About Me

Hello, my name is Suse , I'm 29 years old, I'm Portuguese and I live in Grenoble, France.

I am fluent in English, I have extensive knowledge of Chinese-Mandarin and I am learning French.

One of my biggest dreams from a very early age is to travel and see the world, a dream that I have been realizing step by step.

These trips have also served to endow me with multicultural awareness and to create respect for people and cultures geographically and culturally distant from mine.

And this is how I present myself to you: a person prepared for challenges, a lover of languages and cultures who wants to convey the beauty of them.

I love to read and share this passion with others!

After finishing my degree in Portuguese-Chinese Translation and Interpretation, I became a teacher of Portuguese as a Foreign Language. I taught Portuguese at a company based in Lisbon, specialized in teaching Portuguese to students of Chinese nationality.

For the past three years, I have been a teacher at the Chengdu Institute of Sichuan International Studies University (四川外国语大学成都学院), China. It was during this time I discovered my passion for teaching. I taught several classes as speaking, history, extensive reading, pronunciation, and so on, which prepared me for any challenge you might propose to me.

After return to Europe, I started to give online classes.

Throughout my experience as a teacher, I understood that learning a language can't be forced. Language learning is an individual process and should take place as naturally as possible for those who learn it.

Classes will be taught according to your level and prepared exclusively to meet your expectations and goals, in a relaxed and conducive environment for communication.

I'm available to teach not only Portuguese language classes but also historý, culture and other subjects you may have interest in.

The main goal is that the student has fun in each class.

Book a lesson with me to learn a language and experience a culture! I'm waiting for you!

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
