Gabriel Frias Martins Melo

Olá! I'm Gabriel, a Brazilian native and experienced Portuguese tutor, offering private lessons to help you master this beautiful and vibrant language. As a Palaeontology (Yes! Dinosaurs!) graduate from the University of Birmingham, I bring a unique blend of scientific knowledge and cultural insights to my teaching. My lessons are not just about grammar and vocabulary; they're a gateway to exploring exciting topics like environmental preservation, fascinating science facts, and diverse aspects of Brazilian culture. I am also very nerdy and into pop culture, games, movies, books and more! Please feel free to chat (In Portuguese) about your personal interests as well! There is no better way to learn a language other than talking about what we love!

With my background in science communication, I ensure that each lesson is engaging and tailored to your interests. Whether you're looking to delve into Brazilian music, samba rhythms, the mysteries of the Amazon, or the wonders of Rio's Carnaval, I've got you covered. My approach is fun, interactive, and customized to make learning Portuguese an enjoyable and enriching experience. I will also prepare material for you to practice after classes and you can email it back so I can keep track of how fast you are improving. For those who are interested in pursuing academic qualifications, I have experience in preparing students for the Celpe-Bras exam with two students who successfully achieved their desired grades and went to study a year abroad at the University of Sao Paulo.

Join me to embark on a linguistic journey that opens up a world of opportunities and cultural richness. Vamos aprender Português juntos!
