Hi!
My name is Carlos, I'm 31 years old and I'm from Coimbra.
I graduated in Management in the University of Coimbra. I'm currently working as a salesman, selling telecommunication's products.
I did volunteering work in hostels in London and Malaga. I did it because I love meeting people from other countries with different cultures. So volunteering in hostels was a great way to experience that.
In my free time I like reading, watching movies and series, stand-up comedy, cooking, eating what I cooked (that's the best part!), doing yoga, exercising, trekking in the mountains, swimming, spending time with friends and family. All simple things but that give me a lot of joy.
Ich als Lehrkraft
As a teacher I always try to make the process of learning fun and enjoyable to the students.
I customize the lessons depending on what are the goals that the students want to achieve. Because in the end, their goals become my goals.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I use methods that allows students to learn the language as natives do, using videos, audios and writing-form materials.
That way they learn the language as a whole and don't focus too much on specific parts like grammar or vocabulary. Unless that's their target goal, meaning improving grammar by instance. In that case, and in any other one, the lessons and exercises will be customized to achieve that specific goal.
Carlos is a very good teacher (having been a teacher myself for over two decades, it's fair to say I can tell the difference).
He is totally engaged, listening carefully to the student, and invested in having the student learn the correct way to learn and use Portuguese, including the grammar, pronunciation, enunciation, context, etc. while guiding the student throughout.
His energy is soft, and as mentioned, very engaged and alert; never shying away from correcting the student whenever necessary, so from the start, one is set on the correct path of learning.
I highly recommend him!! Muito Obrigado, Carlos!

I can’t say enough good things about Carlos. He’s just extremely patient and he goes very slowly so that I can understand every word and every kind of difficult accent and he just has a very calm presence that makes it easy to learn. I was very lucky that I just happened to pick him out of so many teachers. My wife was listening in and now she’s interested in taking lessons from Carlos.

Carlos was very encouraging and professional in his guidance, while always being on top of it whenever I mispronounced a word or made a grammatical error, which is something I very much appreciated. He has a soft touch and an understanding disposition with careful listening abilities: two very important qualities for being a good teacher or tutor. Muito Obrigado!
