Brazilian Portuguese lessons with bilingual teacher, 8 years of experience!

From 75.01 C$ /h

My name is Nicolas, and I am a Brazilian Portuguese teacher with eight years of teaching experience. I have been speaking Portuguese for about ten years now. I learned the language while living in Brazil for several long periods, both for study and work. I am currently living there again.

Having also gone through the process of learning to speak this language, I am well aware of the different stages my students go through. This helps a lot.

My lessons are tailor-made to achieve personal goals and are adapted to the specific needs of each student.

Practice is prioritized throughout the learning process in order to gain autonomy as quickly as possible. Grammar is also covered, depending on the student's level.

This course is aimed at:
- Beginners (basics, conversation, travel);
- Intermediate/advanced learners (improvement, exam preparation);
- Professionals (business Portuguese, interview preparation).

Currently based in Brazil, I am teaching my classes online. I will be back in Geneva in mid-December for in-person classes.

Please don't hesitate to contact me for more information.

Looking forward to hearing from you :)

About Me

Hello everyone :)

My name is Nicolas. I was born in Geneva and grew up there until I was 25. I went to college at Emilie-Gourd where I obtained my maturity (equivalent to Bach in France). After that I took a year off during which I went to Vancouver to improve my English.

I then did a Bachelor in Geography and Environment at the University of Geneva. For my 3rd year I did an exchange in São Paulo, where I learned Portuguese.

Once I finished my Bachelor, I decided to travel around the world, with no return date. I left in February 2018 for South East Asia and spent 7 months there. In Vietnam I volunteered as an English teacher. It was then that I discovered my passion for teaching! So I followed an online training to obtain the TEFL certificate (Teaching English as a Foreign Language).

In the meantime, I returned to Brazil where I spent 7 months working there as a French and English teacher.

Back in Geneva in April 2019 I gave French lessons to more than twenty students in private, and I also worked as a substitute geography teacher in colleges.

I am now in Lausanne to do a Masters in geography at the University of Lausanne.

I offer much more than just a language course but a real exchange of culture and life experiences.

I am a very social person, calm, patient and communicative. I like challenges and new experiences.

My hobbies are skiing, kitesurfing, music, meditation and of course travel :)

English lessons with an experienced teacher, all levels, 8 years of experience!

75.01 C$ /h

My name is Nicolas, and I'm an English teacher with eight years of teaching experience. I've spoken English since I was a teenager and have continued to practice it through my many travels. My level was further improved during an extended stay in Canada. In 2018, I passed the TEFL Cambridge exam, the English as a Foreign Language Teaching Certificate.

Having also gone through the process of learning to speak this language, I am well aware of the different stages my students go through. This helps considerably.

My courses are custom-built to achieve personal goals and are adapted to the specific needs of each individual.

Practice is prioritized throughout the learning process to foster independence as quickly as possible. Basic grammar and vocabulary concepts are also covered, depending on the student's level.

This course is aimed at:
- Beginners (basics, conversation, travel);
- Intermediate/advanced (improvement, exam preparation: TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC);
- Professionals (business English, interview preparation).

Feel free to contact me for more information.

With pleasure :)

Student in 2nd year at 18 years old business school, I offer help for homework (French, English, Portuguese). My goal is to advance the student by helping him understand his difficulties. I can also advise books that can help in the advancement of learning a new language.

Fabio

Come learn the beautiful language of Luís Vaz de Camões and let yourself be carried off, sitting on the stern of a caravel driven by Vasco da Gama, the scent of the foam of the waves of the Atlantic enraptures you while it resonates in your ears, a song of Fado spanking you already feel the Saudade of the country

I give Portuguese lessons for adults but also for the youngest, the proportion of oral or written courses is flexible according to your desires. Evaluation tests are recommended to see your progress. Finally for those who wish, I can also integrate the great history of Portugal in my classes.

Marcelo

Oi! Tudo bem?

To learn Portuguese, from Portugal or from Brazil, or both.
With motivation, you will be able to read and understand the setbacks of Camões, to feel the Fado, to access 365 recipes of the famous "bacalhau".
Learn this language and melancholy culture, characterized by the word "saudade".

Having lived in Portugal until I was 16 and two years in Brazil thereafter, I will be able to teach you everyday language and writing, but also at a more formal and administrative level through my studies. I think the best way to learn is to have fun. Therefore, I will bring interactive content to each class.

History, music, gastronomy, travel, reading, whatever your interest, let yourself be tempted.

Até já!

Antonio

I am of Brazilian origin, currently living in Geneva.

You will learn this wonderful Brazilian language with a lot of fun, with very interactive lessons! In addition, you will know more about the Brazilian culture.

Courses can be done in a specific area, if needed.

Jackeline

I am Brazilian bilingual in Spanish, born on a beautiful peninsula near Rio: Buzios, one of the main destinations for Argentines in Brazil.

Passionate about travel, I love discovering new cultures and interacting with people. I make intercultural experiences a priority in my classes.

I offer classes that correspond to your level. After a first conversation we will determine the objectives to be reached and at the end of each module we will decide together on the next objective.

A language is learned mainly by doing. I therefore offer activities that will allow you to improve yourself every day, such as: interactive methods, formal and informal conversations etc. All of this will prepare you for your day-to-day life in general, including anything related to work, travel, chats, etc.

We will also study with the help of films, text books and music that go according to your interest.

And of course we will also do grammar exercises to consolidate the basics.
