Brazilian Portuguese for Foreigners | Real Conversation, Natural Communication, and Fluency with a Native Teacher

From 12.31 £ /h

Hello, I’m Danilo.

I am a Brazilian Portuguese conversation tutor for foreigners, and I speak English and Spanish. I have a degree in Portuguese and English Languages.

I work with teenagers and adults who are looking for:

• Conversation practice
• Communication for real-life everyday situations
• Everyday language
• Practical vocabulary and expressions
• Natural communication
• Useful real-life phrases
• Improving pronunciation and fluency
• Confidence when speaking Portuguese
• A relaxed but focused learning environment
• Clear and detailed feedback

My methodology:
My classes are mainly focused on conversation, listening comprehension, and real communication in Brazilian Portuguese.

The focus of the lessons is to develop fluency, confidence, and natural communication skills through conversation. For this reason, I do not work with extensive writing exercises or overly theoretical lessons.

I create a comfortable environment where you can express yourself freely, make mistakes without fear, and develop fluency gradually and naturally.

Each lesson is personalized according to your level, interests, and communication style. Some students prefer free-flowing conversations, while others prefer more guidance and structured conversation practice — both are welcome.

In the trial lesson, we will talk about:

• Your goals
• Your current level of Portuguese
• Your strengths and areas for improvement
• Your interests and hobbies
• Your learning style

Based on this, we will develop a personalized practice plan for you.

What you will receive after the trial lesson in your Google Drive folder:

• Learning tips
• Personalized practice plan
• Materials used in the lesson
• Optional homework practice
• Lesson notes containing:

• Corrections on pronunciation, intonation, and grammar
• New vocabulary, phrases, slang, and expressions

Types of lessons:

Free conversation practice
Free-flowing conversation without a fixed topic. Ideal for students who want to speak naturally, develop fluency, and practice real communication with only light corrections and support during the conversation.

Guided conversation practice
Conversation with a light structure and a chosen topic. Ideal for students who want to practice speaking with more guidance, personalized feedback, and optional simplified grammar explanations.
The topic can be chosen by either the student or the tutor.

These lessons can also work for beginners (A1–A2) who want to develop speaking and communication skills from the beginning in a more natural and practical way.

After each lesson, you may receive in your Google Drive folder:

• Pronunciation, intonation, and grammar corrections
• New vocabulary, phrases, slang, and expressions
• Materials used in the lesson
• Optional homework practice

Learning a language is a gradual process, and my goal is to help you feel increasingly comfortable and confident speaking Brazilian Portuguese.

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

I'm a Natural Sciences student at the University of Birmingham looking to tutor science or maths online over the summer. I can tutor any level from KS1 - GCSE for physics, and KS1 - A Level for chemistry, biology, and maths. I aim to give confidence and enjoyment in the subject, working with my student's own interests as well as following a syllabus. I am flexible to work with what you want to achieve.

I have two years tutoring experience, especially with home-educated children, and can provide references if needed. I am DBS checked with GirlGuiding UK.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Firstly, this lesson ensures that you as a student feel at ease! We will first get to know each other a little bit, and then you can tell me what you expect/want in a lesson, or what you specifically need. Step by step, I will ensure you, that you as a student, will learn the Dutch language. You will come to me for different reasons, for example for an integration exam, or because you live temporarily as an expat in the Netherlands and want to learn the language, others enjoy it as a hobby and others come to the Netherlands for love... There are so many reasons! My lessons are tailored to your wishes, you indicate what you want, and I will help you with it, which will make you feel more at ease. From teenage to adult students, from beginner to advanced and in between, I enjoy teaching my classes all over the world! Curious?! Then I hope to see you in my class! Greetings Carolina

Learn real-life Levantine Arabic with a native Arabic speaker currently living in Lebanon.

This class is designed for beginners and intermediate learners who want to speak Arabic naturally in everyday situations. We will focus on practical conversation, pronunciation, useful daily expressions, and cultural context from Syrian, Lebanese, Palestinian, Jordanian, and general Levantine Arabic.

In the lessons, you can practice topics such as greetings, introducing yourself, family, food, ordering at a restaurant, directions, travel, daily life, common phrases, and simple conversations with Arabic speakers.

My teaching style is patient, friendly, and simple. I explain step by step and help students feel comfortable speaking, even if they are just starting. I can use basic English explanations when needed, especially for beginner students.

This class is suitable for learners who want practical spoken Arabic used across the Levant, especially Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan. The goal is to help you understand and speak Arabic in real-life situations, not only memorize grammar.
