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! 😊 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!
