Private Portuguese and English classes for individuals and companies

From 21.42 £ /h

Hello! I'm Mafalda, a native Portuguese speaker. I've been teaching private Portuguese and English lessons to foreigners since 2010, at any level, for individuals and businesses. I also offer preparation for official Portuguese exams from the Camões Institute (from CIPLE to DUPLE) and English (GESE, IELTS, KET, PET, FCE, etc.) using language immersion techniques, CLIL methodology, audiolingual training, communicative and direct approaches, RFT, etc., always tailored to the specific needs of students' personal development, well-being, and learning.

Conversation classes (oral expression and comprehension): to gain fluency and improve your pronunciation, from beginner to advanced levels.

Grammar, vocabulary, written expression, and comprehension classes, from beginner to advanced levels.

I have experience teaching foreign languages in various educational and cultural contexts. I have worked in language schools, where I have taught classes to students of different levels, ages, and backgrounds, always adapting the content to their specific goals and needs. I have also participated in development cooperation programs such as the European Voluntary Service, offering language classes in international community projects. I have also worked independently, designing and teaching customized courses, both in-person and online.

I am meticulous, attentive, curious, and very patient, advocating a dynamic approach to language teaching with functionalist elements. I love art, film, and music, and I often integrate these elements into my classes as tools to enrich learning and spark interest in language and culture. My approach is communicative, practical, and focused on each student, with special attention to the development of oral expression and the cultural dimension of the language.

My academic background has provided me with knowledge in various areas of the Social Sciences (Philosophy, Education, Sociology, Law, etc.). I am a PhD candidate in Political Philosophy. I hold a Master's degree in Gender Equality and International Relations, and a Bachelor's degree in Political Science (University of Lisbon). I hold certificates from IELTS, Trinity College, Cambridge, and from studies at the British Council and Bath Academy.

Tell me a little more about what you're looking for, and don't hesitate to write to me if you have any questions or concerns. I'd be happy to help.

I'm a Spanish teacher with over 20 years of experience in education, and my goal has always been clear: to help students learn the language in a practical, natural, and meaningful way.

My teaching approach is centered around real-life situations, with a strong focus on speaking and oral expression. I use a modern, engaging, and student-friendly method that encourages communication from day one.

This class is designed for students who would like support with school English, entrance exams (up to university level), grammar, writing, and overall confidence using the language. Lessons are personalised based on each student’s level, goals, strengths and areas they would like to improve.

I can help with homework, grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, speaking, writing, exam preparation and improving overall performance in English at school. Lessons are suitable for students preparing for school exams, entrance exams, oral exams, or general English tests.

Having completed both IGCSEs and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) in an international school fully taught in English, I understand the challenges students often face when learning and using academic English in a school environment. I especially enjoy helping students not only improve their grades, but also become more confident and comfortable expressing themselves naturally in English.

Lessons are supportive, engaging, and adapted individually to each student. Depending on the student’s needs, classes can focus more on grammar and structure, speaking practice, exam preparation, academic writing, or developing stronger communication skills overall.

I offer relaxed, personalized English lessons for students of all ages and levels in Vienna. I tailor my lessons to your specific needs and goals, whether it’s exam preparation, proofreading, homework help, improving conversation skills, or simply becoming more confident speaking English in everyday life.

As someone who has been learning German since the age of 12, I understand how challenging and sometimes intimidating it can be to learn another language. My goal as a tutor is not only to help students improve their English skills, but also to create a supportive and open learning environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and having fun along the way.

I focus on making English feel natural, approachable, and enjoyable, with lessons adapted to each student’s interests, pace, and learning style.
