I have extensive experience teaching European Portuguese to absolute beginners. My classes are structured and progressive, focusing on clear explanations, pronunciation, and real-life communication from the very first lesson. I help students build a solid foundation in grammar and vocabulary while gaining confidence to speak without fear.

My conversational classes are designed to help students speak naturally and fluently in European Portuguese. We focus on real-life topics, idiomatic expressions, and pronunciation, with constant feedback and corrections. I use guided discussions and roleplays to help students sound more natural and confident.

For students who want fast and consistent progress, I offer intensive Portuguese programs. These classes combine grammar, speaking, listening, and writing, with frequent homework and personalized feedback. Ideal for students moving to Portugal or preparing for exams within a short timeframe.

I have experience teaching Portuguese to children through dynamic and engaging lessons. I use games, songs, visual materials, storytelling, and interactive activities to keep children motivated and learning naturally. My goal is to create a fun and positive environment while developing vocabulary, comprehension, and basic speaking skills.

My Business Portuguese classes focus on professional communication in European Portuguese. I help students improve formal vocabulary, emails, presentations, meetings, and workplace conversations. Lessons are adapted to each student’s professional field and real communication needs.

I prepare students specifically for the CIPLE exam, following the official CAPLE format. Classes include grammar revision, listening and reading comprehension, writing tasks, and speaking simulations. I provide structured materials, exam strategies, and regular practice tests to ensure students feel confident on exam day.

I teach Portuguese literature in a structured and accessible way, adapting the texts to the student’s level. We analyze themes, characters, historical context, and language, while also improving vocabulary and writing skills. Ideal for students studying Portuguese literature or preparing for academic exams.

My DEPLE preparation classes are designed for advanced learners who want to refine precision, fluency, and academic or professional Portuguese. We work on complex texts, advanced writing, formal speaking, and exam simulations, always aligned with CAPLE assessment criteria.

For DIPLE preparation, I focus on advanced grammar, text interpretation, essay writing, listening comprehension, and structured speaking practice. I help students develop clear arguments, improve accuracy, and master exam-specific strategies.

When teaching Portuguese adjectives, I focus on meaning, gender and number agreement, position in the sentence, and common mistakes. Lessons include clear explanations, practical examples, and guided exercises, helping students use adjectives naturally and accurately in conversation and writing.
