Portuguese lessons with experienced language teacher

For travelling, business purposes, or just for fun, learning Portuguese can open different doors for you. From the joy of reading Fernando Pessoa in his original language to relaxing in tropical beaches while able to understand the locals.

I am an experienced language teacher and current a professor in Rotterdam. I would like to fill out some of my time doing what I like the most - teaching my own language. I offer lessons of Brazilian Portuguese tailored according to your needs.

Before beginning the classes, we can schedule an intake meeting in a public location. So we can get to know each other and make an assessment of your needs and level, then we can select the appropriate material to start.
