About Me

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
