About Me
italki teacher since Mar 27, 2020InterestsFilms & TV SeriesReadingPets & Animals
I’m Brazilian, I studied Languages Portuguese - French and I’ve been teaching both as foreign languages for almost 12 years.
I also love learning languages, and since I discovered Italki in 2019, I’ve been able to learn and practice German, Italian, Spanish and English with many different teachers.
I am currently learning Japanese here on Italki with a teacher from China.
I enjoyed the learning experience on Italki so much that I decided to teach my mother tongue and French here as well .
As a student and as a teacher, I developed many strategies to learn and teach foreign languages. I’m sure we will find a way to improve your language skills as much as possible.Me as a Teacher
Eu acredito que aprender uma língua é como nadar. Aprende-se fazendo. Não há sentido em aprender um monte de regras de gramática se você não praticá-las em uma conversação real. É por isso que nas minhas aulas eu ensino não apenas gramática e vocabulário, mas também crio situações nas quais meus alunos podem usar as estruturas novas.
I believe that learning a language is like learning how to swim. You can only learn it if you do it. There's no use learning lots of grammar rules if you can't practice them in a real conversation. That's why in my lessons I teach not only grammar and vocabulary, but I also create situations in which my students will be able to use the structures we see.My lessons & teaching style
Après avoir introduit de petites capsules de grammaire, on partira tout de suite à la conversation. L'objectif sera de travailler les thèmes de grammaire et le vocabulaire qu'on vient d'aborder lors d'une conversation très agréable et décontractée.My teaching material

Marcos is a great professor. He is very patient and thorough with his classes. He is also great at keeping the class on track, while still encouraging conversation practice. If anyone wants to learn Portuguese, I would highly recommend him!
