I'm a Spanish teacher with over 20 years of experience in education, and my goal has always been clear: to help students learn the language in a practical, natural, and meaningful way.

My teaching approach is centered around real-life situations, with a strong focus on speaking and oral expression. I use a modern, engaging, and student-friendly method that encourages communication from day one.

I truly believe that learning a language is not just about memorizing rules—it's about living it, using it, and enjoying the journey.

I’m passionate about guiding each student along their path and providing them with the tools they need to feel confident using Spanish in real contexts.

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 :)

I offer Portuguese lessons focused on developing speaking and listening skills, with particular emphasis on using the language in real-life situations, both personal and professional.

Lessons are primarily conversational, naturally integrating essential grammar, functional vocabulary, and pronunciation, allowing students to gradually gain confidence and fluency. Where necessary, sessions can also be oriented towards Portuguese language exam preparation at levels A1, A2, B1, and B2.

The methodology is based on dynamic and engaging approaches, tailored to the pace, interests, and goals of each student. Before starting the course, a brief diagnostic conversation is conducted, which informs a personalised learning strategy adapted to the student’s specific needs and expectations.

The main objective is to learn Portuguese effectively, practically, and enjoyably, fostering a positive relationship with the language, where progress goes hand in hand with the pleasure of learning.
