About Me

Hey there!

My name is Beatriz but I go by Bea. I am a master's student at the UvA and I am looking to pay my rent doig something I love: teaching.
I am 29 years old but I have extensive experience teaching and in the world of private tutoring. Because of that I am aware that every student is different and the best results are achieved if the class is tailored to the specific needs of that student. Regarding classes, you can expect just that from my part, in a constant dialogue with my student and/or his/her parents.
My classes are usually extremely interactive as I believe this provides a better learning experience.
I hope to hear from you soon! If you have any questions or requests for a specific type of class don't hesitate to contact me!

Portuguese language and culture lessons with a native speaker
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 | 30-60 | 60 | 90 | 90-60 | 45 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.

Portuguese: preparation for exams, business or just for holidays
Portugal is a beautiful country and during your holiday, business appointments or if you want to live there, you want to be able to understand the Portuguese people and speak to them in their own language. Or you are at school and you have chosen Portuguese as a foreign language because you plan to work there.

Portuguese classes for all ages: Discover the language of Camões.
These classes aim at people who want to develop their Portugueses skills, both from scratch with some previous knowledge. The pedagogical structure is adaptable to the situation; school-aged children with Portuguese parent(s) who don't always have the time and opportunity to teach them, adults who need practical advice and relatively quick skill training because of a Portuguese-speaking partner, friend, traveling, etc... Students are always encouraged to develop their interest in the Portuguese language.
