Looking to learn English or Portuguese in a fun, immersive, and personalized way? You’re in the right place!

I’m a qualified language teacher from Portugal, currently working at a private international English school in Belgium. Alongside my teaching role, I’ve also worked at the international level with stakeholders in Brussels—giving me valuable experience in business, academic, and geopolitical English, especially in professional environments.

My lessons are tailored to your unique goals, level, and learning style. I design each class using interactive games, audio materials, visuals, PDFs, and more—always with engaging, practical content that supports real-world communication.

I have taught learners of all ages (from 3 to 50+), and I bring experience in supporting neurodivergent and disabled learners, ensuring that my classes are inclusive, supportive, and adaptable for everyone.

Whether you’re learning for travel, work, studies, or personal growth, my goal is to make you feel confident, understood, and motivated every step of the way.

About Me
I'm Lara, a 23-year-old language teacher originally from Portugal and currently based in Belgium. I've been passionate about education for as long as I can remember—starting by helping children with schoolwork when I was still one myself. That early love for teaching naturally led me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Languages, Literatures, and Cultures.

I currently work at a private English school, teaching children aged 3 to 11, and I’ve also taught adults up to 50+, which has helped me deeply understand how learning needs shift throughout life. From young children to adults, I know how to adapt my methods to help each student succeed.

My teaching is based on full immersion: I speak only the target language during class, though I will, of course, switch languages when necessary. I believe that repetition and routine are key to building real fluency. I also prioritize interactive, experience-based learning through games, audios, visual materials, and hands-on practice, which makes the learning process more enjoyable and effective than traditional, rigid methods.

I recently moved from Portugal to Belgium, and I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in International Studies. My background and experience at the international level, both in the classroom and in professional environments, have helped me develop a teaching style that is flexible, inclusive, and tailored to each student's goals.
