I have been working with language teaching since I moved to Sweden in 2017 and needed to learn the Swedish language. This has opened my mind not only to the necessity of acquiring language skills but also about how difficult it can be to catch all of a language’s nuances.
Here I will help you:
➡️ Talk with your family and friends abroad
➡️ Go from self-teaching apps to using the language in real life
➡️ Get approved on exams like CELPE-Bras
➡️ Learn Pronunciation, Accents, Grammar and Vocabulary in a conversational wayMy lessons & teaching style
Before moving on, scroll down and read my students’ reviews about my teaching style!
What you will definitely find when choosing me as your teacher:
✔️ Speaking a new language from Day One
✔️ Fun conversations or well structured lessons depending on your needs
✔️ The right amount of correction according to your level
✔️ A tailored lesson plan to help you reach your goals
✔️ Grammar structures breakdown without losing the flow of the lesson
✔️ …and way more!

Haroldo is an outstanding teacher!
I've been learning Portuguese with Haroldo for almost a year now. The lessons never get boring and the conversations feel very natural, like talking to a friend. Haroldo is super flexible with the classes and has very europe-friendly hours, which makes it super easy to find lesson times that suit your schedule.
I highly recommend Haroldo to anyone wanting to learn or improve Portuguese or English!

Haroldo is a wonderful teacher. He has lots of interesting ideas for conversation and adds just the right amount of error correction, vocabulary instruction and grammar knowledge without obstructing the flow of the conversation. This is the best way to learn another language.
