I am Brazilian and lived in the U.S. for ten years. I earned a bachelor's degree in Management Information Systems at Augsburg University in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I teach Portuguese and Spanish to private students. I am also a dance performer and teacher of Latin dances, such as samba, forró, zouk, bachata, salsa, and other rhythms. Between dance and language, I have over ten years of teaching experience. I love to talk about various subjects. Whether they’re based in abstract or concrete ideas, I am open to converse about anything.

Tôi với tư cách là giáo viên
I am an enthusiastic and patient teacher. I believe that anyone can learn a new language if they are willing to dedicate some effort outside of class time.
Phong cách dạy & bài học của tôi
I teach students at all levels and age. I have found that student-directed teaching is the most effective approach, and I tailor one-to-one instruction based on the student’s needs and interests. For the student who wants to be able to speak everyday Portuguese, I teach conversation, encouraging use of everyday speech, ‘real life’ contexts and pronunciation, over grammatical ‘correctness.’ We study texts and audios about Brazilian daily life and topics that are of interest to the student, and practice conversing. For students who need to develop their reading and writing skills in Portuguese, I work with them on texts emphasizing grammar, structure and more formal vocabulary.

Lesson was great, I can see my speaking is improving. Leo really makes a great effort to understand me, even if I use the wrong word more often than not he can piece it together and show me what I need to do differently. He is always happy to answer my questions about Brazilian culture as well. I am learning a lot with him!

Leo is upbeat and friendly! It was super fun to learn from him, and he gave me some really helpful tips about grammar/vocabulary. I couldn't imagine a better teacher than him - and I should know because I'm also a language teacher.

I can't recommend Leo highly enough. He's a very down-to-earth, kind person and an excellent teacher. He makes me feel totally comfortable expressing myself without being self-conscious about my mistakes.
