Olá! Hi!
My name is Manuel and I am from Portugal.
I'm an experienced PLE teacher (PLE - Português como Língua Estrangeira - Portuguese as a Foreign Language)
I have a Bachelors Degree in "Fundamentals and Methodologies of Education" and more than 15 years of experience in the educational field.
I speak Spanish and English fluently.Me as a Teacher
My students often say that I am patient, friendly and at the same time always focused on helping the student to improve.
I adapt the lessons and teaching methods according to the learning style, goals and needs of each student.
I take my job very seriously, so I do my best to help each student make significant progress.
I know that learning a language can be very challenging, so I try to make the process of learning very interactive, fun and interesting. My lessons & teaching style
We are going to work on the 4 skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking.
All the lessons will have a focus on your speaking skills to help you improve your fluency and confidence.
Examples of some lesson plans:
1-Structured Course of European Portuguese (A1-C2)
2-Conversational lessons (B2-C2)
3-Portuguese for travelers (A1-A2)
4-Grammar and language structure: (A1-C2)
5-Test Preparation for your Portuguese Certificates (CIPLE; DEPLE e DIPLE)
If you have other goals, you can send me a message or let me know about them in our first lesson.
After each lesson, I will send you some notes to review and homework (if you want 😁)

Manuel is an excellent tutor who has taught me a huge amount about the Portuguese language and my experience of working with him is fantastic.
I have learned way more than I thought was possible and he opens up more and more layers of the language as we go on our journey together.
I was very lucky to find such a top language tutor. it is an absolute pleasure to spend time with him.

I love my lessons with Manuel. He always gauges the material perfectly and I know that he does a lot of preparation for my lessons (all lessons I’m sure). The material is interesting and there is always a great mix of conversation, listening, grammar etc. So happy to have hooked up with him for lessons

Another useful lesson: talking about Christmas and how we celebrate it. Discussion on types of food and Christmas entertainment.
We built sentences in multiple tenses on the fly and asked and answered questions in different tenses.
It was a useful session with a very good tutor.
