My lessons are personalized and adapted to each student's goals, level, and pace. I place great importance on communication, trust, and motivation to create a positive and effective learning environment.

--> Teaching techniques and methods:

With over 20 years of experience teaching languages, I offer structured, supportive courses tailored to each student. My goal is to help students progress with confidence and consistency.

I use a communicative approach, which emphasizes oral and written language practice. Depending on the needs, we work on conversation, grammar, pronunciation, and listening and reading comprehension.

--> Typical course structure:

A lesson typically begins with a quick review, followed by activities tailored to the student's objectives (conversation, exercises, reading or listening comprehension). I also offer a variety of learning materials to make lessons dynamic and effective.

About Me

I am a language teacher with many years of experience teaching children, teenagers, and adults in multicultural environments. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Languages (Portuguese–English) from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and a Master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from UCD Dublin.

My teaching approach focuses on creating engaging and dynamic lessons that encourage participation, creativity, and confidence. I believe in adapting lessons to each student's needs, level, and learning style, and I place great importance on a positive and motivating learning environment.

I teach:

Portuguese as a foreign language (all levels)
Portuguese as a heritage language for children who want to learn, maintain, or develop the language connected to their family and culture
English for children, teenagers, and adults

I enjoy helping students progress step by step and gain confidence using the language in real situations. My lessons are personalized and designed to make learning both effective and enjoyable.

Hello! I am a Russian native speaker, a holder of a degree in Linguistics and Translation and a very dedicated tutor. I offer Russian language courses which will help you to master Russian in a short period of time.
During my classes, you will have a relaxed atmosphere and a lot of listening, speaking, writing and reading activities. We will focus on essential vocabulary, common phrases and, of course, grammar. My lessons are well-structured and I always have a special approach to each student, explaining all the material in tiny details.
I have lived and studied abroad, so my English is fluent, and I will explain all the rules in a very accessible manner.
By the end of the intensive course you will be able to:
- Express your thoughts and ideas in Russian
- Understand Russian native speakers
- Advance your Russian vocabulary of various topics

I am looking forward to teaching you!

If you have difficulties in German and/or English at primary, secondary, gymnasium or apprenticeship level, I can help you consolidate the basics, fill gaps and improve your language level. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in English and German at the University of Lausanne and am currently doing a Master's degree in English and German. I obtained my bilingual baccalaureate in German and I completed a long stay for English (level C2) in Dublin and a one-year university exchange for German in Berlin. (Level C2) I am happy to help you!

Difficulties in English or French? Learning a new language is not easy, nor is discovering a new culture. Learning is much easier when you have fun, and when the lesson is based on the child's interests.

Scientific research increasingly shows that we learn better while having fun, by adapting the teaching to our tastes. For English it's the same ... if your child is a fan of Minecraft or Pokemon, manga or drawing, we will approach the subject while reviewing the notions of English acquired or in the process of being acquired.
