About Me
italki teacher since May 5, 2020InterestsReadingTravelFilms & TV SeriesTechMusic
Hello, I'm Ricardo Henrique, a TEFL-certified teacher with experience in translation for multinational companies. I live in Sorocaba and teach English and Portuguese for various purposes: from business (architecture, engineering, medicine, aerospace) to IELTS preparation and life abroad. I speak Spanish, Haitian Creole, and a bit of Arabic, which enriches my lessons with cultural nuances. Besides teaching, I love cinema, travel, and music — always bringing fun topics into the classroom! My students have landed better jobs, passed exams, and even moved abroad. Shall we embark on this journey together?Me as a Teacher
I have worked on a wide range of translation projects, including magazines and videos from English to Portuguese, for a U.S.-based multinational company. While I still take on translation assignments, my true passion lies in teaching. Nothing is more rewarding to me than helping people improve their lives through language learning.My lessons & teaching style
I tailor each lesson to meet my students’ specific needs. Some of my students are doctors preparing for postgraduate studies in the United States. Others are focused on test preparation, while some are just beginning their language-learning journey. Each student has a unique goal, and I adapt my teaching to help them achieve it effectively.My teaching material

I highly recommend Ricardo as a Portuguese tutor. His teaching style is clear, engaging, and incredible effective! Thanks to his guidance, I was able to pass a Portuguese language test required by my company. An achievement that opened the door to exciting new professional opportunities. I couldn't have achieved this without his help!
Ricardo is patient, knowledgeable, and always focused on helping his students succeed. He goes above and beyond to make sure each lesson is personalized and productive. For anyone serious about learning Portuguese, Ricardo is an outstanding choice!
Muito obrigado por tudo!

I can’t express enough how grateful I am for Ricardo’s support. I needed to learn Portuguese for a professional/business setting, and he went above and beyond to ensure I was well-prepared. He’s consistently friendly, punctual, and thoroughly prepared for every session. I highly recommend his classes to anyone looking to learn Portuguese effectively and confidently.

I love that Ricardo know so much about his language that he can answer any question, whether it's about the dry book rules or regional slang. It's engaging and sticks to the mind better when I can fully understand something, rather than just memorize it. Thanks!

Um excelente professor, paciente, educado e gentil. Sempre inicio as aulas um pouco ansiosa por causa do idioma, mas ele conduz tudo de forma leve e fluida, o que torna o aprendizado muito mais tranquilo. Recomendo para todos que desejam aprender inglês, especialmente para quem tem receio ou insegurança. Ele demonstra uma verdadeira preocupação com as necessidades do meu aprendizado e isso fica evidente em sua forma de ensinar.
Thank you very much!
