PhD Language Expert for Portuguese, Spanish & English Lessons (All Levels)

PhD Language Expert for Portuguese, Spanish & English Lessons (All Levels)

Aló / Hola / Hey! I’m Ryan — and yes, in Portuguese it sounds like “LION,” just swap the LI for a HI. 😊 I’m a PhD language educator with over a decade of experience teaching Spanish, Portuguese, and Academic English at every level — from absolute beginners to advanced university students and professionals. I earned my Ph.D. in Latin American Literature and Culture from the University of Texas at Austin, one of the leading institutions for language pedagogy in the U.S. Since 2024, I have held a position as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. I’ve taught at major universities including the University of Michigan, University of Texas-Austin, Villanova, and Thomas Jefferson University. My experience includes everything from foundational grammar and conversation courses to advanced writing, medical Spanish, Portuguese for Spanish speakers, and culturally focused seminars on race, media, and society in the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking world. Beyond the classroom, I’ve worked extensively as a professional interpreter and translator in Spanish and Portuguese, supporting migrants, asylum seekers, educators, and public institutions. I’ve also lived and worked across South America and bring real-world cultural experience into every lesson. Whether you're: starting from scratch, preparing for travel, strengthening academic writing, building professional fluency, maintaining a heritage language, or refining advanced grammar and style, I tailor lessons to your goals with clarity, structure, and encouragement. My teaching style is rigorous but relaxed — we work hard, we laugh, and you leave each session feeling more confident than when you arrived. When I’m not teaching, you’ll probably find me biking, rock climbing, birding, or playing guitar. I’d love to help you reach your language goals. Let’s get started! -Ryan

Personalized European Portuguese Lessons with a Bilingual Teacher

Personalized European Portuguese Lessons with a Bilingual Teacher

🎯 Grow fluent and confident in Portuguese with lessons adapted to your goals, level and interests. Real-life use of the language is at the heart of my teaching, so in class we’ll speak Portuguese as much as possible and focus on situations and topics that are useful and meaningful to you. 📚 I mostly work with textbooks, especially if you’re a complete beginner, but I also use materials connected to your interests to help you learn and practise everyday vocabulary and expressions. Here are some other ways we can work together: watching a TV series, reading a book or even writing it, making a podcast... If there is another way you want to work, let’s make it happen! 🧩 When we work on grammar, I’ll encourage you to reflect and notice patterns, so you can understand how Portuguese works through guided discovery rather than simply memorising rules. ✍️ If you’re preparing for the DELE exam, I’ll teach you strategies for each part of the test and we’ll focus especially on speaking and writing. We’ll practise with exam-style tasks and work on the areas you need to improve so you know what to expect and how to approach the exam with confidence. 🗓️ If you’d like to get a better idea of what a class with me is like, contact me to arrange a meeting for free! We’ll talk about your goals, how we can work towards them, and we’ll do a short activity together.

Brazilian Portuguese Lessons with a Native Teacher

Brazilian Portuguese Lessons with a Native Teacher

This class is for anyone who wants to learn or improve their Brazilian Portuguese, whether you are a complete beginner or already have some knowledge of the language. The lessons are adapted to your goals and can focus on conversation, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, writing, or a combination of these. You will learn how to communicate more naturally in Brazilian Portuguese and understand how the language is actually used in everyday situations. If your goal is conversation, we can use topics that interest you to build your vocabulary and speaking confidence. I take notes during our conversations and give you corrections and feedback without constantly interrupting you, so you can speak freely while still learning from your mistakes. If you want to improve your grammar, we will focus on the structures you actually need and how they are used in real Brazilian Portuguese. I also like to explain the difference between textbook Portuguese and the way Brazilians naturally speak. Pronunciation can also be part of our lessons, including sounds that are often challenging for learners, such as the nasal sounds in words like *pão*, *não* and *vão*. The goal is clear and natural communication, rather than trying to eliminate your accent. Every lesson is adapted to your level, interests and learning needs. Whether you are learning Portuguese for travel, work, relationships, studies, or simply because you love the language and Brazilian culture, we can build the lessons around your goals.
