Welcome! I’m excited to share what my lessons are like and how I can support you in your journey to learn Brazilian Portuguese.

I hold a degree in Modern Languages—Portuguese/English—and a postgraduate degree in English Translation. My teaching methodology is student-centered, recognizing that each learner has their own way of learning and varying levels of prior knowledge. When taught correctly, language learning can be an enjoyable and fulfilling experience.

What to Expect in My Lessons:

- Development of Customized Lessons: I create tailored lesson plans based on your specific goals and proficiency levels. Whether you want to improve your conversational skills, prepare for a trip, or enhance your professional communication, I will design lessons that meet your needs.

- Enhancement of Communicative Skills: My lessons emphasize conversation, pronunciation, and writing. I use techniques to boost your confidence in using the language in everyday and professional situations, ensuring you feel comfortable speaking Portuguese in real-life contexts.

- Innovative Teaching Methods: I incorporate interactive and practical teaching techniques, using multimedia materials to make learning dynamic and effective. This approach not only keeps lessons engaging but also helps you retain what you learn.

- Continuous Progress Monitoring: I regularly evaluate your progress to ensure you’re on track and to make necessary adjustments to our lesson plans. This allows us to focus on areas that need improvement and celebrate your achievements along the way.

I invite you to join me in this exciting language learning journey. Together, we will explore the beauty of the Portuguese language and culture while achieving your goals.
