About Me

I am a Brazilian, from Santos (São Paulo), who is passionate about Portuguese language. Since a child, Portuguese was my favorite subject at school. I always did very well with grammar and corrected people's mistakes in my daily life.

My interest for languages expanded and currently I speak also English, German, Spanish and Dutch. This means that I can teach you Portuguese in any of these languages! :D

As a teacher, I aim to make my classes smooth, interesting and fun! I think it's very important to share with students something from my culture, such as musics, novelas (soap operas), festivities and food. I want to teach students with real life examples and vocabulary, instead of using cases that are only in the books. There is so much of Brazilian culture to be explored and this makes the language learning process much easier!

I am very flexible, so I can adapt my class to the needs of each student. If you want to do business with someone from Brazil, I am the right person to assist you! I am graduated in International Relations with focus in Business, so this gives me in depth knowledge in this field! If you are going for holidays in Brazil and you want to be able to dive more in the culture, I can also prepare classes for you!! In this way you can dance samba, while singing the lyrics!

I am very patient, so I can explain you something you didn't understand as many times as necessary. I have great communication skills, what is definetely helpful. Also, I am very enthusiastic, so I am going to do my best to keep you motivated and focused!!

Since I've learned several languages, I can share my tricks with you of how to become fluent in a new language! Finally, in Portuguese there are several words and expressions that really loose their meanings when translated. So by learning Portuguese, you really expand your horizons!

Experience / Qualifications

2018 - Present: I have been for more than 3 years teaching Portuguese via Apprentus. I had/ have several students, all with different profiles (ages, interests and Portuguese level). From people who want to learn the basics in order to travel to Brazil to fluent speakers who want to perfect their skills. So far, I have been giving classes in Portuguese, English and Dutch, as requested by the student. Currently, I am also teaching Dutch to a Portuguese child. There are no boundaries when teaching a language! I particularly think it helps a lot that I often can teach students in their motherlanguage.

2016: I taught voluntarily Portuguese to a Syrian refugee at a Daycare for less privileged children in São Paulo. The girl was 4 years old and lived in Brazil for 6 months, but couldn't speak Portuguese. The teaching process was focused on visuals, as she couldn't write or read. It was an extremely challenging and pleasurable experience. After a few months of classes, she could already interact with other children and express herself much better.

2015: I lived in India for 8 months, where I taught Portuguese to a group of colleagues at the company I worked (Financial Technologies). The company was expanding their business in Brazil, so by learning Portuguese the employees could get more familiar with the Brazilian market. This course was business oriented and also included advices for negotiating with Brazilians.

Reviews (4)

Der Unterricht bei Giovanna ist großartig: Giovanna ist sehr freundlich und zuverlässig, Ihre Art des Lehrens sehr effektiv!
heel goede eerste les duidelijke uitleg, goede voorbeelden en interactief lesmateriaal past en wordt mooi aangevuld net even gekeken naar mijn eerste commentaar van een school jaar geleden en ik moet zeggen dat ik nog even overtuigd ben als toen. Giovanna is gewoon goed. Duidelijke uitleg, passend (multimedia) lesmateriaal, aanpassing van het lesmateriaal aan mijn persoonlijke en beroepscontext. Soms streng, maar steeds rechtvaardig en redelijk, vorderend maar zonder te overdrijven, een open oor voor feedback en vragen om verdieping. kortom, een upgrade naar 5 sterren meer dan waard. Ik kijk alvast uit naar het volgende "schooljaar".
Giovanna geeft op een leuke en laagdrempelige manier les. Goed lesmateriaal voor de les en ze neemt de tijd om dingen uit te leggen. Duidelijk, zowel in Nederland als Engels.
Giovanna is a great teacher - competent, fun & patient. Highly recommended!

Smart with Money: A Class on Financial Literacy for Kids
Financial literacy is an important skill for kids to learn at an early age. I know many adults who would have loved learning about it earlier. They will learn about saving money, spending money wisely, and managing their finances. First, they will learn and think about how and why saving money: - short-term and long-term goals they can save for (e.g. a toy, a trip, college education). - how to create a budget and track their spending. - Compound interest and the impact of starting to save early. How to spend money wisely: - difference between needs and wants. - how to compare prices and make informed purchasing decisions. - learn what is impulse buying and method to take the time to think before spending. How to managing money: - Keeping track of spending and creating a budget - Different types of bank accounts, type of money and currencies - learn what are credits, how they work and how it can impact their finances in the future. This class is made for kids, so it'll include use games, puzzles, and interactive activities to help them understand the concepts while having fun.

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 !

Financial accounting, Bookkeeping, Business Study, and Commerce Tutoring
Bookkeeping, Accounting, and financial accounting are embedded economically in all levels and types of business organizations. This is a result of the importance of record keeping in daily business transactions to the government, business enterprises, society, and us. Even a layman otherwise known as a small store keeps records, which is why a bookkeeper has to tackle "incomplete records".A professional could make errors, this brings about the "correction of errors". Also, the need; for organizations to be socially, politically, and economically recognized, to attract investors, to reap benefits accruing from standard and systematic record-keeping, to give business updates to the users of accounting information, and so on. Hence, enterprises are demanding students/professionals with appropriate skills to ensure their business data or information otherwise known as financial statements reflects the true and fair views, I am concerned about building students' confidence, simplifying accounting methods for students, and walking you through the process of accounting equation ( assets = liabilities ) by the application of its principles and how to identify discrepancies affecting business records. How to fix these discrepancies using tools like trial balance, control account, bank reconciliation statement, and other errors as they affect day-to-day posting/records. With the use of practical examples and source documents ( physical or digital). Other adjustments like accruals and prepayments must be well understood by bookkeeping or accounting students. However, the appropriate application and effective understanding of the above will lead to the successful preparation of a financial statement that comprises profits and loss accounts of different organizational settings, a statement of financial position, a statement of cash flow, a statement of change in equity, and disclosure notes.
