Portuguese Tutors & Teachers

Olá! My name is Uriã and I was born in Brazil. I have been a language teacher for 3 years and I’ve taught people of all ages. I believe that the best (and fastest) way for someone to learn a new language is by speaking it. So we will do a lot of speaking and repeating. I also prepare my own PDF files for each class. I will send each lesson to the students before the classes, that way it will be easier for them to follow what is being taught, and I am, of course, open to follow other methods of your preference. I've studies languages like: English, French, German, Afrikaans, Spanish, Dutch, and of course, Portuguese, my native language. I own an International Relations Bachelor degree and I am now doing my Master Degree in European Studies in the Netherlands. Book a trial lesson and let me show you how simple Portuguese can be!

I'm Suzan Severo, an English and Portuguese Teacher from Brazil. I have a degree in Languages at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. I'm a specialist in teaching and learning foreign languages processes and I hold a Master's degree in Linguistics. My research was about digital technology applied to teaching and learning foreign languages processes. I've been teaching Portuguese and English as a foreign language for more than 10 years now. My classes are based on the communicative approach but I've worked with different approaches and methodologies so I can easily adapt the lessons accordingly to the learner's necessities and learning style. If you want to speak Portuguese with confidence, I can give you the tools you need which are Grammar, Vocabulary, and Pronunciation. I think it is important to provide engaging contexts for learning the language, so I like to use real-life situations but I also work with songs, videos, humor, and suspense. My students describe me as a considerate, empathetic teacher. I just love learning and teaching languages!

Hello! My name is Bianca Carvalho, I'm from Brazil and I speak Portuguese (native), English (fluent) and Mandarin. My passion for teaching stems from the love of traveling the world and learning new languages! I lived in China for 2 years learning mandarin and teaching English to Chinese children. I've been to the United States multiple times to further understand the English language, and become fully immersed in the culture provided. I speak English fluently and consider it as much a part of me as my native tongue, Portuguese. I would like to help others realize their dreams of becoming fluent in either Portuguese, English, or both! I believe that the best way to learn a language is to be fully immersed in the culture. I try my best to encourage all of my students to watch Brazilian TV shows and soap operas, as well as to try their hand at cooking Brazilian cuisine I adapt to each individual student’s needs: If the student is learning Portuguese to travel, the class will have more of an informal/colloquial feel to it, focusing on rapid basic survival Portuguese. If the student plans to live in Brazil, the class will use PDF books as a base, and also contain exercises and essays about interesting topics (i.e. science, politics, sports, nature, etc. . .). Finally, if the student is interested in Portuguese for business purposes, the focus of the class will be on Economic and Business oriented diction.I have acquired quite the arsenal of stories throughout my journey in the United States, and then later in China. These experiences have made it possible for me to see eye to eye with all of my students, whether they are beginners or Advanced. I love teaching children, but nothing beats seeing an adult who has never learned another language before, conquer that feat and use what I taught them in everyday life! Learning can be a lot of fun as well as a door to new friendship, which I love! :)
