👉 I’ve been researching the psychology and fundamentals of language, having done post graduations courses in Neuroscience and Applied Linguistics.
With a background in acting and art, my experience has made me one of the few teachers that can provide a variety of ways of learning Portuguese with a keen eye to notice precisely how to help my students.
I use a mix of the techniques I learned in those fields to bring a unique language-learning experience. 🔮
Also, this is a free and safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community :)

Me as a Teacher
I've worked with students of many different levels and throughout the years I've noticed that I work best with students who really want to take their Portuguese to the next level, either if it's for business or for those who wish to speed up the fluency process.
Everyone has a different need when learning and finding the right path and approach to help you is my priority. After having students completely different from each other, I developed an adaptable style that can fit right into your (right now) needs.
I want to see your progress and guide you during your journey, meanwhile making sure I understand your strengths and weaknesses so I can help you the best way I can.
My lessons & teaching style
I like to work in a methodical and structured way and although my approach is technical, the actual class is light and easy to digest the information, this is one of my goals: divide the learning process into comprehensible steps, building solid knowledge in Portuguese.
I divide my teaching method into advanced conversational and personalized classes, which you can learn more about them in the lesson segments.
Additionally, I bring my 100% to every class to make you comfortable and the most efficient as possible, always conducting the classes with a smile & positivity.
It's cliché, but your goal is also my goal: you being fluent in Portuguese.

The first lesson with Erick was amazing. We had a nice and fun conversation, he listened to me carefully, so I could practice a lot. I will definitely take more lessons. Thank you, Erick!

I am so glad I found Erick here and filled out that first contact. I cannot imagine this year without his guidance. Erick is one of the kindest and most sharing teachers I have ever had. I am immensely grateful for everything he has done. Thank you, Mr. Tavares and see you next year!

Absolutely AMAZING lesson with Erick! I have studied Portuguese for a long time and work with several great tutors, but Erick really gave me some awesome tools to use to get me to the next level. I have no doubts that I will be able to really achieve my goals now. THANK YOU, ERICK!!! :-)
