About Me
italki teacher since Oct 1, 2021InterestsReadingFilms & TV SeriesGamingWritingPets & Animals
I am Ryan, a native of Salvador, Brazil, with a deep passion for languages and cultural exchange. My approach to teaching Portuguese is dynamic and immersive, leveraging authentic materials like films, music, and Brazilian narratives to create an engaging learning experience.
Fluent in English and French, I ensure clear communication and a comfortable environment for learners at all levels. Currently expanding my linguistic repertoire with German, I bring firsthand empathy for the challenges of language acquisition.
Beyond teaching, I enjoy Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, cinema, and literature, often integrating these interests into lessons for a relatable and enjoyable experienceMe as a Teacher
Whether youâre a beginner, intermediate, or advanced learner, my role is to make Portuguese feel effortless. Iâll help you learn naturally, focusing on what truly matters:
âïž Communicate fluently (written and spoken) in real-life situations.
âïž Express yourself confidently about your passions and interests.
âïž Expand your vocabulary organically â no memorization required.
âïž Grasp cultural nuances textbooks donât teach.
My promise: every lesson will be engaging and tailored to your pace. My lessons & teaching style
Your comfort during our lessons is my top priority!
Is there any topic youâd prefer to avoid? Am I speaking too fast or too slow? Just let me know! The fewer barriers there are, the faster youâll progress. âš
My classes are completely flexible: if you prefer, you may choose the topic, pace, and even the materials. I love using songs, movies, etc.
Want to practice conversation? Great! Prefer to focus on grammar? Letâs do it! And how about learning through play? I use games like âGuess Who?â and âDescribe the Imageâ to mix fun and learning. A bit of adrenaline won't hurt! Challenge yourselfâthe more you engage, the quicker youâll see results.

ReceptionistHospitality is a job field that I reluctantly began working and I felt in love. Dealing with tricky situations, a lot of pression and very picky people are some of the biggest challenges I discovered while working on a 4â hotel, but is also an opportunity to grow and prove myself.
Practicing the languages I speak (or am learning), meeting people from all over the world with different accents and backgrounds is worth more than what my offensively low monthly wage can buy đ

Great first class today with Ryan! Good back and forth conversation! I felt that I had a great balance between listening and speaking during conversation and the feedback/ corrections with explanation were right on time !
