I'm a Spanish teacher with over 20 years of experience in education, and my goal has always been clear: to help students learn the language in a practical, natural, and meaningful way.

My teaching approach is centered around real-life situations, with a strong focus on speaking and oral expression. I use a modern, engaging, and student-friendly method that encourages communication from day one.

I truly believe that learning a language is not just about memorizing rules—it's about living it, using it, and enjoying the journey.

I’m passionate about guiding each student along their path and providing them with the tools they need to feel confident using Spanish in real contexts.

Trained as a journalist and academic, I possess a specialised command of the Spanish language and grammar. My transdisciplinary training and my knowledge of various educational systems, given my teaching work in Canada, Chile and the United Kingdom, allows me to provide a comprehensive vision to each student and adapt to multiple scenarios and needs. I teach Spanish as a foreign language from a basic to an advanced level. It will be a pleasure to accompany you on your way to immerse yourself in the language and its cultural context.

My motto is always to find a way to motivate my students and make them progress according to their needs and goals.

In my class, you will find an abundant use of visual resources to stimulate memory and a flexible approach to achieve comprehensive language command from everyday life situations to specialised topics.

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 :)

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.
