My goal is to provide enjoyable learning experiences to my students. I strive to provide an environment which cultivates a culture of confidence, mutual respect, promotion of diversity and equal opportunities. I believe that every student learns in a different way. Therefore I practise a learner-centred approach where my students are strongly encouraged to participate actively in their own learning process.

De echte Portugese ervaring!

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,

For the past 5 years I've had more than 50 students and based on experience I recommend the following lesson duration (minutes):
Age gap 0-6 | 7-12 | 13-17 | 18-45 | 45-64 | 65+
Duration 30 | 30-45 | 45-60 | 60 | 60-45 | 45-30

Focus on diverse subjects is possible, for example, grammar, diction, reading comprehension, written production, conversational skills. Because the goal of most students is the ability to communicate, I’ve been developing my classes that way. I have acquired extra audio media specially for you :) to hear Portuguese being spoken at a different pace, accent and voice tone.

My method is based on a book (that I myself bring to the class and the student doesn’t need to acquire) which I'm fairly familiar by now. But what I really like is to talk to the student. So the book will be used to present the gramatical structure of the language while also serving as an inspiration platform for conversation topics.
Periodically we will evaluate how the classes are evolving so as to rapidly and effectively shift focus to where it is needed.

Explore Public Speaking through...

Intonation and Melody

When training for a presentation, decide which words and passages deserve extra attention and increase the tone to emphasize these points. If something sounds exaggerated or false, your audience can turn against you.

Volume

A speech is not ordinary conversation, and a presenter can’t convey passion and enthusiasm if the words are delivered softly.

Clarity

Don’t forget to articulate every word, to ensure clarity on your part and understanding on the part of the audience.

Emphasis

Even in the same sentence, emphasizing different words can change the focus of a message. Changing emphasis can alter meaning and/or implication.

Pauses

when pauses are placed in strategic spots in a speech, they can make the difference between a good and an excellent presentation. There are several purposes for which pauses can be used: to give listeners a chance to absorb something that’s just been said; to generate expectations about something that’s going to be said...

Pacing & Tone

If you often get negative feedback about the faster or slower delivery of your speeches, practice delivering a speech sometimes faster and sometimes slower, so you can arrive at a natural pace.

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.
