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.

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 :)

Hi! I'm here to help you stop overthinking and start speaking. My classes focus on building your confidence through real-life scenarios, like, traveling, making friends, and everyday life. We will skip the boring grammar drills and focus on what matters: natural dialogue, pronunciation, and understanding different accents. Whether you are starting from zero or stuck at the intermediate level, we will create a safe and fun environment for you to practice. Let's talk about hobbies, culture, and goals while you naturally improve your vocabulary!

Hello! I'm Enilson, a Portuguese teacher and graduate in Foreign Languages. Whether you're starting from scratch or already have some knowledge of Portuguese but still don't feel confident speaking, I can help you develop more confidence and fluency. My classes are structured and organized, following a clear path so that you learn the most important aspects of Brazilian Portuguese: grammar, vocabulary, authentic everyday pronunciation and also the culture of Brazil. I enjoy working with a variety of topics, such as Brazilian culture, travel, music, film, health, family, conversation, and grammar, always in a dynamic and engaging way. I respect each student's learning pace and adapt the lessons to their goals, creating a welcoming and motivating learning environment. For five years I studied at a federal university in Brazil and specialized in teaching Spanish to Brazilians. This training provided me with a solid foundation in teaching methodologies and allowed me to understand how the process of learning a new language occurs. I currently work primarily with Spanish-speaking students, so I'm familiar with the most common difficulties they face when learning Portuguese. Furthermore, since I also speak Spanish, I can clearly explain the differences between the two languages and patiently guide you through the learning process. Besides being a teacher, I was also a student of Spanish and, more recently, of English. That's why I understand the challenges of learning a new language and know how to make that process easier, more natural, and more efficient. In my classes you will find: ✅ Well-organized and structured classes. ✅ Real conversations about topics of interest. ✅ Classes tailored to your needs and goals. ✅ Focus on fluency and confidence when speaking. ✅ Clear explanations and lots of practice. In the first classes we will use simple and interesting materials, such as songs, videos, short texts and practical activities, to expand your vocabulary and facilitate your first contact with Brazilian Portuguese. As you progress, we will use Portuguese more and more during lessons, naturally strengthening your understanding, pronunciation, and fluency. Every student learns differently. That's why I adapt the classes to your goals and your learning pace, whether it's for traveling, working, studying, communicating more naturally, or deepening your language skills. Book your first class and let's build together a practical, dynamic and personalized path for you to speak Portuguese with increasing confidence and fluency!
