Brazilian Portuguese: Academic Expertise (UFRJ) & Pluralistic Cultural Immersion

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 56.06 C$ /h

Learning a language means opening yourself up to new ways of being, living and interpreting the world around us.

With a degree in Portuguese and Literature from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), I offer support that goes far beyond simple grammar. My approach is rooted in creating a space for pluralistic dialogue, where your interests and worldview enrich each session.

I envision our sessions as an environment of exchange and freedom. Here, you are invited to express yourself with complete confidence, respecting your own pace and process of discovery. My role is to guide you through the organic logic of Brazilian Portuguese, using creative resources—exclusive visual aids, contemporary narratives, and interactive dynamics—that reflect the diversity and depth of real Brazil.

Together, we explore the nuances of Brazilian culture and literature in authentic contexts. I offer you a gateway to a vibrant culture and a new way of experiencing the language.

Ready to embark on this journey? Contact me for an initial meeting.

Extra information

Personalization: Following our initial discussion, I prepare exclusive materials (visuals, literary texts, press articles) that correspond to your objectives and your vision of the world.

Flexibility & Pace: The content is flexible. If you need more time on a concept or if a cultural topic particularly interests you, we'll adapt the session. Your comfort is my priority.

Resources: After each session, you will receive a summary of the points covered and additional resources to feed your curiosity between our meetings.

Support languages: If necessary, we can use French or English to clarify complex nuances, thus facilitating your progress.

About Me

Graduated in Linguistics and Literature from UFRJ, my journey is dedicated to exploring language as a tool for human connection. I enhanced my expertise through an academic internship in Languages and Translation at Université Lumière Lyon 2 (France), and I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Literary Studies at the Federal Fluminense University (UFF).

These experiences, combined with my participation in international symposiums and work in bilingual schools, have provided me with the tools to offer a sophisticated yet dynamic approach. To me, teaching is about creating a pluralistic space for the exchange of ideas. I aim to guide you through the language while respecting your own pace. I invite you to a fluid and authentic immersion, where each session is an opportunity for mutual growth.

For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.

You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.

My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.

In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.

What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!

In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!
