Personal Description:
I am Portuguese and I am a private tutor in Portuguese. I have a Bachelor's degree in Languages and Literature from the University of Porto, Portugal, and two courses on teaching Portuguese as a Secong Language (one from the University of Porto and another one from the University of Coimbra, Portugal).
In 2019 I was the author of a scientific article published by the University of Porto based on a research done in a Portuguese Secondary school on teaching relative clauses.
Teaching Experience:
2010-Present - Private tutor in Portuguese
2016-Present - Private tutor in Latin
2017 - Speaker at the Linguistics Congress “A Linguística na Formação do Professor" (Linguistics in teacher qualification) held by the University of Porto Faculty of Arts.
2016-2017 - Teaching Assistant in the SEI Project – Society, School, and Research at the University of Porto Faculty of Arts
Teaching Approach:
As a native Portuguese speaker with over 20 years of experience teaching Portuguese as a Foreign Language, I’ve had the joy of helping students from all over the world connect with the language and culture of Portugal.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Languages and Literature from the University of Porto, along with additional qualifications to teach Portuguese as a foreign language from the University of Porto and the University of Coimbra. I'm also fully qualified to support students preparing for their Portuguese GCSE or A-Level exams, providing structured, exam-focused guidance to help them achieve their best results.
What truly sets my teaching apart is the care and attention I bring to every lesson. I pride myself on building a unique and bespoke relationship with each of my students. I listen attentively to your goals, challenges, and preferences – then design lessons that are completely tailored to suit your needs and learning style. My classes are dynamic, engaging, and fully personalized to help you get the most out of your time and effort.
All sessions are held via Zoom for flexibility and convenience. As a special bonus, I also offer a complimentary group session once a month for all my students, where we explore the rich and fascinating history and culture of Portugal in an interactive and friendly setting.
Whether you're starting from scratch, aiming for fluency, or preparing for exams, I’m here to support your journey every step of the way.
