My lessons are designed to make Brazilian Portuguese practical, engaging and meaningful. I use a communicative, student-centred approach, adapting each lesson to the learner’s age, proficiency level, interests and specific objectives.

I have extensive experience teaching Portuguese as a foreign language to international students, as well as teaching Spanish to Brazilian learners. I work with children from the age of five, teenagers and adults, from complete beginners to advanced students.

Lessons may include conversation, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening and writing, always with opportunities for students to actively use the language. I also incorporate authentic materials and topics related to Brazilian culture, everyday life, travel, business and academic contexts whenever appropriate.

For children, I use age-appropriate activities and interactive resources to maintain their attention and encourage natural language development. With teenagers and adults, I adapt the content to their personal, professional or academic goals.

Each lesson combines clear explanations, guided practice and communication. My goal is not only to teach grammar, but to help students develop confidence and the ability to communicate naturally and effectively in Brazilian Portuguese.
