About Me
italki teacher since Oct 30, 2017InterestsEnvironment & NatureMusicTravelScienceHistory
Olá! I’m André, a dedicated European Portuguese teacher from Porto, Portugal.
With years of experience, I’m here to help adult learners achieve their language goals. Whether you’re preparing for travel, work, or just want to experience the joy of speaking Portuguese fluently, my lessons are crafted to make learning enjoyable, effective, and relevant to your goals.
When I´m not planning or having lessons, I spend my free time listening to podcasts, reading, riding my bike.
I enjoy engaging conversation with my students about a variety of topics but there are my favorites: cultural aspects, travel, geography, food, music, cinema, science, nature and sustainability.
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I focus on understanding each student’s unique strengths and challenges. My approach is supportive and interactive, encouraging students to feel comfortable as they progress at their own pace.
I believe learning should be an enjoyable journey, and I strive to create a welcoming environment where you’re motivated to practice and explore the language without hesitation.
My passion for European Portuguese and commitment to your progress will ensure that each lesson is both valuable and engaging. My lessons & teaching style
Typical lessons blend conversational practice with grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation exercises tailored to your specific needs. I emphasize real-world communication, providing tools that allow you to navigate confidently in everyday situations.
Classes are highly interactive, with plenty of time for speaking, listening, and practical exercises. I also incorporate cultural insights into my lessons, giving you a well-rounded understanding of the language in its authentic context.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or an advanced learner, I offer a structured yet flexible approach, adapting each lesson to your learning style and goals.My teaching material

André explains any topics that I don't understand ver clearly in a way that makes sense. The pacing of the lessons is also very good, in the lesson itself and for my progress as a whole. Highly recommend him as a tutor!

I always give André great reviews, but today he went above and beyond! We were having an appliance delivered right when we started that took me away for 15 minutes, and he kept the lesson going until we had done our full hour. Huge thank you to André!
