About Me
italki teacher since Oct 28, 2021
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.
Me as a Teacher
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.
My lessons & teaching style
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 incredibly patient, relaxed, organized, and I really enjoy his lessons. He always calmly answers my questions precisely. I feel very lucky to have found him to help me on my journey to learning Portuguese. He is a very good teacher. Plus, I love the clarity of his voice.

I just had my first class with Carlos. I spoke very slowly and made tons of mistakes, but Carlos has the patience of a saint. He gave me gentle corrections and lots of new vocabulary. I really enjoyed our conversation. I would definitely recommend Carlos to others.

I've been learning from Carlos for quite a while now, and even then, keep picking up new things. Today he made an observation that was really helpful. Carlos speaking English and Spanish, as well as Portuguese has been very helpful to me in improving my Portuguese skills, because of the comparisons we are able to make both in similarities and differences. Thanks, Carlos!

This was a first lesson but Carlos was very patient and helpful. He provided many study techniques and strategies for my continued learning. Great teacher and wonderful experience. I will be continuing lessons with Carlos.
