Both Brazilian and European Portuguese. We will start with the basic grammar of the Portuguese language. Depending on the pace and experience of the student, conversation will gradually take place in Portuguese. You will receive useful and practical tips to make learning the language even more fun.

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 :)

This course is for adults, expats, and professionals who want to learn or improve their European Portuguese, whether for personal, professional, or cultural reasons. European Portuguese has phonetic differences and is often spoken at a faster pace than Brazilian Portuguese, which can make listening comprehension more challenging. My goal is to help you understand, speak, and use the language confidently and naturally.

The sessions are fully customized to your needs:

Listening comprehension of European Portuguese

practical and contextualized conversation,

pronunciation, rhythm and intonation,

professional vocabulary (tourism, commerce, finance, legal),

preparation for real-life situations (meetings, trips, professional exchanges),

reading and understanding authentic documents.

Thanks to my professional experience of over 35 years as a business manager in Portugal, I have developed a thorough command of the language in its formal, administrative, and professional uses. I have also worked with students from diverse backgrounds, such as a simultaneous interpreter, a tour guide, and an international trade professional, each with specific language objectives.

Courses can be held in person in Geneva or online, depending on your preference. The approach is practical, structured, and results-oriented, so you can progress quickly and use European Portuguese in your daily or professional life.

Brazil has one of the largest economies in the world and a massive consumer market.
Brazilian Portuguese can help in industries like:
-agriculture and commodities
-aviation and engineering
-technology startups
-tourism
-international trade

Knowing the language transforms travel in places like:
Rio de Janeiro
Recife
Salvador, Bahia
São Paulo
Amazon Rainforest
Instead of staying in the tourist bubble, you can connect with locals and experience the culture more deeply.

>>If someone already speaks Spanish, French, or Italian, Portuguese becomes much easier.

Students will be able to understand each concept clearly and learn how to use it in everyday conversations and real situations. When needed, I can also help students prepare for exams and school assignments.

I also offer support in Portuguese with intermediate experience, especially for students who need help with schoolwork or basic language practice. My goal is to help students understand the language, practice it, and feel confident using it in their daily lives.

Learning a language means opening yourself up to new ways of being, living and interpreting the world around us.

With a degree in Portuguese and Literature from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), I offer support that goes far beyond simple grammar. My approach is rooted in creating a space for pluralistic dialogue, where your interests and worldview enrich each session.

I envision our sessions as an environment of exchange and freedom. Here, you are invited to express yourself with complete confidence, respecting your own pace and process of discovery. My role is to guide you through the organic logic of Brazilian Portuguese, using creative resources—exclusive visual aids, contemporary narratives, and interactive dynamics—that reflect the diversity and depth of real Brazil.

Together, we explore the nuances of Brazilian culture and literature in authentic contexts. I offer you a gateway to a vibrant culture and a new way of experiencing the language.
