I specialize in private classes based on students demands. It is very important for me to keep the students happy and enjoying the learning. I also teach them some culture in order to understand the language better. I have been teaching IGCSE French and Portuguese as well as A Levels and IB.I believe in organic teaching and in including the language in real life. My students come from a multicultural background and are used to be open minded. I teach them to be citizens of the world, therefore it is very important to learn a foreign language, in order to feel at ease wherever they go.

English is a widely used language and a skill that would boost one's chances in any application. In this class, we will cover the basics of English right from the alphabets to basic grammar, sentence formation and having a conversation.

Hello everyone,

I am PhD student in Porto. All my life I've been helping out and proof-reading colleagues' works, or just motivating them to be the best version of themselves. I have advised students and helped them achieve their goals, e.g., going abroad for their studies, helped them through steps of applications, publications, and so on. I have also supervised a Master's student working on his thesis at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). I believe it is time that I expand my circle and reach out to help other people as well.
Therefore, I will be able to help with your English needs; specifically, if you need it for academic success. My class will include everything from basic conversations you want to have with a friend casually, all the way to the submission of your first paper. My TOEFL iBT score was 115 (98th percentile) in 2016! Something that is very manageable to be honest. Furthermore, my analytical writing for the GRE received a 4.5 (82nd percentile) the same year.

Hi!
Classes with me are conversational with practical practice. During them, English will be the only spoken language. I like to start from the basics and move slowly to the more advanced levels at the pace of every individual. Working with students of different ages is always an incredible experience, as I love to see how their language barriers weaken and knowledge grows!

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send me them and I will be happy to answer! 😄

The Arabic language is used by Muslims around the world to read the Holy Qur'an, it becomes compulsary in order to understand the context of the holy script.
I have been an English Instructor for 10 years for young learners and adults.
As there is a shortage of Arabic speakers/teachers in the North of Porto, I am here to be able to help all ages (7 years onwards) to be able to write and read in basic Arabic.

As an Erasmus visiting Porto, I would like to share my knowledge of French with Portuguese people. French is my first language, and I speak English fluently. However, I don't speak Portuguese very well.
The French lessons would consist of doing small exercises in conjugations and grammar, but also lessons on French culture. I want to ensure that the lessons are rather fun, because for me it is the best way to learn a language.

First, engage with life experiences.
Discuss travel, food, cultures.
Introduce the word ever.
Elicit and explain Have you ever...?
Then the construction with the past participle.
I've never...
I've...
Make sure that it is understo that we are taking about past experiences in life, up until the present.

English, it is an international language that is spoken in every corner of the world. We travel, do business and other things its could be easy to speak in english rather to learn difficult language. It could be wonderful to learn new language like Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Germen, Spanish, Portuguese and so on but English could be perfect for us to work in multi business companies and to enhance your confidence.

Thanks
