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 :)

This class focuses on learning and improving Spanish in a supportive and comfortable environment. Spanish is one of my native languages, which allows me to teach the language with confidence and real-life experience.

Students will be able to understand each concept clearly and learn how to use it in everyday conversations and real situations. When needed, I can also help students prepare for exams and school assignments.

I also offer support in Portuguese with intermediate experience, especially for students who need help with schoolwork or basic language practice. My goal is to help students understand the language, practice it, and feel confident using it in their daily lives.

With over 20 years of experience teaching languages, I offer structured, supportive courses tailored to each student. My goal is to help students progress with confidence and consistency.

I use a communicative approach, which emphasizes oral and written language practice. Depending on the needs, we work on conversation, grammar, pronunciation, and listening and reading comprehension.

Learning a language means opening yourself up to new ways of being, living and interpreting the world around us.

With a degree in Portuguese and Literature from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), I offer support that goes far beyond simple grammar. My approach is rooted in creating a space for pluralistic dialogue, where your interests and worldview enrich each session.

I envision our sessions as an environment of exchange and freedom. Here, you are invited to express yourself with complete confidence, respecting your own pace and process of discovery. My role is to guide you through the organic logic of Brazilian Portuguese, using creative resources—exclusive visual aids, contemporary narratives, and interactive dynamics—that reflect the diversity and depth of real Brazil.

Together, we explore the nuances of Brazilian culture and literature in authentic contexts. I offer you a gateway to a vibrant culture and a new way of experiencing the language.

Ready to embark on this journey? Contact me for an initial meeting.

Learning Portuguese Language and Literature in a creative and dynamic way is essential for building critical thinking, confident communication, and a deep connection to culture. When lessons come alive through exploration, discussion, and creative expression, students don't just learn the language — they expand their imagination, strengthen their voice, and develop the ability to interpret the world with clarity and insight.
Tailor‐made classes are essential in high schools because they meet students where they are, not where a generic curriculum assumes they should be.
They allow teachers to adapt content, pace, and methods to different learning profiles, cultural backgrounds, and academic goals. This leads to:

• Higher engagement, because students feel seen and understood
• Stronger academic progress, thanks to targeted support and challenge
• Greater confidence, as learners experience success in ways that match their strengths
• More inclusive classrooms, where diversity is not an obstacle but a resource

Learning Portuguese language and literature in a creative and dynamic way is essential for developing critical thinking, confident communication, and a deep connection to the culture. When lessons come alive through exploration, debate, and creative expression, students do more than just learn the language—they expand their imaginations, strengthen their voices, and develop the ability to interpret the world with clarity and discernment.
Tailor-made courses are essential in high school because they adapt to students as they are, and not to a standardized program that does not take their differences into account.
They allow teachers to tailor the content, pace, and methods to each student's learning style, cultural background, and objectives. This translates into:

• Increased motivation, because students feel recognized and valued
• Stronger progress, thanks to targeted support
• Increased confidence, since everyone can succeed according to their strengths
• More inclusive classrooms, where diversity becomes an asset
