About Me

Hello to all! My name is Arsène Costa, I am Congolese (DR.Congo), but currently I live in Brazil (São Paulo) for study reasons. I am a student in aeronautical engineering at the University of São Paulo (Usp).
I have always had a strong passion for languages, and this passion has pushed me to learn at least six languages, three of which are European and the other three African.
Although I study engineering, I also enjoy discussing other subjects such as law, sports, medicine, current affairs, gastronomy, literature... I like music, and it is one of the tools I use a lot to learn other languages.Me as a Teacher
Building a tower requires a high level of preparation and skill acquisition before and during construction, otherwise the work will be mocked.
The experience I have acquired while learning certain languages such as Portuguese, for example, has allowed me to learn and develop different approaches that, in my opinion, could help the student assimilate with great ease.
A friendly atmosphere, where making mistakes is part of the learning process and not a subject of mockery is all I want for the student.
Conversation (dialogue) is the main object, because in dialogue, one learns. However,
grammar and conjugation will be constantly present during the course in order to better understand the useMy lessons & teaching style
The focus in learning a language is communication, which can be oral, written or gestural, although oral or spoken comes first in most cases. In case you decide to take classes with me, I will use ways and means that will help you develop the above mentioned aspects in a solid way.My teaching material

Arsene is awesome. Very patient, kind, knowledgable and fluent in Portuguese. My regular Portuguese teacher was busy this week so I decided to book with another teacher to get some extra practice. I recently JUST started to learn French so after a bit of conversation to get to know each other, we also talked (in Portuguese) about the differences between Portuguese and and French. He is very interesting, I had a great time and learned a lot. If I didn’t already have a regular Portuguese teacher, I would book more classes with him.

I really enjoy working with Arsène and I am content with him as a professor. I like his style and his way of challenging yet encouraging me to improve. I'm looking forward to our next session.

It was my first lesson with Arsene. I was feeling a bit nervous but he made me feel at ease. I was very comfortable in the lesson and he shared some useful advise, tips and trick about language learning with me. Thank you Arsene!
