Living in Lisbon, Portugal

I love languages and they are so important in my life! I have a degree in English and German Studies (Modern Languages and Literatures) from the University of Coimbra in Portugal, with top grades. I studied one year at Universität zu Köln in Germany (Erasmus program), I am a native speaker of Portuguese (European, but well aware of the differences between Brazilian and European Portuguese), and I speak Spanish fluently (DELE C2). I teach four languages but I've learned more than ten. I am also a researcher and teacher in the tourism field, and my current research interest is language tourism. I have professional teaching experience in Portuguese, German, English and Spanish, with good results and satisfied students. I have lots of experience with individual tutoring or tutoring in small groups. I am very patient and also very enthusiastic about languages. This might be contagious, so be careful :-) I customize lessons to students' preferences, needs and learning styles. I provide lots of learning material, and students can get homework if they wish. As a teacher, I consider that I am particularly good at explaining grammar and language, helping with pronunciation and reducing the influence of other languages on students' target language. Since I am a very active language learner myself, I can understand very well the challenges students face and help them successfully overcome them. I am a mom to an 11-month-old baby girl and I speak German to her!

Superb lesson! I took a 30 minute trial lesson and it was the best language class lesson I've had. Inês is easy to talk to, good teaching materials and adapted the lessons to my specific needs. I'm booking more lessons now! A aula era ótimo! Tive uma 30 minutes aula de ensaio com Inês e era o melhor aula que tenho tido. É fácil falar com a Inês, tem bons materiais de ensinar e adaptou a aula para às minhas necessidades. Estou à reservar mais aulas agora! Muito obrigado

A clear 5/5 stars. Ba far my best experience with Portuguese lessons. She got me talking a lot and managed to sneak in valuable feedback without interrupting the flow of the conversation.

I'm so happy that I could complete all my portuguese language challenge lessons with Inês. She's a great teacher, very organized and patient with my recurring mistakes and mix ups. Also her being a polyglot greatly helps me since we can rely on our shared knowledge of other languages. I recommend her to everyone who wants to learn portuguese.
