About Me

Hi, Verblingers. I'm Guilherme, a native European Portuguese tutor from Lisbon with 5 years experience teaching, and I'm here to help you learn Portuguese in the funnest way possible.

I've been around English since very early on, so I am at a native-level in it, so we won't have any trouble understanding each other. In fact I'm used to teaching people of all levels, including children using games and music, but in general trying to think outside the box because I always remember that, whenever I was forced to learn something, in school, it was all just memorization, it never stuck. When I had fun however, for example talking with foreign people, watching American cartoons or playing videogames, I learned without effort, without even realizing it.

So that's my approach to teaching, and I've seen the results in my students who always were stuck worrying about saying everything just the right way or otherwise being paralyzed with shame. Now they see they have nothing to worry about, and that it is actually through making mistakes that you truly learn.

European Portuguese is a very interesting language to learn because you can communicate with anyone from Portugal and Brazil, but you can also make yourself easily understood to Spanish speakers.

Whatever it is you need to work on, be it your level of confidence, pronunciation, or advanced grammar, we'll work it out, step by step. Hope to see you soon!
