I worked in Portugal as a Qualified Teacher for 25 years and as a lawyer for 20 years.
In Portugal I taught different subjects: Portuguese (all levels); French (beginners for years 5 and 6); Economics (years 10 and 11); Political Economics (years 10, 11 and 12); Law (years 10 and 11) and Technological Education and IT (Years 7 to 9).

In United Kingdom I worked as a Portuguese Teacher for Cactus Language Ltd for 8 years. I worked as a translator/interpreter for 5 years. I translated and interpreted Portuguese – English and vice versa; Portuguese – French and vice versa and French – English and vice versa.
I used to teach Portuguese in small groups, between ages 5 to 7; 7 to 9 and 9 to 12. The most part of the children were Portuguese whose parents did not want they forget their mother tongue.
I supported some Portuguese people in some lawyers’ offices about Portuguese law issues, such as family law, work law and properties registered law.

In Dublin, I worked as a teacher between 2014 and 2016. I taught Portuguese and French. I taught also IT and Decorative Arts.
I supported children between 5 to 12 years old in Counselling groups.
I supported some Portuguese citizens in private lawyers’ offices and I gave them some general advice relating how to solve some Portuguese issues. Basically, the areas were about Human Rights, Criminal Law, Work Law and Properties’ register (House and land).

In Netherlands, I teach Portuguese in International School of Amsterdam and I teach Portuguese, French and Decorative Arts, including several techniques of Art & Craft at Guus Kieft School. Both schools are located in Amstelveen. I teach also French in International Business School The Hague and Portuguese in Taal tall Centrum. Both schools are situated in Den Haag.

I have been teaching Portuguese, French and English by Skype for more than 8 years.

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.

Pedro
Do you want to learn Portuguese in an easy and fun way? You are not the right place!
Taking into account that this is a distance course, it is intended to give everyone the opportunity to learn Portuguese, get to know a little about Portugal and its culture, giving the student the ability to understand and use expressions that are familiar, everyday and phrases. basics intended to satisfy specific needs. You will be able to introduce yourself, introduce others, and ask and answer questions about personal information (for example: where you live, the people you know, and the things you have).

Danilo Vieira
Brazilian Portuguese. Daily conversations, writing and pronunciation.
Classes are focused on grammar (as an important basis for learning process) and speaking. For example: in an one hour class, the first fifteen minutes are focused on useful expressions for daily life, mixed with a small conversation practice to put these expressions in use, then the second fifteen or twenty five minutes are focused on the grammar lesson of the day, and then the rest of the class is totally focused on speaking, in order to put into practice the rules and principles learned during the class.

Manuela
Portuguese Class (Begginer to Advanced) - Fluent Speaker from a Brazilian Polyglot :)
Portuguese is the 6th most spoken language in the world, and it is spoken in 4 continents (Europe, South America, Africa and Asia - Macau, China). In my class, you can learn anything about the language! We can talk about Funk, Football, Memes, Bossa Nova... My approach is focused on the best way for you to learn a language; it is individualized. I speak five languages: English and Portuguese fluently, Spanish and French pretty well, and I know the basics of Dutch. I hope to see you in my class, it would be a pleasure

Marcelo
Learn Portuguese in 10 weeks - private or group lessons -- professional with teaching degree - private and group lessons - online or hybrid
Oi Tudo bem? Mijn naam is Marcelo en ik kom uit São Paulo. Ik geef Portugees en Braziliaans Portugees in Den Haag en Rotterdam. Gelukkig kan ik mijn universitaire studies en 20 jaar praktische leservaring zodanig combineren dat de lessen goed onderbouwd en stimulerend zijn. Ik heb in Brazilië en in Portugal (Coimbra) gewoond en gestudeerd, dus ben een ‘native speaker, met veel kennis van de bijbehorende cultuur. Door speling van het lot, ben ik ook tweetalig, dus kan grammatica in het Nederlands uitleggen en vice versa. Mijn training is wel gefocussed op spreekvaardigheid. Jarenlang heb ik ook business trainingen gegeven aan twee zeer bekende taalscholen, dus ik weet hoe ik in korte tijd veel kennis kan overdragen. Dat voel je als cursist al gelijk bij de eerste les. Zakelijk Portugees of met spoed leren (binnen 10 werkdagen) is ook mogelijk. Ik heb een KvK en BTW nummer. Ik heb veel ervaring met geven van lessen per Teams of Whereby (Whereby is professioneler en Europees), al voor de crisis omdat ik ook cursisten in andere landen les geef. Bij virtuele lessen ontvangt u een transcript van de les per email, na afloop van de les. Lessen bij mij thuis zijn ook mogelijk met 1,8 meter afstand en goede circulatie. Mijn lessen zijn zeer gestructureerd en stap voor stap. Daarnaast leg ik altijd het 'waarom' uit van een grammaticaal onderwerp, dat een link creëert die ook beter werkt voor het geheugen en de les interessanter maakt. Omdat ik zo resultaatgericht ben, probeer ik trainees met een zachte hand de trap naar de volle spreekvaardigheid op te helpen en mijn taak is om de lessen zo leerzaam en aantrekkelijk mogelijk te maken. Abraços (vriendelijke groeten) Marcelo

Learn French, Portuguese and English for beginners
Learning a second language can be beneficial to the development of the brain, improving your memory, your attention span; enhancing your ability to multitask and gives you more social and job opportunities. It’s more than just a language. You learn about the country, culture, people and more. My goal is to share my knowledge with beginners or people who just want to practice what they already know, having a casual conversation or practicing what you already know.

Rodrigo
Brazilian Portuguese for all occasions (culture, music, business, etc)
Whether it's a conversation between new friends or a business meeting, the correct way of expressing it marks the difference and demonstrates a real interest. Brazil is a continental country. Each region has its own culture and way of expressing itself. Understanding and knowing how to communicate in each place is a differentiator for some people.

Carolina
European Portuguese with an experienced and dedicated teacher
Portuguese is my mother tongue. I have a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Glasgow and a Bachelor's Degree in Modern Languages from the University of Coimbra. I was a Portuguese lecturer at two Chinese universities (Harbin Normal University and Beijing Sport University) for five years. I give online classes to adults in all levels (A1-C2). My mission is to help each student reach their goals. Therefore, I will tailor the teaching method to each student's needs. Some of the materials used: written and audio exercises, texts, videos, games, songs, films, among others. Vamos a isso!

Lara
Portuguese language tutor for all levels and ages.
The ability to speak another language is becoming more and more encouraged. Therefore I would like to use my years of experience to help you! A bit about me: I am a second year university student learning Chinese. I speak 5 languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish, French and (in progress) Mandarin Chinese. I have been learning languages ever since I started learning English at the age of 4 (with Portuguese being my mother tongue. A bit about what I would cover: For complete beginners I would compile interactive classes in which I would set weekly exercises that are adaptable to your needs. I would be offering one hour classes but these could be shortened or lengthened to your desire and as frequently as three times a week if needed. For Intermediate with some experience and simply want help refining or practicing, I would be able to offer help by practicing conversational skills or going over any questions on specific or broad topics. Furthermore, I would be able to assist with helping you understand and communicate like a native speaker.
