InterestsMedical & HealthcareMusicTravelFoodHistory
Sou professor universitário há 26 anos, especializado em ensinar português de forma viva — misturo música, histórias brasileiras e situações do dia a dia para que você aprenda se divertindo. Além de educador, sou contador e um entusiasta de esportes (beach tennis e corridas me energizam!). Minhas viagens e paixão por filmes/séries sempre viram material de aula, porque acredito que idioma é sobre conexão humana. Adoro ajudar alunos a descobrirem o Brasil além das palavras, seja para trabalho, estudos ou simplesmente pelo prazer de aprender. Vamos conversar?

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.

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.

Wagner is always incredibly generous with his time and with the teaching materials he provides. If you’re interested in Brazilian culture, he’s truly the best guide you could hope for :) no one explains it with a warm smile and as much depth, passion, and authenticity as he does.
