I am a native Portuguese Language teacher. I have 10 years of experience of teaching Portuguese as a foreign and second language.Me as a Teacher
I welcome and support people to learn European Portuguese. It’s a learning system that allows students to design their learning plans according to their own goals and needs. I provide tailored courses in European Portuguese as a Second Language and as a Foreign Language.
My mission is to integrate international people in Portugal by developing their Portuguese language skills, opening them to increasingly meaningful and fulfilling interactions.My lessons & teaching style
Teaching for autonomy is a way we encourage our students to develop their proficiency according to their own rhythm and discoveries.
When it comes to learning a language, I endorse the idea that there’s more to life besides school. My aim is to help students to use Portuguese in their routines. I assist in the discovery of new routines, new people and new forms of expression, turning the indistinguishable noise of a foreign language into intelligible words to communicate with.
We provide tailored European Portuguese Language Courses.My teaching material

Ricardo was excellent at understanding my specific needs and he created a tailored strategy. I think he's an excellent professor and he uses very modern techniques to help students level up their Portuguese. I heartily recommend Ricardo to anyone who wants to learn European Portuguese the right way.

It was more of an introduction than a lesson so not really what I had paid for. Most of what was discussed could have been sent over in advance of the talk so that I could better understand the requirements of the teacher. I paid for 30 minutes, but after 15 minutes it was obvious that there had been a misunderstanding somewhere. I think that it would be better for people who have a lot of time to dedicate to their language study, which isn't always possible for some people (I have a full time job). It would probably work really well for some people but at the moment is not for me.
