Hello, I’m a teacher of Portuguese, English and French. My native language is Brazilian Portuguese and I am from the state of Goiás. I am in my last year of my Bachelor's degree in Languages (French and Francophone studies Major) and I’ve been living in the beautiful city of Bordeaux for a while. I also have a music background. Plus, I love languages and study Spanish, German and Mandarin as a hobby.

I have had a significant amount of teaching experience both during my time as a working professional outside of the academy and as a student with different age groups and levels in Portuguese, English and French. I started by being an English tutor at high school to high school and college students and later on as an English language teacher for beginner to advanced levels and facilitator of conversation classes at a professional school. In the beginning of 2020 I acted as an English teacher and conversation partner for children ages 4-12 (online) and started at another online school as a French as a foreign language (FLE) classes in small groups and at the individual level (levels A2-B2).

Language learning has to be fun, in my opinion. That’s why we will always talk about things that interest and inspire you. If we’re practicing grammar or just talking about something else, I want to make it interesting for us and link the grammatical and formal terms to real-life subjects. Therefore, your emotional filter will be open and as a result your journey will be fun and enriching.

I am a devoted language teacher, motivated by my passion for languages and my curiosity about diverse countries and cultures.

Language learning is an immersive journey that requires time and dedication. It not only enhances our understanding of language itself but also provides us with profound insights into varied cultures and worldviews. Consequently, it brings people closer together, enriching both our personal and professional lives. 

I firmly believe that customized lessons are the key to effective learning. That is why I exclusively offer one-to-one lessons for adults, ensuring that we can delve into topics that genuinely captivate your interest.

Throughout our classes, you will receive personalised feedback to optimise your progress. Together, we will employ an interactive platform, allowing us to write in real-time and complete exercises during the lesson. Following each session, you will have the opportunity to download materials containing pertinent corrections, texts, and detailed notes on grammar and pronunciation. Moreover, I will equip you with strategies and resources to facilitate self-study and continuous learning at your own pace.

Prepare yourself for dynamic lessons designed to foster independence and proficiency in language acquisition. We will focus on developing all four fundamental language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Furthermore, I will teach you idiomatic expressions and cultivate cultural awareness that will prove invaluable when travelling or engaging with native speakers.

At the conclusion of each lesson, you will receive a comprehensive report encompassing discussion notes, error corrections, and clear guidance on how to progress and maintain your knowledge. Your lessons will revolve around your unique needs and challenges.

If you aspire to enhance your language abilities and acquire effective study techniques tailored to your individual goals, do not hesitate to book a lesson now. Together, we will establish the foundations for building language skills that truly resonate with you.

Olá! My name is Carolina and it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Portuguese, and I have been teaching my mother tongue for over 5 years at university level. I like to diversify the materials I use as much as possible to focus on all different aspects of the language, but I tend to prioritize speaking practice. I have taught courses as diverse as Spoken Portuguese, Advanced Writing, Portuguese Culture/Literature, and even Sports Readings in Portuguese. Your language goals will always play a part when planning our lessons, so don't hesitate to tell me what you expect.

If you plan on visiting Portugal as a tourist or have Portuguese speaking friends/relatives you may prefer a conversational approach, but if you're interested in using the language for business, you may be interested in learning how to compose an e-mail in Portuguese (an underestimated art form). No matter what your motivation to learn Portuguese is, I am keen in hearing about it. I'll also try to accomodate your interests as much as possible.

If you are curious about the story of how I became a Portuguese teacher, read ahead:

I studied Modern Languages at the University of Coimbra (look it up; it's one of the oldest universities in Europe!) and Literature at the University of Glasgow (quite a stunner as well). One day, a Chinese friend at the pub asked me whether I'd like to apply to his home university, all the way in China, as a Portuguese lecturer. I said 'no way,' so naturally, I ended up moving there shortly after and living in the beautiful city of Harbin for 3 amazing years. Not only did that experience provide me with adventure, but also a lifelong calling: I have loved teaching ever since. After returning to Portugal, I taught for two years at Beijing Sport University (online). Now I work as a freelance online teacher and divide my time between Portugal and Sweden.
