I'm Teacher Vlad from Tropical Portuguese, I'm a Brazilian digital nomad from São Paulo. I love teaching and learning languages (currently, I'm studying Italian) and would love to share some of my knowledge and experiences with you!
Me as a Teacher
English
I have been teaching and learning from my students for the past 10 years. I started off as an all-around private tutor for teenagers preparing for the Brazilian version of the SAT and moved on to the classrooms with the same goal but to a bigger audience. From there I slowly got more and more interested in languages and combining teaching and my newly discovered passion for languages was a natural step.
This way, over five years ago I gave up Chemistry to pursue a career in language teaching and it has proven to be the best decision I have made so far for it has given me the opportunity to travel the world and discover more of myself.
My lessons & teaching style
English
Our lessons will be designed based on a communicative approach having in mind your immediate and long-term goals.
Português
Nossas aulas serão preparadas priorizando a comunicação, e não regras gramaticais, sempre tendo em mente seus objetivos imediatos e de longo termo.

I loved his class! He was really nice, supportive, and gave me recommendations for words and sentence phrasing. I hadn´t spoken Portuguese in ages and my level is quite low but he spoke clearly and was super patient. Thanks Vlad! :D See you next class!
