Portuguese classes for all ages: Discover the language of Camões.

From 54.99 C$ /h

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.

About Me

I'm a professional musician, having studied organ and harpsichord in Amsterdam and Hamburg.
I came to the Netherlands in 2016 looking for a high-quality Higher Education in Musical performance, which I have found indeed.
In these last years, I've maintained close contact with Portuguese culture, through my frequent travels back home in Portugal, in a village near Porto, through my manny Portuguese friends and colleagues here, and through my own background, habits, and traditions.
At the same time, I've grown fond of Dutch culture, gaining interest if the History of the Netherlands, and learning the language.
I have always had a great interest and passion for History, Language, Literature, Ethnography and Gastronomy, and, of course, Music, with a natural proclivity for my native land, Portugal. I hope to share this passion with as many people as possible.

Hey there! Get ready to jump into the world of Italian with me – Roberta- your go-to person for Italian language (yes, including hand gestures!)

I have a background in diplomacy and international relations but a deep love for communications and languages.
My classes are tailored to your needs.
We do an assessment during the first chat and then we choose together the right method: classes with a mix of audio, and video lessons and or just a lot of conversation covering phrases, vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar. And guess what? It's not just learning; if you come to my house it's a blast through Italian food too! :)

By the end, you'll be rocking phrases like "Supercalifragilistichespiralidoso" and tossing around Italian words like a pro.
🎉 Ci vediamo presto!

I specialise in English (British & American) tuition for native and non-native speakers of all ages, and have experience working with:
• young children learning English for the first time
• primary- and secondary-school students studying the English language and its literatures
• adult professionals and seniors wishing to improve their language skills, or develop pronunciation or presentational skills

I have two degrees in English language and literature (B.A. and Mst) from the University of Oxford, and I am also a graduate of the International Baccalaureate (I.B.) Diploma program. I've developed a creative approach in my sessions with students that involves applying a student's particular talents and interests (regardless of subject) in the process of language acquisition, along with the simultaneous development of critical skills like close and careful reading, argumentation, written style, and effective communication.

I am versed in the requirements and intricacies of a range of national and international diploma programs. When working with students supplementing an academic syllabus, my goal is always to position them to succeed in the assignments and assessments laid out by a primary instructor.

English has become the Lingua Franca of our times. It's a valuable skill to possess, beneficial for everyone. It comes handy in the ever-developing world that we live in and opens doors to many places, also in the mind. Additionally, bilingualism enhances the cognitive skills.

Whether you'd like to improve your speaking skills and break the language barrier or you wish to prepare better for an English exam, I come to an aid.

In 2023, I've obtained a Master degree in Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam. I've achieved the C1+ levels in English, on the CEFR scale. I have 2 years of experience living in London, where I acquired RP (received pronunciation) and 7 years of experience in the International Academia (Amsterdam). My linguistic background gives me the capacity to explain the sounds and various processes of the language, from a perspective many natives do not know. In teaching, I practice the holistic approach. It is my belief that language is for people of every age and education, but I'm aware that everyone deserves a personal approach. In the first session, we always do a needs analysis and become acquainted, to make sure we click as people and will enjoy working away at your personal language goals.

Over the years, my classes, have proven to raise the confidence levels of students. We practice knowledge in English, on 4 levels of proficiency: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing.

I will focus on your strengths and guide you to how to use those to your advantage in learning. We will elicit your potential. With a little help, I am sure you will achieve the goals you set for yourself.

Hello everyone! I hold a doctorate in Italian, have been teaching Italian for 5 years and hold a CELTA teaching qualification. I've been preparing students for the A-Levels and GCSE (language + literature). I can prepare you for specific examinations, language lessons in general or teach you Italian for business. The lessons are for everyone, whatever their age or level (children to adults). I will make sure that you discover the Italian culture through the lessons, learn the correct pronunciation and of course learn some grammar. I am open to your needs and can speak a few languages to make sure you understand fully the lessons (of course, we’ll try to use mostly Italian in all our lessons depending on your level).

I can’t wait to meet my new students! 😊

Regardless of the material, I can break it down into easily understood concepts. I know that i can make a positive impact on a students and their learning.

Are you moving to Portugal and want your kid to learn a bit before moving there?
Are you Portuguese native speakers who are living abroad and want to understand how your child is developing?
Is one of the parents of your child a Portuguese native speaker?
Do you want a babysitter who can teach your child a language in the meantime?
Is your child transitioning from an international school to one with a Portuguese curriculum?

These are only some of the few encounters I’ve had in the past with kids who learned Portuguese language in a fun and engaging way. If your kid talks PT/EN/FR/NL/SP I can speak with them.

My strongest suit as a teacher is patience and I can connect to children quite easily (maybe because my mum is a kindergarten teacher). I know how hard it is to hold a kid’s attention for long stretches of time. Thus I try to turn the classroom into a playground and make it as interactive as possible. The focus will be to learn vocabulary as opposed to writing complex sentences, depending on your child’s proficiency of the language.

My method is super flexible and I adjust it to every student. I usually share my screen and make use of audiovisual material such as books, songs, videos and games. The latter seems to have the most success so far as we cheerfully shout Portuguese vocabulary such as animals, numbers, letters, colors etc.

Knowledge of Italian is useful in and of itself; but it is also essential for the study of other fields like history, literature, music, art, business, economics, and political science. So, whether you want to learn how to order your own "gelato" in Rome, improve your knowledge of Italian grammar, or broaden your horizons through study and analysis of literature, by exposing yourself to a different culture, this is the course for you!

In class, we will speak Italian as much as possible to help you develop your speaking skills – obviously paying attention to correct grammar and vocabulary. I will speak Italian as much as possible – even from the very beginning – and encourage you to do the same.
Every class is targeted to the student's goals, which are discussed with me during our first introductory lesson.
Students can bring their own material, in case they need help preparing for a test or exam; alternatively I will provide learning material (digital or hard copy) based on the student's needs.
