Learn Portuguese 10 weeks - private or group lessons -- professional with teaching qualification - 24 years of experience - online or hybrid
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Oi Tudo bem? My name is Marcelo and I am from São Paulo.I teach Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese in The Hague and Rotterdam. Fortunately, I can combine my university studies and 23 years of practical teaching experience in such a way that the lessons are well-founded and stimulating.
I have lived and studied in Brazil and Portugal (Coimbra), so I am a native speaker, with a lot of knowledge of the associated culture. By twist of fate, I am also bilingual, so I can explain grammar in Dutch and vice versa. My training is focused on speaking skills.
For years I also gave business training at two very well-known language schools, so I know how to transfer a lot of knowledge in a short time. As a student you will feel this immediately from the first lesson.
Learning Portuguese for business or urgently (within 10 working days) is also possible. I have a Chamber of Commerce and VAT number.
I have a lot of experience teaching lessons via Teams of Whereby (Whereby is more professional and European), even before the crisis because I also teach students in other countries.
For virtual lessons, you will receive a transcript of the lesson by email after the lesson. Classes at my home are also possible with 6 feet of distance and good circulation.
My lessons are very structured and step by step. In addition, I always explain the 'why' of a grammatical topic, which creates a link that also works better for memory and makes the lesson more interesting.
Because I am so results-oriented, I try to gently guide trainees up the stairs to full speaking skills and my job is to make the lessons as educational and attractive as possible.
Abraços (kind regards)
Marcelo

About Me
Teaching is my ultimate passion and even after 19 years, it feels like the first year, except the experience makes it even better.Born in Brazil I discovered teaching at a young age (20) and have never stopped. My mother was a teacher of Dutch and I sometimes think this is more than a profession : it is a vocation.
Because my English was not good enough my father sent me to London to study English and this language became my third passion, now it shares a place with Dutch and Portuguese. I have lived in the UK five years (London and Plymouth) and loved it.
After this British adventure, I studied Portuguese in Portugal because I had an opportunity there to work & study, which helped me a lot to learn the essence of grammar and literature, but my 19 years experience in teaching makes it complete.
Being a spokesperson of a Dutch Ministry I developed my Dutch further and further to a very high level ofcommunication.. 10 years ago I started to teach Dutch to expats, were struggling with the difficult brekthrough after reaching level A-1. This is really my ‘niche’.
Nowadays I teach more and more Dutch to Expats and Foreign Students, but it is a tight race with Portuguese.
As a teacher I try to explain the how of grammatical topics, to keep it interesting. Sometimes with for instance a historical annotation, which students love to learn too. I will also teach about our complicated social culture, this is interwoven in the course.
You will be inspired, but never bored !

A qualified language coach with 24 years of experience offers intensive Dutch lessons in a small class or online.
I give many Dutch NT2 lessons to expats and in preparation for an integration exam.
Specialized in guiding for the State Exam I and II. Special exam coach.
In January 2025 I will also start with groups again. We have a great classroom in the center of Rotterdam, near metro station Beurs, lessons with small homogeneous groups (little difference in level).
We mainly go for quality and not just running a lesson. I am really involved in the progress of the student. In addition to teaching, I want to do everything to really motivate students to take the next step. That is my strength!
You can also choose the online lesson package with Whereby, Teams or Zoom in a comfortable way. Online classes are one-on-one or maximum one-on-two, for better results.
My English is fluent, as well as Portuguese and Spanish. I understand the difficulties of overcoming barriers for Latin languages and for expats in general, as I have also been an expat.
Online lessons last 75 minutes once a week for 10 weeks to reach a higher level.
This is the normal speed. Including exam training (A-2 or Staatsexamen) and exam at the end.
Intensive training ? That can also be done in five to ten full days, I am used to giving these very intensive trainings to CEOs or managers who want it faster and more intensive ... all lessons within 3 or 4 weeks. Based on the European system A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 and C-1
As soon as students want to further improve their knowledge of Dutch, I always advise and coach them to take the State Exam I or II, the only formal Certificate in this country, recognized by employers and universities.
I will try to switch to conversation after a few lessons, to put your knowledge into practice as soon as possible. Don't get too caught up in the grammar.
Teaching is my ultimate passion and even after 24 years it feels like the first time and students always feel inspired to overcome the obstacles.
I also teach you about Dutch social culture, which is intertwined in the course and is strongly related to the language.

Gabriel
Portuguese for English Speakers - Brave the lusophone world!With 270M+ speakers around the world, Portuguese is the last of the Romance Languages (the last "child" of Latin) and the third most spoken in the West, just behind Spanish and English. The laguage is spoken mainly in Portugal (its homeland) and Brazil (most native speakers); knowing how to speak Portuguese will open ways into the best of Lusitan and Brazilian cultures, with a lot of legends and world history to discover! Also, Portuguese is, perhaps, the most sentimental language in the world: you will have at your disposal a myriad of words to express yourself fully and deeply, in a way you never realised it was possible. Ready to discover a whole new world?!

OI! Vamos aprender se divertindo ?! HOLA! Aprendamos divirtiéndonos !? : DI am Brazilian bilingual in Spanish, born on a beautiful peninsula near Rio: Buzios, one of the main destinations for Argentines in Brazil.
Passionate about travel, I love discovering new cultures and interacting with people. I make intercultural experiences a priority in my classes.
I offer classes that correspond to your level. After a first conversation we will determine the objectives to be reached and at the end of each module we will decide together on the next objective.
A language is learned mainly by doing. I therefore offer activities that will allow you to improve yourself every day, such as: interactive methods, formal and informal conversations etc. All of this will prepare you for your day-to-day life in general, including anything related to work, travel, chats, etc.
We will also study with the help of films, text books and music that go according to your interest.
And of course we will also do grammar exercises to consolidate the basics.
