About me
Hi! I'm Jonatas, a Brazilian journalist passionate about languages, communication, and cultures 🌍. I'm 28 and currently living in Canada, where I'm studying digital marketing.
Over the past few years, I’ve completed more than 2000 lessons on LearnZone 💻, helping students from all over the world improve their confidence and fluency in Portuguese.
I love ⚽ sports, 📚 reading, and ✍️ writing — and I truly enjoy connecting with people from different backgrounds.
I speak English, Italian, and Spanish, which allows me to support learners at any level. Let’s learn in a natural, relaxed, and fun way! 😄
I have over 4 years of experience teaching Portuguese online to students from different countries, levels, and learning goals. Throughout this time, I’ve developed a flexible and student-centered approach that combines practical conversation, contextual grammar, everyday vocabulary, and a deep immersion in Brazilian culture.
I hold a degree in Social Communication - Journalism and a technical certification in Visual Communication, which helps me communicate clearly and creatively, always focusing on real-world language use.
My lessons are fully personalized: each student has their own rhythm, learning style, and goals — and I adapt the content accordingly. I use authentic materials (videos, audio, texts), interactive exercises, and activities that encourage speaking from day one, even with beginners.
Besides Portuguese, I also speak English, Italian, and Spanish, which makes communication much easier, especially with beginners who are still learning the basics of the language.

I really enjoy my lessons with Jônatas. He is patient, creative and flexible, and the lessons are always interesting and different. I especially like the diversity of resources used, including videos, articles and songs on all kinds of topics. I am always curious to find out what the next discussion topic will be :-) I signed up to practice conversation but I am learning so much more! It is a truly enrichening experience!

They teach Portuguese grammar very logically, with great care and in great detail. They also assign homework and provide careful corrections and revisions; they are truly a great teacher. They are a kind teacher with a wealth of knowledge about Brazil and the Portuguese language, and I highly recommend them to the point that I almost don't want to share!
