Portuguese (PT) for Foreigners with a native speaker :)

1) General Information
We will cover the following five skills:
-Reading
-Oral comprehension
-Grammar
-Written expression
-Oral expression


2) How will we organize our classes?
I suggest that we start by reading a text for training the pronunciation and for acquiring more vocabulary. We will not do an exhaustive analysis of the text (which is something I may suggest in the context of a homework).

We will proceed with grammar: I will introduce you to the topic (e.g., verb tense), followed by some exercise solving.

If we have time left, we will finish the class with either:
-A dictation exercise to practice listening comprehension and writing
-An informal conversation to practice oral interaction

Obviously, we can change this plan and/or its order to suit your learning needs and ensure you come to classes motivated and interested!


3) What about homework?
I suggest one of the following (if you have enough time between classes, we can combine them):
-Translating and/or writing a text
-Reading a text and answering some questions to practice reading comprehension
-Completing grammar exercises

Extra information

Study Materials: will be provided by me, divided for each class and stored in a Drop Box file, so they are always easily accessible.

About Me

Hello!
I’m a young Portuguese lady and I hold a Degree in Law. For the past two years, I've lived in Izmir, Madrid, Warsaw, Vienna and Stockholm, in this order, to study or work.

*
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE
I have a strong passion for travelling and learning more about the political, social and economic realities of today’s societies.
But one degree, three internships, five legal publications and a job later, I realized Law remains a very traditional field where remote work and flexible hours are yet to be widely and regularly implemented.
Ultimately, I was spending more time at the office instead of doing the things that make me genuinely happy and fulfilled – getting to know cultures, connecting with interesting people, being adventurous, independent and free!
For these reasons, I shifted my career and life approach for the upcoming years. I started searching for different opportunities, as a Volunteer and Freelancer, without the downsides of a 9-5 schedule and the overwork culture I experienced.

*
WHAT I'M DOING NOW
I’m happily teaching Portuguese online.

Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.

Relaxed Chats in English with Ryan the Australian/South African - Improve Your Confidence in English
The purpose of our chats/classes is to increase your comfort and confidence with speaking English. Learning any language takes dedication and persistence, but I will help make it easier for you. The more you hear English spoken, and the more you try to speak it, the faster you will recognise the sounds, and the more confidence you will gain. It starts with feeling totally comfortable to try, and to make mistakes. And that's where I can help. ABOUT ME My family tree has its roots in England. I grew up in Mandela's beautiful South Africa. I later spent 9 years "Down Under" in Dronning Mary's magnificent Australia. Then marriage brought me to the lovely Kingdom of Denmark :-) I'm not a trained English teacher, however: - I scored 8.5 (Expert) on the IELTS test - I love to teach and explain - I'm super-patient and caring - My accent is easy to understand Let's have some relaxed and interesting chats to improve your English fluency and pronunciation :-) I'll be happy to share stories from living all around the world, and hearing about your life. LGBT friendly. MY APPROACH I know what it's like to learn a new language and I know just how scary it can be to open your mouth to try and speak it. I will provide a safe space, free of criticism or embarrassment, to help you overcome your fears of learning this VITAL world language. The English language can really be your passport to the world :-) The time it takes to learn English is different for different people, but the statistics show that the more you hear the language and the sooner you start speaking it - even if it's slow and difficult at first - the faster you will learn. My job is not to explain complex rules and grammar to you. You can learn those online or in a school. I'm here to get you speaking and listening, so that you train your ears and your mouth in English. And over time, bit by bit, I will also help you to speak more accurately. Luckily for you, because English is spoken so widely, native English speakers are quite used to hearing English spoken incorrectly. So there's really no need to stress too much about your little errors in grammar or pronunciation. Let's just get you speaking! :-)
