When I start classes with a new student, I first try to find out what their goals are in learning Portuguese. Classes are taught in this sense, focusing on grammar, idioms, accent, using games, articles or videos, for example. Due to my experience I am sure that regardless of the level, age and objectives of each student, I am able to captivate and develop in the student the taste for learning a new language.

My name is Eduardo and I am an Brazilian expat living in the UK. I love to chat and to learn new languages. I do have a deep knowledge of Brazilian Portuguese and I can prepare you to take the Celpe or any other certification you might want to have. But I am also a very friendly person and you can most certainly know you'll have a great time during your lessons. If you want to be fluent in Portuguese earlier than you might expect, please pop me a message. Have a great day! Abraços, Eduardo

When I teach Portuguese I always tell my students to forget their main language and try to think in Portuguese. We will try to speak in Portuguese, even if the conversation is difficult for you because I argue that the best way to learn is with the need to express ourselves. Lesson after lesson, you will feel your Portuguese better. Try a lesson and you will never want to stop.

My name is Pamela and I enjoy teaching very much. I have teaching and translation experience working in Brazil and in the USA. I have a Bachelor´s degree in Arts, majoring in Translation and Teaching Portuguese and English as a Second Language. In addition, I have graduated in Business Administration from Rider University. I am looking forward to helping you improve your learning experience and achieve your goals.

Since before graduation, I worked as a teacher of Portuguese and Literature for elementary and high school students. I was also part of a didactic initiation project that aimed to bring students into the journalistic format of communication, thus bringing the newspaper to the classroom. I had the great honor of working for a research and technology institute that produces didactic material for a digital platform that was applied in public schools in needy regions in Northeast Brazil. It is in the performing arts that I have my greatest affection and interest, in addition to learning new languages and being in touch with different cultures.

Hello, my name is Sandra Aceves, I’m Latina from Mexico. I’ve a certificated of Languages and I know Spanish (my first language), French (certificates with a DELF B2), English, Portuguese and Russian. When a I teach some language, I use the different methods and strategies to teach. Nowadays I’m a professor of Linguistics and Phonetics, French like a second language in different universities. I focus in linguistic skills, communication skills, grammar and Expressions. During the process, I like to work with activities and fun classes. I have two years of experience and I did an academic exchange to learn the French. If you want to learn with a fun way, you’re in the correct profile, have a nice day!

I have been working as an English teacher in Brazil for the past 11 years, and now I teach Portuguese as a Heritage Language in London, England. I love being in contact with new cultures and teaching languages. I like to use authentic material (what is the social media and news) and to take into account the student’s cultural background and topics of interest. I love reading, swimming, cinema, animals and literature! I have a degree in Languages and Literature and Just finished my Post Graduation studies on Bilingual Education. I have experience with children, adults who studied languages for business and also as a volunteer teaching refugees who move to a different country to start a new life.

I believe in tying language learning by means of personal interests. Whereas that might be a difficult task to do for real beginners, it should gradually be applied. At the same time, the student is the customer, which means that I will cater to their wishes and needs. Ideally, we would only use the target language, but since that could be frustrating and ineffective at times, the use of a secondary language can be of help. However, learning of vocabulary and the comprehension of situations should be contextual. Over the years, I have built on techniques that seek to explain words without much explanation, e.g. by the use of examples, synonyms, etc. Due to my interest and expertise in Intercultural Communication, I pay close attention to my students' "background culture".

Teaching is one of my greatest passions. I taught English as a second language in Brazil, at a language school, and I could not be happier. I also had some Portuguese freelance teaching. My techniques do not include translation, as I believe to learn a new language you need to start thinking in it to achieve fluency - that is how I learnt English, and that is how I teach. I also believe learning has to be fun, so my classes are never boring or uninteresting. My students usually say I am funny, creative, excited, and caring. If you ask any of them (and I had hundreds!), they will always say I was the best teacher they have ever had. So come along and let's start having fun!

My name is Julia Galletti (26yo) I currently live in Spanaway. Trilingual (Portuguese, English and Spanish) professional with 5+ years of education and childcare experience developing and deploying educational planning and classroom instructional techniques to support students’ growth and development. Excellent communication, collaboration, mentoring, organization, relationship building, interpersonal, and didactic teaching skills.

My greatest inspirations for teaching are my pupils. Of all the gifts that I could give them, it is the proficient ability to understand and communicate with others. My first experience as a Spanish teacher was working with Brazilian children. It was an eyes-opening because of the sense of accomplishment watching their interest and engagement in the subject; which explain the reason I decided to become a qualified teacher. I also believe that being a native Spanish - Portuguese speaker and experienced teacher makes me exceptionally well-qualified to prepare students to successfully achieve their goals.

Brazilian native with experience in the accounting sector. I hope I can help you with your learning of the language and culture of Brazil

Hello! I was born in the US, but I grew up in Brazil. I also grew up in a family of teachers, and soon after I graduated High School, I got my first teaching job. And I haven't stopped teaching ever since :) The thing about learning a new language is that it needs to be fun. Not funny "haha", but it needs to be enjoyable, and you as a student have to like coming to class. That's where I come in. I combine more traiditional methods (like grammar exercises, reading and interpretation) with more up-to-date and dynamic techniques, using novel technologies. We need to take advantage of online classes, right? At the end of the day, I'm passionate about making your learning experience special :)
