This class is for everyone who wants to learn portuguese.
My goal is to provide the best tutoring experience and to teach you what you want to learn or need to know. In order to do that I will personnaly tailor the class to the needs of the student, be it on a beginner, intermediate or advanced level and we can cover a variety of aspects depending on your goals (from technical vocabulary to portuguese literary analysis).
I assign homework every other week and I will provide periodic progress and evaluation reports.

I’m a native Brazilian that would love to teach you Portuguese in a fun and informal matter but focusing mostly on conversation.
Many language’s schools focus on the formal spoken Portuguese and when it comes to Brazilian Portuguese the formal form is not used that much.
I want to help you to understand the language, the culture, the music, the food and all that you wish to know about Brazil.
I am from São Paulo, a really big and multicultural city, and have been traveling around the world since I am little. Thus, I can help you understand Brazilian’s behaviors and traditions compared to other places in the world.
Let’s have a great time together and learn this beautiful language!

If you need to start from scratch, work on your grammar or would rather have conversation lessons, I'm here to help you.
I am passionate about facilitating productive cross-cultural understanding. Therefore, it would be a pleasure to teach you about Brazil's culture and give you Rio tips in case you are travelling there soon.
In case you are curious, my favorite approaches/methods are the Communicative Approach and Audio lingual method.
I also teach online via Skype or Zoom.

De echte Portugese ervaring!

Advantages of learning a new language:

Learning a new language is fun. But what I’m (and you should be) after is not bilingualism but instead biculturalism. We think by aid of words. Therefore language shapes thought. In part this is because working in a second language slows down the thinking. No wonder people feel different when speaking a second language. And no wonder they feel looser, more spontaneous, perhaps more assertive or funnier or blunter.
Studies show that being able to speak another language is generally linked to a more flexible brain, developing the brain’s ability to plan and prioritize. Also it betters our defenses against dementia in old age.

Advantages of learning Portuguese:

• 250 million native speakers worldwide
• 5th most common language in the world
• It has been an official language since 1297
• It’s usage is spread over 4 continents (Europe, South America, Africa, Asia)

Now business,

For the past 5 years I've had more than 50 students and based on experience I recommend the following lesson duration (minutes):
Age gap 0-6 | 7-12 | 13-17 | 18-45 | 45-64 | 65+
Duration 30 | 30-45 | 45-60 | 60 | 60-45 | 45-30

Focus on diverse subjects is possible, for example, grammar, diction, reading comprehension, written production, conversational skills. Because the goal of most students is the ability to communicate, I’ve been developing my classes that way. I have acquired extra audio media specially for you :) to hear Portuguese being spoken at a different pace, accent and voice tone.

My method is based on a book (that I myself bring to the class and the student doesn’t need to acquire) which I'm fairly familiar by now. But what I really like is to talk to the student. So the book will be used to present the gramatical structure of the language while also serving as an inspiration platform for conversation topics.
Periodically we will evaluate how the classes are evolving so as to rapidly and effectively shift focus to where it is needed.

First of all let me introduce myself, Im Felipe a recent Law graduate in Spain and Brazil that just moved to the Netherlands to follow my studies. I enrolled in a international trade masters at UvA and will love to teach languages on my spare time. I have no knowledge of dutch so far but I guess that wont be much of a problem, we could communicate in english.

Regarding the expertise and background in these two languages, Spanish is my mother tongue and I have spent 2 years -as an university exchange student - in Portuguese speaking countries ( Portugal and Brazil).My teaching methodology can adapt to the pupil, from just general conversation to a more certificate preparation approach.

Lessons could be online or I could give them at your place (I live just 10 km outside amsterdam).

¡Hasta pronto!

These classes aim at people who want to develop their Portugueses skills, both from scratch with some previous knowledge. The pedagogical structure is adaptable to the situation; school-aged children with Portuguese parent(s) who don't always have the time and opportunity to teach them, adults who need practical advice and relatively quick skill training because of a Portuguese-speaking partner, friend, traveling, etc...
Students are always encouraged to develop their interest in the Portuguese language.

Both Brazilian and European Portuguese. We will start with the basic grammar of the Portuguese language. Depending on the pace and experience of the student, conversation will gradually take place in Portuguese. You will receive useful and practical tips to make learning the language even more fun.
