About Me

I am a Brazilian, from Santos (São Paulo), who is passionate about Portuguese language. Since a child, Portuguese was my favorite subject at school. I always did very well with grammar and corrected people's mistakes in my daily life.

My interest for languages expanded and currently I speak also English, German, Spanish and Dutch. This means that I can teach you Portuguese in any of these languages! :D

As a teacher, I aim to make my classes smooth, interesting and fun! I think it's very important to share with students something from my culture, such as musics, novelas (soap operas), festivities and food. I want to teach students with real life examples and vocabulary, instead of using cases that are only in the books. There is so much of Brazilian culture to be explored and this makes the language learning process much easier!

I am very flexible, so I can adapt my class to the needs of each student. If you want to do business with someone from Brazil, I am the right person to assist you! I am graduated in International Relations with focus in Business, so this gives me in depth knowledge in this field! If you are going for holidays in Brazil and you want to be able to dive more in the culture, I can also prepare classes for you!! In this way you can dance samba, while singing the lyrics!

I am very patient, so I can explain you something you didn't understand as many times as necessary. I have great communication skills, what is definetely helpful. Also, I am very enthusiastic, so I am going to do my best to keep you motivated and focused!!

Since I've learned several languages, I can share my tricks with you of how to become fluent in a new language! Finally, in Portuguese there are several words and expressions that really loose their meanings when translated. So by learning Portuguese, you really expand your horizons!

Experience / Qualifications

2018 - Present: I have been for more than 3 years teaching Portuguese via Apprentus. I had/ have several students, all with different profiles (ages, interests and Portuguese level). From people who want to learn the basics in order to travel to Brazil to fluent speakers who want to perfect their skills. So far, I have been giving classes in Portuguese, English and Dutch, as requested by the student. Currently, I am also teaching Dutch to a Portuguese child. There are no boundaries when teaching a language! I particularly think it helps a lot that I often can teach students in their motherlanguage.

2016: I taught voluntarily Portuguese to a Syrian refugee at a Daycare for less privileged children in São Paulo. The girl was 4 years old and lived in Brazil for 6 months, but couldn't speak Portuguese. The teaching process was focused on visuals, as she couldn't write or read. It was an extremely challenging and pleasurable experience. After a few months of classes, she could already interact with other children and express herself much better.

2015: I lived in India for 8 months, where I taught Portuguese to a group of colleagues at the company I worked (Financial Technologies). The company was expanding their business in Brazil, so by learning Portuguese the employees could get more familiar with the Brazilian market. This course was business oriented and also included advices for negotiating with Brazilians.

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 :)

This course is for adults, expats, and professionals who want to learn or improve their European Portuguese, whether for personal, professional, or cultural reasons. European Portuguese has phonetic differences and is often spoken at a faster pace than Brazilian Portuguese, which can make listening comprehension more challenging. My goal is to help you understand, speak, and use the language confidently and naturally.

The sessions are fully customized to your needs:

Listening comprehension of European Portuguese

practical and contextualized conversation,

pronunciation, rhythm and intonation,

professional vocabulary (tourism, commerce, finance, legal),

preparation for real-life situations (meetings, trips, professional exchanges),

reading and understanding authentic documents.

Thanks to my professional experience of over 35 years as a business manager in Portugal, I have developed a thorough command of the language in its formal, administrative, and professional uses. I have also worked with students from diverse backgrounds, such as a simultaneous interpreter, a tour guide, and an international trade professional, each with specific language objectives.

Courses can be held in person in Geneva or online, depending on your preference. The approach is practical, structured, and results-oriented, so you can progress quickly and use European Portuguese in your daily or professional life.

Brazil has one of the largest economies in the world and a massive consumer market.
Brazilian Portuguese can help in industries like:
-agriculture and commodities
-aviation and engineering
-technology startups
-tourism
-international trade

Knowing the language transforms travel in places like:
Rio de Janeiro
Recife
Salvador, Bahia
São Paulo
Amazon Rainforest
Instead of staying in the tourist bubble, you can connect with locals and experience the culture more deeply.

>>If someone already speaks Spanish, French, or Italian, Portuguese becomes much easier.

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.
