (Please note: not all tutors offer a trial session for free - some charge 30% of their standard full lesson price.)

Hello, I'm Edite and I am Portuguese.
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.
I have a degree in social communication and a post-graduation in the same area. I’m also a graduated artist with a special taste for collage and digital art.
I have been working in communication, consulting and training for over 30 years. I worked with the Portuguese government and other higher organs of sovereignty for many years. My experience gives me excellent business knowledge of trades.
I also have experience as a trainer in Portuguese. I was a trainer in communication, media training and ethics and compliance. I’m versatile, proactive, creative, calm, and easy to get along with.
I love to know people, other contexts and countries and I’m especially suited to teach adults at levels A2 and B1 and B2.
My performance as a teacher
I am an expert in diction, communication, how to speak well in public and also in media training. I adapt to the student’s interests, creating, in collaboration with them, an environment favourable to study and motivation for learning. I also design a study plan appropriate to the intended objectives.
My classes and teaching style
I like to contextualize the examples using materials that I develop according to the student’s needs: Yes! I do many times customized exercises to match the needs of the student.

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.

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!

Some students might be unsure about learning Portuguese online because they think it will be very different from in-person learning. However, many students find that the online experience is similar and they often develop strong relationships with their tutor.
Once you start a video call with your selected tutor, you'll be able to communicate with them as if you were in the same room. The tutor may also share learning resources with you (such as newspaper articles or YouTube videos) and you'll be able to collaborate in real-time using tools like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper.
Some tutors on LanguaTalk may also provide in-person lessons in Tokyo, but most only offer online lessons as it is more convenient and allows them to work from home. Additionally, most tutors are not located in Tokyo because they are living elsewhere in the world. If you book a lesson with a tutor, you should assume that the lesson will be conducted online.
If you prefer in-person lessons over online learning, LanguaTalk may not be the best fit for you. Instead, you can search for a tutor on a local service listing website or place an advertisement in your area. However, we do encourage you to try online learning – you have nothing to lose by booking a free trial session. Many students find that the online experience is just as good as in-person learning, with the added benefit of access to higher quality tutors at a lower cost.
Our research suggests that the average hourly rate for private Portuguese lessons in Tokyo is between $25-$35. Since online tutors don't have to travel to you and often live in countries with a lower cost of living, their hourly rate tends to be significantly lower.
Most students take 55-minute lessons. However, some tutors also offer the option of 30-minute lessons. If this option is available, it will be noted on the tutor's profile (below their pricing and above the 'Buy Lessons' button).
In general, 55-minute lessons are recommended for most students. 30-minute lessons may be suitable if you're taking lessons for your child or if you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice.
LanguaTalk offers personalized 1-on-1 Portuguese lessons with top-rated tutors. Here's how to get started:
1 - Find a tutor that meets your needs by reviewing their videos, reviews, pricing, and availability.
2 - Book a trial lesson. Many tutors offer a free 30-minute trial, while others offer a discounted trial price.
3 - Have personalized lessons with your chosen tutor via video call. Or try a different tutor if desired.
You don't need to provide credit card information to book a free trial session. Please only book a trial if you're seriously considering taking lessons. Tutor prices vary, and you can use the filter to find one that fits your budget. You can pay for individual lessons or purchase a package for a discount (view a tutor's pricing options on their profile).
We're confident you'll enjoy learning on LanguaTalk. Our platform is trusted by students worldwide because of our transparency. We ask students to rate each lesson, and we display these ratings on tutor profiles.
99.8% of lesson ratings are 5 stars. This is because we only accept the top 10% of tutor applications, unlike other platforms.

Lessons are taught one-on-one to ensure that you receive customized instruction. During the lessons, your tutor will use a variety of teaching methods and resources, including language exercises, conversation practice, and cultural notes, to help you reach your learning objectives.
All lessons take place via video call. Your tutor will normally give you a choice of calling tools, all of which are easy to use.
If you're new to LanguaTalk, we'll provide you with a credit for a free trial session. Many, but not all, tutors offer these for free. If a tutor does not offer a free trial, the trial price will be 30 percent of their full lesson price, allowing you to still try a session at a reduced cost.
Trial sessions last 30 minutes. They allow you to determine if the tutor is a good fit for you and get a sense of what online learning is like. The tutor will assess your level and try to understand your needs and interests so that they can tailor any lessons you choose to take. You'll be encouraged to speak as much as possible in Portuguese, but you can also speak in English if needed.
If, after your trial session, you don't feel that the tutor is right for you, you can book a trial with another tutor for 30 percent of their full lesson price.
One of the benefits of online lessons is that you can learn anytime, anywhere. When you choose a tutor, simply check their calendar to ensure that they have times that fit your schedule. Some tutors may have limited availability due to high demand.
