About Me
italki teacher since Nov 24, 2021InterestsHistorySports & FitnessEnvironment & NatureArtMusic
I'm a 29-year-old language enthusiast currently living in Brazil and teaching on iTalki since 2021.
Raised across three countries, I grew up speaking German, Portuguese, Spanish, and Catalan—and later added English and Italian while living abroad. Now I'm diving into Greek!
Before teaching, I worked as an architect in Spain and Berlin, and backpacked through Chile and Argentina. I love connecting language to life through passions like slacklining, capoeira, surfing, guitar, theatre, philosophy, and cooking.Me as a Teacher
I tailor each lesson to your unique strengths, needs, and learning pace—because no two students are the same. My approach is rooted in an intuitive, hands-on teaching style developed through experience.
I focus on helping you truly understand how the language works, not just memorise words and rules. My goal is to make learning feel natural, meaningful, and connected to real life.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is flexible, interactive, and rooted in real conversation. I believe language is best learned through curiosity, cultural context, and spontaneous dialogue.
Grammar is introduced naturally, when needed, to deepen understanding. Depending on your level and preference, we can follow a structured path using grammar books and my own materials.
I often bring in music, books, and films for a more intuitive and immersive experience. Each student gets a personal Google Doc to track vocabulary, links, exercises, and notes—accessible anytime to support your learning journey.My teaching material

I have been taking Portuguese lessons with Bernardo for a couple of months now, and I am very pleased with his teaching method. He is always patient with me and takes the time to explain things in different ways until I understand. He is also kind and funny, making each lesson enjoyable and unique. Additionally, he assigns great homework that helps me practice what we have learned in class. I would highly recommend Bernardo as a Portuguese teacher.

Today I had my first lesson with Bernardo, after six months of barely speaking any German. The atmosphere built in the class was the best and I really felt comfortable to speak and make mistakes, so as to learn from them. He is a super friendly guy that seems genuinely interested in those that take lessons with him and I am already looking forward to our next lesson together!

Bernardo is a really great teacher! He is serious but also comes across as super friendly and someone you would enjoy have a conversation over coffee or something like that. He developed a lesson for the day based on my German background, which isn't very much but it's not zero. We covered grammar, I learned new vocabulary, and started reading a comic all in one lesson. To be fair, this was good for me and he asked if we were going too fast or not. He definitely would tailor the lesson to your speed, knowledge base, and comfortability. I also liked the fact that he speaks multiple languages, some of which I also speak, so he was able to explain concepts using examples in those languages that an English-exclusive speaker might not understand. I really liked that.
