Aprenda Português Brasileiro - Brazilian Portuguese with native teacher

Oi querido(a) estudante!

Do you want to learn the vibrant Brazilian Portuguese with a native teacher?
I am here for you! I am passionate about my language and culture, so I would love to share it with you.

I can teach you through dynamic and fun classes that get you emmerged in the Brazilian culture. When you realize it, you are already speaking the language!

I am very flexible and can teach people of different ages, levels and needs. Let's learn to sing beautiful samba lyrics! Let's learn about Bossa Nova and its magic! Let's feel the Brazilian heat while remaining in the Netherlands! Let's learn the "jeitinho brasileiro" to be able to make great deals with Brazilian companies!

Since 2018, I have been teaching Portuguese via Apprentus to several students. It's been very enjoyable to me as well as to my students and I am particularly proud of their development and achievements within a short period! I hope you can be my next student, who is going to make me very proud of!

Vamos aprender português juntos! Tenho certeza que você irá se apaixonar por essa língua assim como eu! Até breve! :)

About Me

I am a Brazilian, from Santos (São Paulo), who is passionate about Portuguese language. Since a child, Portuguese was my favorite subject at school. I always did very well with grammar and corrected people's mistakes in my daily life.

My interest for languages expanded and currently I speak also English, German, Spanish and Dutch. This means that I can teach you Portuguese in any of these languages! :D

As a teacher, I aim to make my classes smooth, interesting and fun! I think it's very important to share with students something from my culture, such as musics, novelas (soap operas), festivities and food. I want to teach students with real life examples and vocabulary, instead of using cases that are only in the books. There is so much of Brazilian culture to be explored and this makes the language learning process much easier!

I am very flexible, so I can adapt my class to the needs of each student. If you want to do business with someone from Brazil, I am the right person to assist you! I am graduated in International Relations with focus in Business, so this gives me in depth knowledge in this field! If you are going for holidays in Brazil and you want to be able to dive more in the culture, I can also prepare classes for you!! In this way you can dance samba, while singing the lyrics!

I am very patient, so I can explain you something you didn't understand as many times as necessary. I have great communication skills, what is definetely helpful. Also, I am very enthusiastic, so I am going to do my best to keep you motivated and focused!!

Since I've learned several languages, I can share my tricks with you of how to become fluent in a new language! Finally, in Portuguese there are several words and expressions that really loose their meanings when translated. So by learning Portuguese, you really expand your horizons!

Experience / Qualifications

2018 - Present: I have been for more than 3 years teaching Portuguese via Apprentus. I had/ have several students, all with different profiles (ages, interests and Portuguese level). From people who want to learn the basics in order to travel to Brazil to fluent speakers who want to perfect their skills. So far, I have been giving classes in Portuguese, English and Dutch, as requested by the student. Currently, I am also teaching Dutch to a Portuguese child. There are no boundaries when teaching a language! I particularly think it helps a lot that I often can teach students in their motherlanguage.

2016: I taught voluntarily Portuguese to a Syrian refugee at a Daycare for less privileged children in São Paulo. The girl was 4 years old and lived in Brazil for 6 months, but couldn't speak Portuguese. The teaching process was focused on visuals, as she couldn't write or read. It was an extremely challenging and pleasurable experience. After a few months of classes, she could already interact with other children and express herself much better.

2015: I lived in India for 8 months, where I taught Portuguese to a group of colleagues at the company I worked (Financial Technologies). The company was expanding their business in Brazil, so by learning Portuguese the employees could get more familiar with the Brazilian market. This course was business oriented and also included advices for negotiating with Brazilians.

Giovanna is a very friendly person and a fun yet methodical teacher. She makes sure you do not only learn how to speak the language, but also that you understand the underlying grammar rules. What makes every lesson a pleasure is that she incorporates your interests and passions into the lessons and homework. I have made a huge improvement in my Portuguese thanks to her. Muito obrigado Giovanna!
very good first lesson clear explanation, good examples and interactive Teaching materials fit and are nicely supplemented I just looked at my first comment from a school year ago and I must say that I am still as convinced as I was then. Giovanna is just good. Clear explanation, appropriate (multimedia) teaching material, adaptation of the teaching material to my personal and professional context. Sometimes strict, but always fair and reasonable, progressing but without exaggerating, an open ear for feedback and questions for further depth. In short, an upgrade to 5 stars is more than worth it. I'm already looking forward to the next "school year".

Spanish lessons from beginners and up, fun and quick.
Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world. Learning to speak Spanish will open all types of new doors for you, allowing you to discover a world of new opportunities. It makes travelling a whole lot easier. Wherever you go, there will surely be someone speaking Spanish! While learning Spanish takes a lot of practice, hard work and dedication, the learning process helps you expand your attention spans and creates a stronger working memory. While you’re taking your Spanish lessons, you will quickly notice how learning Spanish will help you boost your vocabulary by familiarizing you with Latin roots. What are you waiting for?
