Tuteurs & professeurs de portugais

Hello! My name is Bianca Carvalho, I'm from Brazil and I speak Portuguese (native), English (fluent) and Mandarin. My passion for teaching stems from the love of traveling the world and learning new languages! I lived in China for 2 years learning mandarin and teaching English to Chinese children. I've been to the United States multiple times to further understand the English language, and become fully immersed in the culture provided. I speak English fluently and consider it as much a part of me as my native tongue, Portuguese. I would like to help others realize their dreams of becoming fluent in either Portuguese, English, or both! I believe that the best way to learn a language is to be fully immersed in the culture. I try my best to encourage all of my students to watch Brazilian TV shows and soap operas, as well as to try their hand at cooking Brazilian cuisine I adapt to each individual student’s needs: If the student is learning Portuguese to travel, the class will have more of an informal/colloquial feel to it, focusing on rapid basic survival Portuguese. If the student plans to live in Brazil, the class will use PDF books as a base, and also contain exercises and essays about interesting topics (i.e. science, politics, sports, nature, etc. . .). Finally, if the student is interested in Portuguese for business purposes, the focus of the class will be on Economic and Business oriented diction.I have acquired quite the arsenal of stories throughout my journey in the United States, and then later in China. These experiences have made it possible for me to see eye to eye with all of my students, whether they are beginners or Advanced. I love teaching children, but nothing beats seeing an adult who has never learned another language before, conquer that feat and use what I taught them in everyday life! Learning can be a lot of fun as well as a door to new friendship, which I love! :)

My name is Nathaly, I'm from Brazil, and I'm really passionate about language learning. Portuguese is my native language, but I also speak fluent English and I can communicate well in Spanish. In 2017, I started making Portuguese video lessons for my American friends that visited Brazil for some weeks and since then I've been assisting them with their Portuguese learning process. In the same year, while enrolled in the Academic English Program at the University of Texas at Austin, I was part of the Portuguese Language Partnership Program through which American college students of Portuguese and Brazilians could practice conversational Portuguese. I majored in English Language and its Literature at the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco and I'm currently working as an English teacher, besides teaching Portuguese here on Verbling. I've been teaching English for about 5 years, to all age groups, and I've received positive feedback from my students and coordinators for my creativity and special attention to the minimum details in each lesson. I also love phonetics and phonology and have done research into the field of language acquisition. In my lessons, a special attention is given to pronunciation and communicative real-life situations. I also adapt my lesson plans to different learning styles, as well as focusing on the difficulties Portuguese learners may encounter due to interference of their native language I'm looking forward to teaching you! Até logo!
