Ryan Almeida 🇧🇷

First lesson with Ryan was great, it felt just like talking to a friend I've known for years. His encouragement was really helpful in making me feel comfortable in speaking Portuguese. I would definately recommend him is a teacher.

Ryan is an incredible teacher. He pays close attention to your needs and tailors plans to your skillset. He's very understanding of different struggles while learning and does his best to make sure you feel comfortable throughout the entire lesson. What I like the most is that he takes his time to write down every word you don't understand and provide definition, examples, and other helpful resources within a google doc. He is always on time and when I was late not only did he wait for me to arrive, but he also still allowed me to partake in the full hour of my lesson which is often not allowed elsewhere. I would recommend Ryan to anyone learning Brazilian Portuguese. We've covered reading, podcast, speaking, listening, and video material in just our 3 lessons so far. Can't wait to continue seeing my progress on this journey !

Ryan’s methods of using different kinds of “videos and genres” is an exciting way for me to gain stronger understanding of Portuguese. It’s an interactive way for me to learn and retain. I’m utilizing the methods and suggestions that he teaches so that I can gain further confidence interacting with Brazilians that I meet here in the States.

i appreciate the patience Ryan has in his lessons. i’m not the easiest to work with because my portuguese is horrible at the moment but he takes the time to correct and inform in a positive way 🤝🏾💯

Ryan is a good teacher/coach gently pushing me to a higher level in my vocabulary, sentence structure, grammar. In a real world context that keeps me encouraged, hopeful and gaining more and more confidence in my Brazilian Portuguese language learning journey!!

It’s a delight to breakdown the language in a way that I can digest and understand. Ryan’s methods are building my confidence.
