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.

Private lessons of Brazilian Portuguese with a native speaker
Hello, I've got a bachelor's degree in Portuguese and English, French Certificate given by the Alliance Française, and currently I am doing a Master in Didactique des Langues Étrangères et Secondes (Foreign and Second Language Didactics), with a specialization in FLE (Français Langue Étrangère/French as a foreign language) and in ESL (English Second Language). With knowledge of linguistics, being a native Portuguese speaker, and experience in private lessons, I offer to help and support students in learning and/or developing their skills. My class is for all levels and all ages. I believe that pronunciation is very important for good communication, so I work a lot on that with my students. In addition, I am well aware of the challenges faced by French and English speakers when it comes to speaking Portuguese. I can also help those who have other mother tongues and are interested in learning Portuguese. I love grammar and the grammatical differences between languages. I think you learn best by having fun. I am available to answer any questions! Thank you and see you soon !

Pedro Henrique
Learn Brazilian Portuguese with a native speaker
This Brazilian Portuguese course is suitable for those who already speak a little bit and who want to practice and deepen themselves more, as well as for those who still want to take the first steps. With me you will find enough encouragement and security to expand your boundaries and understand, write and speak Portuguese more. My approach is organically structured with an eye to relevant themes for the student and self-knowledge. I studied International Politics and have interests related to ecology and spirituality. I live in the beautiful city of Recife with two cats and am also a flower essence therapist.
