Brazilian Portuguese - real language, regular or support classes

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 18.37 C$ /h

I am a Professor with a degree in Literature and a PhD in Humanities and Arts. Part of my training took place in Brazil. I lived there twice, and on both occasions, I lived with native speakers. I prepare students, professionals, and enthusiasts according to their interests. I use an immersion approach in the real language, so my students usually begin speaking within a few months. I also prepare students for exams. I passed the CELPE-BRAS exam myself.

Extra information

If you want to speak Portuguese quickly, we can arrange an intensive language immersion course. The classes are usually very dynamic; I try to take full advantage of the online format.

About Me

I am an enthusiastic and highly committed language teacher, with an approach focused on real communication and building confidence from the very first lessons. I enjoy taking on new challenges and supporting each student through a meaningful and effective learning process.

I design dynamic, well-structured and fully personalised lessons, tailored to each student’s goals, interests and pace. I place particular emphasis on the practical use of the language, prioritising fluency, comprehension and the ability to communicate effectively in real-life situations, both in professional and everyday contexts.

I have experience teaching students of different levels and backgrounds, which allows me to adapt my strategies to optimise results and maintain a high level of motivation in every lesson. In addition, I have an advanced level of French, Portuguese and English, which enables me to work with international students and gives me a broad perspective on language learning. I have lived in Brazil and have travelled to the UK and France.

My goal is for each student not only to learn the language, but to acquire it naturally, developing confidence, autonomy and genuine communicative ability.

Education

I hold a PhD in Humanities and Arts, specialising in Literature (UNR). I am also a qualified Language Teacher and hold a BA in Literature (UNL), where I graduated with outstanding academic results (9.427 and 9.50).

My academic background is complemented by a strong command of foreign languages. I have an advanced level of French (DELF B2), Portuguese (CELPE-Bras, Upper Intermediate) and English, which enables me to work effectively with students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.

Experience / Qualifications

I have been teaching online for over four years, working with students of different levels and backgrounds.

Previously, I worked as a secondary school teacher, where I developed solid classroom experience. I also completed my doctoral training as a CONICET-funded research fellow, working full-time in academic research.

I have an excellent command of the language. I am certified with the DELF B2 exam and have completed all levels of the Alliance Française (level 12). I hold a Bachelor's degree and teaching certification in Literature, as well as a PhD in Humanities and Arts. I am passionate about French culture and literature. A few years ago, I began teaching French, whether for work, study, travel, or pleasure. My approach is immersion in the real language. I tailor my lessons to the student's needs.

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.

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 :)

My lessons are personalized and adapted to each student's goals, level, and pace. I place great importance on communication, trust, and motivation to create a positive and effective learning environment.

--> Teaching techniques and methods:

With over 20 years of experience teaching languages, I offer structured, supportive courses tailored to each student. My goal is to help students progress with confidence and consistency.

I use a communicative approach, which emphasizes oral and written language practice. Depending on the needs, we work on conversation, grammar, pronunciation, and listening and reading comprehension.

--> Typical course structure:

A lesson typically begins with a quick review, followed by activities tailored to the student's objectives (conversation, exercises, reading or listening comprehension). I also offer a variety of learning materials to make lessons dynamic and effective.

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.

Learning Portuguese Language and Literature in a creative and dynamic way is essential for building critical thinking, confident communication, and a deep connection to culture. When lessons come alive through exploration, discussion, and creative expression, students don't just learn the language — they expand their imagination, strengthen their voice, and develop the ability to interpret the world with clarity and insight.
Tailor‐made classes are essential in high schools because they meet students where they are, not where a generic curriculum assumes they should be.
They allow teachers to adapt content, pace, and methods to different learning profiles, cultural backgrounds, and academic goals. This leads to:

• Higher engagement, because students feel seen and understood
• Stronger academic progress, thanks to targeted support and challenge
• Greater confidence, as learners experience success in ways that match their strengths
• More inclusive classrooms, where diversity is not an obstacle but a resource

Learning Portuguese language and literature in a creative and dynamic way is essential for developing critical thinking, confident communication, and a deep connection to the culture. When lessons come alive through exploration, debate, and creative expression, students do more than just learn the language—they expand their imaginations, strengthen their voices, and develop the ability to interpret the world with clarity and discernment.
Tailor-made courses are essential in high school because they adapt to students as they are, and not to a standardized program that does not take their differences into account.
They allow teachers to tailor the content, pace, and methods to each student's learning style, cultural background, and objectives. This translates into:

• Increased motivation, because students feel recognized and valued
• Stronger progress, thanks to targeted support
• Increased confidence, since everyone can succeed according to their strengths
• More inclusive classrooms, where diversity becomes an asset

I create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and speaking naturally. Classes may include articles, videos, conversation topics, grammar explanations, roleplays, and personalized exercises to make learning more dynamic and effective.

This class aims to make students fluent communicators in Portuguese. They will be able to face everyday life, whether shopping or asking for directions on the street. My students will know perfectly how to introduce themselves, how to talk about their interests, and how to read an advertisement. In addition to speaking, there will be writing exercises focused on everyday life. I will be available for specific needs. I love Portugal very much and would like to share this passion by captivating students in the proper use of the Portuguese language.
