About Me
My name is Catarina, I am a cellist who lives in Geneva and I graduated from two Masters at the Haute Ecole de Musique.
I offer private cello lessons for all levels and types of music who would like to learn and know more about this instrument.
I love sharing my knowledge and taste for music in general. I have already lectured in schools in Portugal and participated in an educational exchange between the HEM of Geneva and the Neojibá project in Brazil.
At the moment, I am doing a pedagogical training in Bussigny to improve my teaching experience and my knowledge and tools. This is a job that I like a lot more for his mutual exchange between teacher and student.
All these educational experiences enrich me as a musician and a person, and I am someone profissional, responsible and for whom the human side in learning is very important.

I look forward to meeting you!

Thank you!

Cello lessons for all levels. Also helps with music theory and the theoretical foundations of music.
I offer private cello lessons for all levels and types of music, always with the student in mind, his personality, his skills and his desires. The goal is to advance the student at his own pace, with high demands but without overburdening. He is free to bring these scores and his solo or orchestral and chamber music pieces. I always try to adapt to the person I have in front of me. A lot of benevolence and always seeking pleasure for what we do.
I can give classes at home, but also move to the student's home.

Eu sou Teacher Teodora, uma apaixonada pelo inglês que transformou essa paixão em uma carreira dinâmica, criando a escola de inglês online, a Star English Brasil! My approach as a Portuguese tutor is student-centered, with highly interactive lessons that prioritize practical, motivating learning to build your confidence from day one. As a bilingual native Brazilian married to an American, I unlock the full spectrum of Brazilian Portuguese, from street-smart slang like "beleza!" (awesome!) and casual lingo such as "vamos nessa" (let's go) for vibrant beachside banter, to polished professional vocabulary for the business world—like "relatório financeiro" (financial report), "estratégia de mercado" (market strategy), or sealing deals with "acordo mútuo" (mutual agreement). I use techniques like real-life dialogues, from São Paulo boardrooms to Rio beaches, and collaborative exercises to weave grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation across this dynamic range. What sets my lessons apart is their total flexibility for all levels—from beginners nailing informal greetings with a tropical twist to advanced pros prepping for executive pitches—infused with my bilingual insights that bridge American directness and Brazilian nuance for seamless mastery. Why study with me? I empower you to navigate everything from friendly small talk to high-stakes negotiations, tracking progress and fueling motivation through dynamic interactions. Your journey to versatile, authentic Brazilian Portuguese starts here!

My name is Nicolas, and I am a Brazilian Portuguese teacher with eight years of teaching experience. I have been speaking Portuguese for about ten years now. I learned the language while living in Brazil for several long periods, both for study and work. I am currently living there again.

Having also gone through the process of learning to speak this language, I am well aware of the different stages my students go through. This helps a lot.

My lessons are tailor-made to achieve personal goals and are adapted to the specific needs of each student.

Practice is prioritized throughout the learning process in order to gain autonomy as quickly as possible. Grammar is also covered, depending on the student's level.

This course is aimed at:
- Beginners (basics, conversation, travel);
- Intermediate/advanced learners (improvement, exam preparation);
- Professionals (business Portuguese, interview preparation).

Currently based in Brazil, I am teaching my classes online. I will be back in Geneva in mid-December for in-person classes.

Please don't hesitate to contact me for more information.

Looking forward to hearing from you :)
