Oi, I'm Jefferson! I'm a certified Brazilian Portuguese teacher with 5 years of experience teaching both in-person and online lessons from my home base in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
🔹 I teach (18+) Adults only;
🔹 I can help you develop your language skills, regardless of your Portuguese level;
🔹 My lessons are based on: Grammar, Conversation, Pronunciation, Accent, Writing, Listening Comprehension, and Reading.
📚 As an experienced Grammar teacher, I love using both interactive material (video, audio, games) and traditional resources (textbooks, PowerPoint) to make learning grammar engaging and personalized.
☕️ I'm known for being a great conversationalist teacher who loves meeting new people and chatting about culture, food, cities, countries, travel, technology, politics, psychology, and society. My lessons are never boring, and I'll ask you interesting questions to make sure you feel comfortable, no matter what your Portuguese level is.
📝 I specialize in CELPE-BRAS Test Preparation, having successfully helped many students pass this exam. I use official materials from previous exams and guide students through every step of the test, including presentation, conversation, reading, writing, listening comprehension, and grammar.
🗣️ I'm passionate about teaching the carioca accent (Rio's accent) and enjoy helping with pronunciation, including vowel and consonant sounds, word stress, and intonation.
🛟 I also offer a special "Survival Portuguese" course, designed to help travelers learn the basics of Portuguese for their trips to Brazil. This intensive, short course includes tour recommendations to enhance your experience in Brazil.
Having graduated from university in 2019, I embarked on a fulfilling journey in the education field, specializing in language teaching. Over the past 5 years, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of students, teaching both Portuguese and English in various settings. I've gained valuable experience teaching face-to-face classes in public and private schools in Rio de Janeiro, and have also had the opportunity to teach Portuguese to foreigners and English to Brazilians through online platforms. Through my work, I've grown both as a professional and as an individual, and I remain committed to inspiring and empowering my students to achieve their language learning goals. 🎯
