Oi, galera! Sou o Junior, carioca da gema, com um pé na tecnologia e outro nos games — e um humor sarcástico que torna tudo mais divertido. Adoro ajudar gringos a desenrolar no português enquanto falamos de viagens, esportes ou qualquer assunto que você curtir. Meu lema? Aprender rindo é aprender de verdade. Bora bater um papo sem pressão e descobrir como o português pode ser fácil (e engraçado)? Hey! I’m Junior from Rio, blending tech talk, sarcasm, and zero formalities to teach Portuguese. Think of me as your funny language buddy — we’ll chat about games, travel, or whatever while you learn naturally. Let’s keep it light and laugh our way to fluency!

Junior was exactly the kind of teacher I was looking for. Despite my basic Portuguese, we managed to communicate only in Portuguese even as he taught me new words and corrected my Portuguese. He helped create a relaxed environment for learning while talking, which is something I prefer over a 'classroom style' of learning.
I am writing this after our first session, and if anything changes, I will follow up later with another review.

Had my first class w/ Junior and it went great. He's very attentive, communicative, helpful and keeps the class energic and interesting. Highly recommend if you are looking to improve your conversation skills and understand Brazilian culture.

Junior is a phenomenal conversationalist! The pace is perfect and topics are very organic. Nothing is strained & there is no dead air time searching for idle conversation filler, it just flows! I really appreciate Junior's time (he's never rushed) and his style! A definite recommend for other students!! 😁😁👍👍
