Over

I’m a dedicated and friendly Portuguese as a Foreign Language teacher, passionate about helping students communicate with confidence. My classes are dynamic, personalized, and focused on real-life language use. I believe that every student learns differently, so I always adapt my lessons to your goals, your rhythm, and your learning style.

As a teacher, I’m patient, supportive, and very clear in my explanations. I enjoy working with motivated students, from complete beginners to advanced learners who want to refine their fluency or prepare for academic and professional situations. I frequently teach students who are moving to Brazil, traveling, or preparing for the CELPE-Bras exam.

My approach is communicative: you learn by speaking, practicing, and using Portuguese from the very first class. I use practical activities, authentic materials, guided conversation, grammar in context, and cultural insights to make learning both effective and enjoyable. I also give consistent feedback so you feel your progress every week.

If you’re looking for a teacher who combines structure, clarity, and a friendly atmosphere, I’ll be happy to support you on your Portuguese journey.

Hello everyone,
I'm Sanghee and my native language is Korean.
I have a certificate of Korean teacher training program and 5 years of teaching experience.
I've taught many different students from other countries.

First of all, I'd like to ask your Korean level. If you don't know any Korean we can start learning the Korean alphabet "Hangul"
After that, the class will be focused on your level and pace.
I use Korean language school book for the class so you can learn step by step.
I give you many chances to speak Korean every lesson so we can practice talking in Korean.

Every lesson consists of speaking, reading, writing and listening (Language skills)
Grammar & vocabs too. You can improve your Korean skill.
As for the lesson schedule, we can find the best time for the both of us.

Small group course is possible!
You can ask me about it
- Regular course
- Conversational course

Thanks for reading and hope to see you soon in the class.
감사합니다!

The real Portuguese adventure!

Advantages of learning a new language:

Learning a new language is fun. But what I’m (and you should be) after is not bilingualism but instead biculturalism. We think by aid of words. Therefore language shapes thought. In part this is because working in a second language slows down the thinking. No wonder people feel different when speaking a second language. And no wonder they feel looser, more spontaneous, perhaps more assertive or funnier or blunter.
Studies show that being able to speak another language is generally linked to a more flexible brain, developing the brain’s ability to plan and prioritize. Also it betters our defenses against dementia in old age.

Advantages of learning Portuguese:

• 250 million native speakers worldwide
• 5th most common language in the world
• It has been an official language since 1297
• It’s usage is spread over 4 continents (Europe, South America, Africa, Asia)

Now business,

The pace, duration, frequency and schedule of the classes is totally up to the student to decide. The best case scenario is 1-2x per week depending on both parties availability.

Focus on diverse subjects is possible, for example, grammar, diction, reading comprehension, written production, conversational skills.
In case the student has no specific requests, together we will follow the guidelines of a trusted book (that I myself bring to the class and the student doesn’t need to acquire).

The classes will rely also on bilingual children’s books and audio media. This double edged approach allows for fun learning ways and cultural assimilation.
In every class the student will be directly influenced by worldwide Portuguese culture ( music, history, geography).
Periodically we will evaluate how the classes are evolving so as to rapidly and effectively shift focus to where it is needed.

Both Brazilian and European Portuguese. We will start with the basic grammar of the Portuguese language. Depending on the pace and experience of the student, conversation will gradually take place in Portuguese. You will receive useful and practical tips to make learning the language even more fun.

Ik bied Portugese lessen aan en ik zou het geweldig vinden als jullie een les proberen! Mijn lessen zijn ontworpen om aan de unieke behoeften van elke student te voldoen, zodat je kunt leren op een manier die bij je past.
Mijn methode is gepersonaliseerd en interactief, waardoor je actief de taal kunt leren. We zullen ons richten op de elementaire onderdelen van de taal, zoals grammatica en uitspraak, terwijl we ons ook concentreren op conversatie en luistervaardigheden.
In mijn lessen zullen we ook oefenen met luisteren, spreken, lezen en schrijven. Zo kun je de taal op een allround manier leren. Bovendien zal ik je stimuleren om zelf je communicatievaardigheden in het Portugees te ontwikkelen en de taal ook in het dagelijks leven te gebruiken.
Ik kijk er naar uit om samen met jou te spreken en jouw reis in het Portugees te beginnen! :)
Ik bied ook conversatie lessen aan! Schrijf me om meer te weten:-)

My name is Nayara, and I'm from Brazil. I was a primary school teacher there from 2010. I also have experience giving private Portuguese lessons to people who start working after their education and can't speak or write Portuguese well. I have my own online materials to help with lessons. If you're traveling to Brazil and want to learn the language and culture, I can help. I have good teaching methods with good examples of the Brazilian people's lives. I'm sure you'll quickly learn to speak Portuguese.

Hello! 안녕세요! My name is Aki and I will soon graduate with a bachelor's degree in "Korean Studies" at Leiden University, part of which I spent at Sogang University in South Korea. During my studies, I mainly focus on pronunciation and conversation. However, during my stay in Korea, I noticed a big difference between "textbook Korean" and the Korean that people speak in everyday life. In my lessons, I try to keep this difference as small as possible and make it sound as natural as possible by focusing on conversations and modern vocabulary. We work with grammar, vocabulary and conversations around an overarching theme.
Although I have a basic package for beginners, I find it very important to look at the goals of the student. If you have specific goals or suggestions such as understanding K-pop songs, K-dramas or achieving Topik level 1-2, ... then I will gladly put together a personal package with matching themes that we will cover together.
Are you a complete beginner? Don't worry! All levels are welcome! Step by step you will learn to read and write the alphabet using handy, secret tips that I and others secretly used :).
I am happy to share my knowledge that I have gained over the years, and help you discover the adventure of the Korean language together! Hwaiting! 화이팅!

I am a French teacher (with a degree in French and Romance languages and literatures with a focus on teaching). I support young people from across the French-speaking world (Switzerland, Belgium, France) in their academic journey to help them achieve better results in French and, above all, gain more self-confidence.

I work with both native teenagers and foreign students living in French-speaking countries.

I adapt to the curriculum, exams and assessments provided by their school.

Looking forward to meeting your children,
Regards,
Laurie

In deze live les leert de leerling hoe hij/zij ChatGPT slim en verantwoord kan gebruiken als hulpmiddel bij leren en huiswerk.
Niet om antwoorden te kopiëren, maar om stof beter te begrijpen, gerichter te oefenen en effectiever te leren.

We werken samen aan:

het stellen van goede vragen (prompts)

uitleg krijgen op het juiste niveau

samenvattingen maken en verbeteren

oefenen met toetsvragen

leren controleren of een antwoord klopt

De leerling ontdekt hoe ChatGPT kan helpen bij verschillende vakken, zoals Nederlands, rekenen/wiskunde, geschiedenis en Engels.
De focus ligt op zelfstandig leren, inzicht en zelfvertrouwen, zodat de leerling er ook ná de les profijt van heeft.
