My lessons & teaching style
I like dynamic classes and my method is to encourage the student to practice speaking through images, texts, games, music and videos.
I also like to use materials that improve the vocabulary of the Portuguese language, such as games, quizzes and drawings.
I love the culture of my country, Brazil, and I would love to get to know the culture of other countries.

Wagner is always supportive and upbeat. His lessons are very well prepared and imaginative, and you can tell he puts a lot of time into preparation. I've learned so much from him, and would strongly recommend him to anyone who wants to really move forward in learning Portuguese.

Completing nearly 200 Portuguese lessons with Wagner, I've had an enriching experience. Wagner is a master at teaching Brazil's official language, starting with initial sessions tailored to individual learning styles and language proficiency. As a university professor, he focuses on students' needs, offering diverse, creative classes blending conversation, reading, games, and cultural elements like film, art, music, and history. This approach enhances language skills and cultural understanding.
Wagner's dynamic classes are engaging and effective, showcasing his dedication and passion. Starting with no Portuguese knowledge, I now confidently understand and communicate in Portuguese after ten months of 2-3 hour lessons, three to four times weekly. Wagner's passion, creativity, and commitment make him an exceptional Portuguese teacher.

JUST WOW!! What an EXCELLENT Tutor and friendly person Wagner is!! Extremely detailed, invested and on point with the layout of the lesson. Wagner is the type of teacher that can take your Portuguese to a whole new level. It's no wonder he has such a faithful turnout of returning students. This is a phenomenal learning space to invest your time and effort and see the rewards. Thank you Wagner for such a wonderful first lesson. You are very gifted! See you at our next class!!

Finding Wagner has been one of the greatest blessings in my language journey. His unique approach turns what could be tedious into something unforgettable. Instead of overwhelming grammar drills, he brings Brazil’s culture, history, and spirit to life, making every lesson vibrant and meaningful. Through his stories and creativity, vocabulary and grammar flow naturally. Nearly 3 years and 300+ lessons later, I’m speaking full conversations, something I never thought possible. Wagner doesn’t just teach a language; he opens a whole new world with patience, kindness, and heart. If you believe learning a language has to be boring or impossible, Wagner will change that belief. Trust the process, trust him, you’ll be amazed at how far you can go. Thank you, meu irmão, for giving me not just a new skill, but a new piece of life to carry with me forever.
