Living in Manchester? See Portuguese tutors' reviews & videos
Learning a language face-to-face with a tutor can be a fantastic experience. But if you're unable to find an affordable private Portuguese tutor in Manchester, you may want to consider learning online. To learn with a Portuguese tutor near you in Manchester, you'll have to either travel to the tutor's home, or pay more to cover their travel time; the average cost of receiving private Portuguese lessons in Manchester is over $20 per hour. Not only does learning online save travel costs, but you gain access to the best tutors from all over the world.
Whilst students sometimes prefer learning in person, the vast majority of students report being pleasantly surprised by the experience of learning with a tutor online. On LanguaTalk, lessons are taught 1-on-1 so that you receive your tutor’s full attention and can progress quickly. Lessons are taught via video call, allowing you to communicate with your tutor and share learning materials. You'll feel like you're in the same room with your tutor. Book a trial session and see if you agree!

Alice V
Professional Portuguese teacher with over 8 years of experience teaching foreigners.
Hello, my name is Alice and I'm Brazilian, I was born in the city of Rio de Janeiro. I currently live in Mexico and have dedicated myself in teaching my mother language, Portuguese, to foreigners. I am a Portuguese teacher graduated by a Brazilian University, which makes me able to offer my didactic knowledge in the teaching and learning of the Portuguese language to my students.
My classes are focused on the communicative method, to develop all 4 skills required to become fluent in a language (writing, speaking, listening and reading). I plan my classes dynamically, with scenes from movies/series, music, memes, lots of visual resources, games and also exercises so that my students can have fun, learn easily and not be afraid to speak. I try to create a friendly environment so that my students feel free to ask questions, participate and thus develop their knowledge of the language. I also speak English, Spanish and German, so that I can help my students in case of any doubts that cannot be clarified in Portuguese, but of course I always try to speak in Portuguese during my classes to develop speaking skills from the beginning. I love teaching my mother language and I believe in teaching the real language, the one that the student will really hear from a native speaker and that is why my classes are based on activities, vocabulary and teaching techniques that mix the playful with the traditional methods in balance so that all students achieve excellent knowledge and full practice of the language.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to find a Portuguese tutor near me in Manchester?
If you're really not keen on learning with a teacher via video call, LanguaTalk isn't going to be the right choice for you. You can instead search for a tutor on a local service listing website, or put up an advert in your local area. We do encourage you to give it a try learning online though - you've got nothing to lose as you can book a free trial session. Most people find the experience is as good as learning face-to-face, but with the benefit of having access to better tutors at a lower cost.
How does learning with a tutor via video call differ from learning face-to-face with a Portuguese tutor in Manchester?
Sometimes students tell us that they're not sure about learning Portuguese online because they think it’ll be completely different to learning face-to-face. But usually when they try it, they find that the experience is almost the same and they often build a solid relationship with their tutor.
Once you start a video call with your chosen tutor, you’ll be able to communicate with them as if you were in the same room. The tutor will typically also share learning resources with you (newspaper articles, YouTube, etc.) and you’ll be able to collaborate in real-time using a tool like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper.
How much do Manchester Portuguese tutors charge per hour?
Our research suggests that the average cost for private Portuguese lessons in Manchester is somewhere between $25-$35 per hour. As online tutors do not need to travel to you and they often live in countries with a lower cost of living, the hourly cost tends to be significantly lower.
Do any of the tutors on LanguaTalk also provide Portuguese lessons in Manchester?
Tutors on LanguaTalk sometimes provide lessons locally, but most only provide online lessons as it is more convenient and allows them to work from home. In addition, most tutors are not teaching Portuguese in Manchester because they're living elsewhere in the world. If you decide to book with a tutor, you should assume that they can only teach you online.
What are the best options for receiving Portuguese lessons in Manchester?
Whether you live in the city centre or the suburbs of Manchester, there are many options for learning Portuguese. You could use an app or a software program if you're looking to pick up basic vocabulary and learn some grammar rules. Alternatively, you could attend group lessons with Portuguese tutors in Manchester if you're keen for a social experience. Or, you could take 1-on-1 lessons with a private tutor. This isn't the cheapest way to learn a language but it's possibly the most effective, assuming you have a good tutor. Learning online rather than face-to-face may make private tutors a more affordable option. Check the tutor profiles above to see how much it's likely to cost. Prices vary a lot depending on the tutor, but will usually be cheaper than learning with a Portuguese tutor in Manchester, face-to-face.
The beauty of taking lessons online is that you can learn anytime, anywhere. When you choose a tutor, just check their calendar to make sure that they have available times that fit your schedule. Some tutors have limited availability as they already have a lot of students.
New to LanguaTalk? We'll give you a credit for a free trial session. Many, but not all, tutors offer these for free. If they do not, the price will be just 30 percent of their full lesson price, so you can still try a session at minimal cost.
Trial sessions last 30 minutes. They allow you to assess whether the tutor is a good fit for you, and get a feel for learning online. The tutor will assess your level and aim to understand your needs and interests so that they can customise any lessons you decide to take. You'll be encouraged to speak in Portuguese as much as possible, but of course you can speak in English too!
If, after your trial session, you don't feel that the tutor is quite right for you, you can book a trial with another tutor for just 30 percent of their full lesson price.
Lessons are taught 1-on-1 so that you receive your tutor’s full attention and can make fast progress. Communicating via video call, you’ll be able to talk to your tutor and share learning materials as if you were in the same room.
The tutors vary in terms of their teaching methods, resources, experiences, and personalities. So we suggest you look at several profiles to choose the best tutor for you. Whichever Portuguese tutor you pick, they'll aim to tailor the lessons to your individual needs.
The vast majority of students take 55-minute lessons. But some tutors also provide the option of 30-minute lessons. If they do, you’ll see this noted on their profile (below their pricing and above the ‘Buy Lessons’ button).
55-minute lessons are recommended for most students. In general, we only suggest considering 30-minute lessons if they’re for your child, or you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice.
On LanguaTalk, you can find exceptional tutors for 1-on-1 Portuguese lessons tailored to your goals and learning preferences. Here’s how to try it for yourself:
1 - Find your ideal tutor by browsing videos, reviews, pricing and availability.
