Hello! I’m Ricardo Sampaio, a medical student and a language enthusiast! I’m Brazilian, from Fortaleza, and now living in São Paulo. I love helping students discover the music of Portuguese — whether through relaxed conversations or topics like literature (my Stephen King addiction can actually be useful in class!).
We connect sentence structure with your daily life, making each lesson unique.
Shall we learn through what you love?
Me as a Teacher
Our classes will focus on your speech. I will help you to find the best method to learn not only the language that you are learning, but any other. I'm a great listener so be prepared to talk a lot! I will do my best to motivate you in every class!
My lessons & teaching style
My classes will be based on the doubts and needs of each student, flowing as they arise. For this, I will use pedagogical tools (such as slides, pdf's, videos, etc.) to make teaching more dynamic and productive, so that students can achieve the results they want.
In addition, classes will be fluid and simple, adapted to each student's reality.
Be prepared to talk a lot :)

The lesson was super comfortable. A supportive environment was fostered where I felt like I could ask questions and make mistakes. I was also informed I could decide how I wanted lessons to go. I’m really grateful!

Ricardo always prepares materials relevant to my studies for each lesson which I find so useful for my language development. He's a kind, patient teacher with a great sense of humour. Thanks Ricardo!

Ricardo helpped me a lot and he is very kind and professional. I have improved my portuguese a lot during the time I learned with him.
