TEFL-certified TeacherđŸ”„To touch the mind we must first touch the heartđŸ”„ My name is Hugo and I'm from Brazil. I specialize in accent reduction and help people to get a more Brazilian carioca accent. (carioca = from Rio de Janeiro) I have lived in France for 8 years and also teach French. I'm a professional Brazilian Zouk teacher as well.I have travelled around the world and have taught in almost all European countries. Check out my channels for more content in Portuguese: - Instagram (@thecariocateacher) - YouTube (The Carioca Teacher) I focus on the way Brazilian Portuguese is spoken since it is what most students lack. They may learn to read and write but often speak with difficulty or struggle to understand Cariocas, when they come to Rio. For this reason, I will make you work hard on speaking Brazilian Portuguese with the right pronunciation and intonation ! I teach proper language as well as slang, and I use music, videos and articles to help you reach your goals. I focus on the way Brazilian Portuguese is spoken.

Hugo is an awesome teacher whose lessons are a lot of fun. He encourages me to step out of my comfort zone and uses creative approaches to help my Portuguese sound more natural such as teaching me slang and colloquialisms as well as having me sing along to Brazilian music. Hugo will definitely help you understand Brazilians and improve your communication.

I’m SO glad that I came across Hugo as I was searching for a Portuguese tutor! It was meant to be. I could tell from his profile that he is very dedicated to his students accomplishing their goals. And I was right! Not only is he a great tutor, he has a positive energy and enthusiasm for each class. It has been an enjoyable experience learning Portuguese with Hugo and I will continue my lessons until my trip to Rio de Janeiro. He has helped me a lot with my pronunciation and accent. I really like how he incorporates slang and culture into our lessons. I feel like I have a personalized lesson because Hugo customizes our lessons based on my interests and what I need the most help on. I’m really grateful that I came across his profile and I have confidence that I will become a fluent speaker! :)

Hugo is the kind of teacher that makes you forget you are studying. Learning Portuguese has become a super fun experience. I recommend Hugo to everyone wanting to learn fast. His optimistic worldview will make your day better and your Portuguese ready for Brazilian adventures. I've been having a lesson couple of times a week now for some months, and I'm still waiting in excitement before every lesson!
