Portuguese course: Brazilian or European, choose.

Adapted and adaptable courses thanks to a unique method. My passion for teaching languages allows me to listen to students while making them discover exciting things so that learning is a shared pleasure.
Discover a new society, a new way of thinking associated with one of the most beautiful languages in the world. Immerse yourself in its history: whether in Europe under the air of a melancholy "fado" or in South America under the nonchalance of Bossa Nova or the energy of a good samba.
Break stereotypes and prejudices ...

About Me

I have been teaching since the age of 9 (homework help for the youngest, literacy training for people in disadvantaged communities). It is a natural passion for me as well as the learning and teaching of languages: self-taught in English and Spanish, my university career has only increased my taste for languages and pedagogy.
With a Bachelor's degree in LLCE (Languages, Literature and Foreign Civilizations) - Portuguese with a specialization in Modern Letters with Italian as a second living language, I continued my career by carrying out more in-depth research in Linguistics, History of languages, study of Old French and initiation to Latin.
For me, languages are not just a way of communicating, but a plunge into a completely different daily functioning: a way of perceiving the world.
Finding the classical methods available on the current market incomplete, I developed my own method, which has been proven for more than 10 years.
Combine language learning with the pleasure of doing so, develop rich exchanges between teacher and student so that the latter's experience is productive and that he can achieve the objectives set.
I do not promise deadlines for mastering the language because each individual is different and each person has a different lifestyle: with their happiness and their setbacks. So, my method is adapted and adaptable to the student I have in front of me, so group lessons are very rare.
I would be very happy to answer your questions.
Welcome and do not hesitate to contact me.

Teaching French as a Foreign Language and other languages

59 C$ /h

Learning a language should be a pleasure whatever the objective, personal or professional. A teacher for over 15 years, it is a passion to be able to support students in their projects. I created a teaching method aimed at adaptability according to each person's knowledge, needs and personality. Listening and open-mindedness are the qualities that I have acquired during these years of work. I want my lessons to be pleasant and fluid so that students can feel comfortable.

Both Brazilian and European Portuguese. We will start with the basic grammar of the Portuguese language.

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 :)

Hi! I'm here to help you stop overthinking and start speaking. My classes focus on building your confidence through real-life scenarios, like, traveling, making friends, and everyday life.

We will skip the boring grammar drills and focus on what matters: natural dialogue, pronunciation, and understanding different accents. Whether you are starting from zero or stuck at the intermediate level, we will create a safe and fun environment for you to practice. Let's talk about hobbies, culture, and goals while you naturally improve your vocabulary!

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!

We will practice real-life communication through conversations, authentic materials, practical vocabulary, grammar in context, and interactive activities.

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.

🎯 Grow fluent and confident in Portuguese with lessons adapted to your goals, level and interests. Real-life use of the language is at the heart of my teaching, so in class we’ll speak Portuguese as much as possible and focus on situations and topics that are useful and meaningful to you.

📚 I mostly work with textbooks, especially if you’re a complete beginner, but I also use materials connected to your interests to help you learn and practise everyday vocabulary and expressions. Here are some other ways we can work together: watching a TV series, reading a book or even writing it, making a podcast... If there is another way you want to work, let’s make it happen!

🧩 When we work on grammar, I’ll encourage you to reflect and notice patterns, so you can understand how Portuguese works through guided discovery rather than simply memorising rules.

✍️ If you’re preparing for the DELE exam, I’ll teach you strategies for each part of the test and we’ll focus especially on speaking and writing. We’ll practise with exam-style tasks and work on the areas you need to improve so you know what to expect and how to approach the exam with confidence.

🗓️ If you’d like to get a better idea of what a class with me is like, contact me to arrange a meeting for free! We’ll talk about your goals, how we can work towards them, and we’ll do a short activity together.

Hi! I'm a native European Portuguese speaker currently living in Brussels, and I speak English fluently (with IELTS certification).
I can either help improve Portuguese speakers' grammar, or teach portuguese from scratch. If you want, I can focus on written or spoken portuguese (or a combination!). Portuguese can be a challenging language, but I believe that patience and practice will help you navigate it. I strive for people to speak their mind with confidence!
