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 :)

Hello! I'm Enilson, a Portuguese teacher and graduate in Foreign Languages.

Whether you're starting from scratch or already have some knowledge of Portuguese but still don't feel confident speaking, I can help you develop more confidence and fluency.

My classes are structured and organized, following a clear path so that you learn the most important aspects of Brazilian Portuguese: grammar, vocabulary, authentic everyday pronunciation and also the culture of Brazil.

I enjoy working with a variety of topics, such as Brazilian culture, travel, music, film, health, family, conversation, and grammar, always in a dynamic and engaging way. I respect each student's learning pace and adapt the lessons to their goals, creating a welcoming and motivating learning environment.

For five years I studied at a federal university in Brazil and specialized in teaching Spanish to Brazilians. This training provided me with a solid foundation in teaching methodologies and allowed me to understand how the process of learning a new language occurs.

I currently work primarily with Spanish-speaking students, so I'm familiar with the most common difficulties they face when learning Portuguese. Furthermore, since I also speak Spanish, I can clearly explain the differences between the two languages and patiently guide you through the learning process.

Besides being a teacher, I was also a student of Spanish and, more recently, of English. That's why I understand the challenges of learning a new language and know how to make that process easier, more natural, and more efficient.

In my classes you will find:
✅ Well-organized and structured classes.
✅ Real conversations about topics of interest.
✅ Classes tailored to your needs and goals.
✅ Focus on fluency and confidence when speaking.
✅ Clear explanations and lots of practice.

In the first classes we will use simple and interesting materials, such as songs, videos, short texts and practical activities, to expand your vocabulary and facilitate your first contact with Brazilian Portuguese.

As you progress, we will use Portuguese more and more during lessons, naturally strengthening your understanding, pronunciation, and fluency.

Every student learns differently. That's why I adapt the classes to your goals and your learning pace, whether it's for traveling, working, studying, communicating more naturally, or deepening your language skills.

Book your first class and let's build together a practical, dynamic and personalized path for you to speak Portuguese with increasing confidence and fluency!

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

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.

Hi! I’m a native Mandarin Chinese speaker from Taiwan, and I offer personalized Chinese lessons for learners at different levels and with different goals.

For beginners, we can start with pronunciation, Pinyin, tones, basic grammar, and useful everyday conversations. For intermediate and advanced learners, lessons can focus on speaking fluency, vocabulary, reading, writing, and natural expressions native speakers use.

I mainly use Traditional Chinese, but I can also explain the differences between Traditional and Simplified Chinese when needed. Lessons are flexible and can be adapted to your interests, whether you’re learning Chinese for daily life, travel, study, or simply because you’re interested in the language and culture.

My goal is to make Chinese practical and approachable, with plenty of opportunities to actually speak and use what you learn.
