have a post-graduate qualification in Portuguese and have experience
of teaching students from many different countries, the majority of
whom have been business executives arriving in Rio with little or
no knowledge of Portuguese. While I myself can speak English, Spanish and French, I find effective to conduct lessons in Portuguese only. I teach on a one-to-one basis, always trying to make my classes as interactive as possible. I tend to concentrate on language orientated either towards business or everyday practical situations, but I am always happy to adapt my lessons in accordance with individual requirements. Often I incorporate lessons into visits to restaurants, churches, theatres and other places of interest in Rio. While obviously my priority is improve students’ Portuguese, I believe that providing an insight into the local culture is important in helping students to feel at home in Rio as quickly as possible.
