Hello, my name is Daniel Costa de Oliveira and I was born in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.
From early on, one of my biggest passions has been to travel the world and connect with people.
I worked full-time as a Personal Trainer for four years, sold ice cream in parks during the summer and did catering jobs.
But the moments I feel happiest are when I am travelling, sleeping in hostels and connecting with people from different backgrounds with different stories

Me as a Teacher
As a student you can expect someone really chill with the desire to help you reach your language goals. Since the beginning i am used to connect with people so you can be very relaxed and with no need to be shy. Everyone does mistakes when trying to speak other language , that is normal, you probably notice some of them when reading this ahah
My lessons & teaching style
In our sessions you can expect a very informal learning. Basically we will be practicing your communication skills, talking about many different themes of your interest or proposed by me. If you are starting the language you don't need to worry. Using English as a bridge i will give you all the basic stuff that you need to start talking and get better.
Hopefully we can start this journey together

An excellent lesson – he is well-organized, patient, and clear. We are starting with the basics and it is exactly what I need.

Daniel has been so helpful! I began studying Portuguese with him about a month and a half ago, and I have already advanced so much. Thanks for your help Daniel!

Daniel is very encouraging and patient! I had several Portuguese teachers before (outside of italki). He is enthusiastic and very consistent. Daniel has that big welcoming smile that will make you feel comfortable during lessons. I highly recommend him as you will enjoy learning Portuguese from him. He understands English speakers very well. Daniel is my first teacher on italki and I had not explored others, since about 8 months ago. Muito Obrigada!

Been a student since 2021 and I can say that our conversations have evolved so much since day one. It has been an amazing ride learning Portuguese and I would recommend him for students of all levels for sure. Very supportive and 100% motivating. 🙏

Always excellent - in this class for conversation practice, we discuss current topics, with encouraging correction of my vocabulary, grammar and tenses etc.
