Hi, I'm Nuno, a 33-year-old Portuguese from Porto, now a global citizen having lived in several countries. Teaching and learning are my passions, and I bring that energy into every lesson. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me drawing, painting, writing, or indulging in my love for football and sports. I’m a friendly guy who loves making new friends and chatting about all things nerdy—movies, books, and comic books are my jam. Let’s learn Portuguese together in a fun and engaging way!
Ich als Lehrkraft
I’ve been teaching for over 7 years, helping students of all levels achieve fluency in Portuguese. My lessons are dynamic and tailored to each student, focusing on real-world conversation, cultural insights, and creative activities. As a published writer and poet, I incorporate literary elements to make learning enjoyable.
One thing I feel proud of myself is that i never give up on my students!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I offer both formal and informal teaching approaches. I believe that consistent practice and dedication are essential for success in language learning. My lessons are designed to be engaging and enjoyable, with a focus on fostering a positive and motivating environment for all students.
I prioritize oral exercises, as I believe that communication with a native speaker is one of the most effective ways to learn a language. At the same time, I emphasize the importance of writing skills to ensure well-rounded language proficiency.
Incorporating Portuguese culture and literature into the lessons allows students to gain a deeper understanding of the language's context and heritage.
Nuno is by far the best language teacher I've ever met. I started learning PT from 0 with him back in June '21 through a language school, and by the time I moved to Portugal in Sept, I was able to communicate with people with no problems at all. Not only is he a good teacher, he is also super friendly & nice-- you can also tell how much he loves the Portuguese language (and literature). His classes are well balanced: he can teach proper Portuguese grammar, but also how people normally talk (slang, common grammar errors, etc). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I started working with Nuno in June 2021. I didn’t know any Portuguese at all. I was in a class and after a month I wanted to quit because it felt too hard. Nuno offered to tutor me so I could keep up with the class. He also encouraged me and explained things so well that learning became fun. Because of him I stuck with learning and now I am a B1 level. I am so grateful for his guidance and patience with me. I still continue to tutor with Nuno and highly recommend him to anyone new or advanced.

Nuno is a patient teacher and for someone who is not confident speaking Portuguese (me), he provides a very comfortable environment to practice speaking. He is encouraging but also corrects and teaches new phrases or ways to say things. Every lesson I learn useful words or phrases that improves my conversational ability. Muito obrigada pelas aulas!

Nuno is amazing. I don't want to share him with other students but there is only so many hours in the day. Book him while you can!

Nuno is a fantastic teacher. In addition to being an expert in Portuguese grammar, he is extremely patient, encouraging, well organized and creative. His complete fluency in English is also a crucial asset. He was instrumental in helping me prepare for and do quite well on Portugal's B1 exam. I was lucky to find Nuno and highly recommend him.

I’ve been studying Portuguese since 2007 and have explored various programs, books, and online learning platforms. When I started taking weekly lessons with Nuno over a year ago, I was looking for an experienced instructor who could pinpoint my weaknesses and help me reach my language goals. From the very first lesson, Nuno has gone above and beyond my expectations. His classes are well-structured and high-yield. He masterfully answers my questions with relevant examples and overarching concepts that reinforce my understanding and retention. His genuine interest in language learning and literature is contagious. He makes language learning fun and interesting. I appreciate him so much. I look forward to ongoing classes!
