Struggling with Portuguese confidence or progress? Let’s change that!
I specialize in helping learners speak *naturally*—whether you’re a beginner or refining fluency. My multicultural background (French-Italian roots + German exposure) gives me a deep understanding of language challenges.
When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me exploring curious things or exploring history—both passions that fuel my dynamic lessons.
Ready to speak Portuguese with ease? Let’s turn your goals into reality. Book a lesson now!Me as a Teacher
I have some rules I want to follow with my students:
- Be always kind, polite, generous, and honest with my students;
- Valuing what my students already know about Portuguese;
- Help with any kind of mistakes in a polite manner;
- Always be available when they needed me; My lessons & teaching style
- CLASSES -
+ SPEAKING SESSION - That's the way most used to know about our difficulties in any language. In this session, we'll try to better your speaking, pronunciation, and simple grammar, which will allow you to master your Portuguese.
+ CULTURE EXPERIENCE - How you may know, my country has so many accents from different regions all over Brazil. And every single accent has different expressions, words, and also ways of speaking.
Paulista accent, from São Paulo; Carioca accent, from Rio de Janeiro and Gaúcho.
+If what you are searching has someting to do about speaking with confidence, letting someone help you to improve your listening, accent, I am the right person for You.My teaching material

Very good class this morning ! Leo goes above and beyond while trying to share everything that he can with the student - he gives great tips and provides different resources for improving pronunciation and conversation- he shares a lot of tactics that he used on his own language learning journey.
I can’t wait to try some of the things that he recommends!

I have gone from zero Portugese (like I can not even read the letters) to being able to recognize basic words and some phrases in just two lessons. I think Leo is a great tutor and great motivator. What I like the most is that he has me repeat words until I sound correct. I am grateful for that.
