Personal Description:
Teaching is part of my life, which I really enjoy!
My teaching career started in 1985 in São Paulo city, and after some years I received a new challenge in a beautiful coastal location. Two schools invited me to teach and I accepted.
Teaching Experience:
Then I had opportunity to improve more my career, teaching different subjects like: ICT, Statistic, Accounts and Portuguese. Also I helped others teachers to develop ways to improve their classes using modern technology, bringing a new face to the lessons.
A further challenge arrived in my life in 2011 and made me move once again and now to UK.
Since there I have enjoyed teaching and helping many students in their challenge, to learn Brazilian Portuguese or European Portuguese.
No matter what your goals are, travel, business, educational proposal or simply to learn a language, we can work together to achieve them. I have my own material for all levels, ages and needs.
Teaching Approach:
In a very dynamic class, we talk about music, art, nature, hints & tips that I believe help to build your confident. In a balanced mix of conversation, grammar, exercise, video and books, you will achieve your target.
Tuition can be Face2Face or online via Skype, Google Hangout

SolangeFrom Renske (5/5): Solange taught me for only a short time, as I decided to go to Brazil and learn Portuguese there. However, the classes she did provide had good materials and she helped me get back into Portuguese for sure. I wasn't sure what my level was so it was a bit of a search for both of us at times, but I appreciate her patience and I learned a lot, even in a short time. I would definitely recommend! Muito obrigada Sol!
Reply from: Solange: Thank you very much for your feedback. Mean a lot for me!!

From lucy (/5): Solange, was a great teacher. She had an abundance of resources available so I was able to practice Portuguese in a variety of ways; we mainly practiced speaking and pronunciation by reading quirky short stories and discussed certain topics for my degree.
Unfortunately I stopped lessons with Solange because I felt that we were changing my work rather than correcting it, I guess i felt that we were not fully addressing the errors in as much detail as I would perhaps have liked. She assured me that I could still go to her with any questions I may have in the future, so thank you Solange.
Having said that, that was my experience, I think that Solange is a great teacher for Portuguese. She is smiley, bubbly and has a lot of interesting ideas while listening and respecting yours. I would also say that she has a lovely Brazilian accent that is easy to follow and understand. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is studying Portuguese because she has excellent portuguese material and her lessons are light and fun.

From Louise (/5): My husband and I have just had our first Portuguese lesson with Solange **E-mail Address Removed**hangout. It was very enjoyable - interactive and fun. Looking forward to many more! Obrigada Solange.
Reply from: Solange: Thank you
From Anita (/5): Solange has a sense of humour which helps make the lessons interesting. She senses the right pace for me as an older learner but gives me challenge.
I am grateful to work on the basics of Brazilian Portuguese as per the lessons so far. In future, when I have understood and am able to use the basics, I hope for more tailored approach to my situation and the language I will require to talk to family. Solange has shown a willingness to give that flexibility.

Reply from: Solange: Thank you Anita for your feedback, much appreciated. You work very hard and I am sure that soon you will be able to experience your progress in the way that you feel more confident and comfortable with the language.

From Simon (/5): I've been having lessons for a month now with Solange and so far it's going great. I've found Solange very easy to get along with,which when your having one to one tuition must be the most important factor because you have to feel comfortable with your teacher.
Solange also has put a lot of thought into her lessons and has backed it up with plenty of aids which she sends after lessons so you can continue with your work at home.
I'm now looking forward to a long and fruit full relationship

From Ian (/5): Fundamentally helping to improve (start my Portuguese) and the lessons & studying is set so the only limitation to the progress I wish to make is the time I can invest. Engaging & charming style making it a great learning environment and has me forgetting my initial inhibitions and willing to try and improve my phonetics!! The best way to learn.
The lessons are also interspersed with great bits of information's which gives a real understanding of Brazil and it's people and the context to the language.
I would recommend!

I am sure that you'll be fine :)

From Kane (/5): I came here as a beginner and struggled to find someone who specialized in Brazilian Portuguese, until I found Solange. As someone who's not naturally good with languages I have grown more confident in speaking, writing and understanding the content.This is all thanks to Solange, through varies lesson materials and ways of learning including, audio, task sheets, interactive videos and an overall warm, welcoming character. I have experienced one to one tutoring both in person and via the internet on Skype. However having two sessions a week, I opted for sessions through Skype due to convenience within my schedule. I highly recommend this tutor for anyone wanting to learn more and is a pleasure to work with. Obrigado !
Reply from: Solange: Obrigada Kane :)
