Hello! I’m Ricardo Sampaio, a medical student and language enthusiast — a Brazilian from Fortaleza, now living in São Paulo. My mission? To make your Portuguese learning feel as natural as a conversation between friends!
With me, you combine the useful with the enjoyable: from relaxed everyday dialogues to medical terminology (yes, I can help prepare you for hospitals, for example!). Each class is tailored to your pace and interests — literature, films, music, and more.
Want to discover how Portuguese can become part of your daily life? Let’s do it!
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!

Another very cool class with Ricardo! We didn’t use any structure to guide our conversation because we didn’t need one- we just let the conversation flow while we exchanged ideas and opinions about our different experiencies that we’ve at school and outside of school.
I feel like the conversation flowed very well during 60 minutes without any problem- I made my mistakes but Ricardo is very patient and is a great listener- the class space felt free and safe!
