Oi, tudo beleza? My name is Felipe, I'm 36 years old, and I'm a Portuguese teacher for foreigners. I speak English and Spanish, a result of my love for languages and for traveling the world. I've lived in Costa Rica and Brazil, where I was born, and today I live in Lisbon.Me as a Teacher
Eu já ensino português fora do Brasil há 5 anos, seja on-line e presencialmente. Minha principal característica é usar toda a minha experiência teórica e prática para fazer você atingir a proficiência em português de uma maneira sólida e consistente. Vamos trabalhar com dedicação, empenho e técnica até que você cumpra o seu objetivo de se comunicar bem.

I’ve been teaching Portuguese outside of Brazil for 5 years now, both online and in person. My main approach is to use all of my theoretical and practical experience to help you reach Portuguese fluency in a solid and consistent way. We’ll work with dedication, commitment, and technique until you achieve your goal of communicating well. My lessons & teaching style
Eu acredito que se você quer comunicar bem em um idioma, você precisa trabalhar com elementos autênticos criados naquele idioma, tais como poemas, artigos, vídeos e músicas, por exemplo. Com isto em mente, eu preparo aulas baseadas em gramática e em conversação usando estes materiais genuínos como ponto de partida.

I believe that if you want to communicate well in a language, you need to work with authentic materials created in that language, such as poems, articles, videos, and songs, for example. With this in mind, I design lessons based on grammar and conversation, using these genuine materials as a starting point.My teaching material

Really good, enthusiastic teacher who structures things well but also adds his own unique touch. In particular, I’ve really enjoyed Felipe’s use of Brazilian songs for illustrating vocabulary and tenses etc in context. It’s really fun, broadens my vocabulary and has given me a whole new corpus of music to listen to!

La lezione introduttiva mi è piaciuta molto. Sono stato in grado di raccontare a Felipe perché sto imparando il portoghese e come vorrei strutturare le nostre lezioni insieme. Felipe è molto simpatico e si è dimostrato subito aperto ad adattare le lezioni alle mie esigenze specifiche. Ha anche trovato il tempo di spiegarmi in maniera chiara alcune peculiarità della pronuncia portoghese. Grazie en alla prossima!

Gracias por todo, Felipe! A todos los hispanohablantes que quieran aprender portugués, lo recomiendo sin duda. Felipe no solo es hablante nativo, sino que tiene formación en la enseñanza del idioma, y eso se nota mucho y marca la diferencia. Su ayuda con la pronunciación, junto con los consejos y tareas, te hacen mejorar. Además, entiende el español perfectamente, lo que facilita mucho el proceso de aprendizaje. Estoy muy contenta con las clases. Muito obrigada! :-)
