I would describe myself as a passionate and patient teacher who is dedicated to helping students achieve fluency and confidence

I have extensive experience teaching Portuguese to non-native speakers, including those whose first language is Russian, Spanish and English. I am skilled in creating customized lesson plans that focus on the specific needs of my students, whether they are looking to improve their conversational skills, gain a deeper understanding of grammar, or prepare for exams. Additionally, I have experience using a variety of online tools and platforms to make learning interactive and engaging.

In terms of my teaching method, I believe in a communicative approach. I focus on helping students use Portuguese in real-life situations, encouraging them to speak and engage with the language from day one. I combine grammar and vocabulary lessons with interactive activities, such as role-playing, listening exercises, and conversation practice, to ensure students develop all language skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. I also provide personalized feedback and adjust my teaching based on each student's learning pace.
