Hello! I am Gabriel Pinnola. I am from Brazil and I am also an Italian. I moved as a young boy to the U.S.A where I learned to speak English as a child. I had the chance of learning both my mother tongue and English as a native speaker would and this sparked my interest in working as a language teacher. When I graduated High School, I needed an occupation that allowed me to pay for my Law school tuition and it was then that I started working as an English teacher. Initially, it was just a means to an end, but I fell in love with the occupation and I still love to teaching every chance I get. It is this appreciation and respect for the language and all the marvelous people I have had the privilege of knowing through teaching that keeps the flame lit. Teaching gives me purpose.

As a native from Brazil, I love teaching and sharing my culture to everyone interested. Learning a language should not just be about learning cold grammar, the culture behind it is important too! I love to teach in innovative and dynamic ways incorporating games, visual and auditive entertainment, Brazilian current event newspapers and magazines, recipes, and much more! As my tutoring experience has taught me to do, I tailor the way I teach my classes to each of my students. There is no one-size-fits-all in language learning, so rest assured I care about you and your progress personally and we will have a fun time learning all about portuguese!

Hello! Ola! Hola If you would like to learn some Portuguese and Spanish feel free to be in touch! My teaching is approach is personalized and it will depend on the need of the student. Let’s have fun!

From science to language, I have always enjoyed deeply investigating a subject. I met my Brazilian wife speaking Portuguese, and am now teaching her English in Brazil. Let my courage inspire yours!

I am a very dynamic and creative teacher who has great expertise in teaching children and adults with more than twenty years of experience. My methodology helps students to learn Portuguese in a fun and interactive way. I have a degree in Linguistics Studies and also in Business & Administration.

An ability to speak four different languages (Portuguese, Spanish, French and English) has allowed me to develop strong communication skills and a diverse background has grown me to become a unique and dynamic character. I enjoy working as part of a team but I am also confident in using my own initiative to come up with creative and innovative solutions. I consider myself a hardworking, patient and well-mannered person with a positive attitude given any circumstance. I am challenge driven and will always aim to exceed expectations. I am determined to pursue a career in the health and fitness industry and teaching and supporting in schools.

Hello everybody! Ciao a tutti! My name is Giulia, I come from Italy and I am really easy-going, not too strict when it comes to grammar rules and all that famously boring part of language learning... My tricks and secrets rely on the fact that I have been a student not so long ago and I know what the struggles might be. My idea is therefore to let you, as my student, know my language (Italian language) and culture step by step and in a very outgoing way. We are going to listen to music, watch some movies, comment on them, and reflects on grammar, of course, but pragmatics of my language too. At least, this is what I did with my former Italian language students in a college in the USA, and I believe my students loved it. And if they didn’t, their results were brilliant!!

Hi! I'm a native portuguese teacher, 25y. I have a degree in portuguese literature, linguistics and culture and also a master's degree to teach portuguese as a second language. During my master's degree i had the opportunity to teach in the university of A Coruna (Galicia, Spain) as a trainee and I really loved it. Even before I defended my thesis, I started to work in a School for Foreigners in Portugal and I'm still working there, with adults from everywhere, mostly teaching from level A1 to B2 (presencial and online classes). In my classes, the priority is conversation, to be able to talk from the beginning, but always according to the student(s) needs. Usually, my students see me like a friend from school, and that's my favorite part of the job. Hope you can do it too, soon!

Oi. Sou nativa brasileira I teach Portuguese. Ensino Inglês.

Hello! I'm Magda Dias and I'm a Portuguese (from Portugal) teacher. I've always had a lot of interest in languages and loved to share my culture with foreigners who were interested in learning my culture. That's how I ended up taking teaching Portuguese as a second language and foreign-language as a real job. If you want to learn Portuguese, you need to know that because my classes are conversational I won't be using any language except Portuguese. I wanna make you someone that can communicate with a native Portuguese person and not a Portuguese grammar memorization machine. Aside from the language, you'll also learn about certain aspects of our culture that you might not be aware of. See you soon!

My name is Marina Carvalho and I consider myself a language enthusiastic. I studied Chinese for four years in University and besides being super challenging, it made me even more interested in language learning. I spent one year in Beijing,China due to my University programe and while I was there, I gave English classes to chinese kids from 7 to 11 years old. It was an incredible experience that got me thinking about not only the translation/interpretation area, but also the teaching one (also to teach Chinese). After finishing my BA, I signed up for a 120 hours TEFL (Teach English as a Foreign Language) Masters Certificate, which I finished in December 2020. I hope you can give me the amazing oportunity of helping you in improving your English level while having loads of fun !

Some teachers have the perception that teaching Portuguese conversation involves just “talking” to the students. Free-talking does have a role in helping students learn Portuguese. However, it shouldn’t be the only thing we do in our Portuguese conversation classes. There is far more to Portuguese conversation than just free-talking. In my first year of teaching, I was given a “free-talking” class with school students. The students wanted to just hang out and speak in Portuguese. After a couple weeks of this, I felt like nobody was actually learning anything! The students were just making the same mistakes, over and over again. I introduced structure, some new grammar and vocabulary and found that the class went much more smoothly. The students improved their Portuguese skills.

Hello there :) I'm 33, originally from Brazil, born and raise there until my 16 years old. My Grand parents are Japanese so, luckily I had the opportunity to move to Japan. Live there for another half of my life. Even thought my heritage is Japanese I never studied any Japanese language, only Brazilian Portuguese. For being a linguist enthusiast and also to understand my roots better I decided to study and self-thought Japanese to a level that I consider a native level in the speaker matter. Now about writing and reading I don't consider my self fluent, but with a vast knowledge of the Alphabet. Because Japan is one of the most multi-culture and diversity countries in Asia, so I end up studying English as well. I'm looking forward to this new experience. Thank you all
