Speak Portuguese with Confidence: Active and Dynamic Conversation for all ages.

From 13 € /h

Hello!

I'm Maria, and my mission is to help you improve your Portuguese through conversation. My method focuses on light, practical, and patient conversation. I believe that fluency comes with constant practice and overcoming the fear of making mistakes. Our classes will be natural conversations about topics of interest to you, and more, such as: news, travel, culture, work, movies, series, music, or your hobbies. I will be there to guide you, correct your pronunciation, and introduce new expressions naturally and in the right context. If you already have a basic understanding but are afraid of making mistakes, conversing in Portuguese with someone, or improving your pronunciation, I am the ideal teacher for you!

I look forward to seeing you in class.
See you soon!

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 :)

Olá! Tudo bem? Prazer, meu nome é Paloma.

I am a Portuguese teacher, translator, proofreader, language lover, and lifelong learner.

I am originally from Recife, Brazil, and since 2020, I have discovered my passion for teaching the Portuguese language. Despite having an initial education in a different area, it was through learning languages and teaching my students that I developed my skills as a teacher. I have also pursued further university certificates in linguistics, Portuguese as a foreign language, teaching methodologies, and translation.

I have always been passionate about languages. In addition to Portuguese, I speak English and Spanish, and I am currently studying other languages (this is one of my hobbies).

My experience as a language learner has given me the essential tools to support my students on their journey to learning Portuguese.

Whether you are starting from scratch or looking to advance your fluency, I am here to help you speak with confidence and joy.

You decide how you want to learn — our classes can be in English or fully in Portuguese for total immersion! My goal is to create a supportive, engaging, and dynamic learning environment where you feel comfortable and motivated to achieve your best.

Why learn with me?
• Personalised lessons tailored to your goals and learning style
• A balance between structure and flexibility, so you stay on track while enjoying the process
• Engaging and interactive classes that incorporate real-life conversations, cultural insights, and fun exercises
• A patient, encouraging approach to keep you motivated and confident

In our first lesson, I will assess your level, learning preferences, and areas of improvement so we can create the best strategies to help you progress as quickly as possible.

If you do not see an available time slot that works for you, do not hesitate to message me — I will do my best to accommodate your schedule!

I cannot wait to meet you and be part of your language-learning journey! Schedule your first lesson, and let’s get started.

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.

This course is for adults, expats, and professionals who want to learn or improve their European Portuguese, whether for personal, professional, or cultural reasons. European Portuguese has phonetic differences and is often spoken at a faster pace than Brazilian Portuguese, which can make listening comprehension more challenging. My goal is to help you understand, speak, and use the language confidently and naturally.

The sessions are fully customized to your needs:

Listening comprehension of European Portuguese

practical and contextualized conversation,

pronunciation, rhythm and intonation,

professional vocabulary (tourism, commerce, finance, legal),

preparation for real-life situations (meetings, trips, professional exchanges),

reading and understanding authentic documents.

Thanks to my professional experience of over 35 years as a business manager in Portugal, I have developed a thorough command of the language in its formal, administrative, and professional uses. I have also worked with students from diverse backgrounds, such as a simultaneous interpreter, a tour guide, and an international trade professional, each with specific language objectives.

Courses can be held in person in Geneva or online, depending on your preference. The approach is practical, structured, and results-oriented, so you can progress quickly and use European Portuguese in your daily or professional life.

Brazil has one of the largest economies in the world and a massive consumer market.
Brazilian Portuguese can help in industries like:
-agriculture and commodities
-aviation and engineering
-technology startups
-tourism
-international trade

Knowing the language transforms travel in places like:
Rio de Janeiro
Recife
Salvador, Bahia
São Paulo
Amazon Rainforest
Instead of staying in the tourist bubble, you can connect with locals and experience the culture more deeply.

>>If someone already speaks Spanish, French, or Italian, Portuguese becomes much easier.
