I am bilingual, French/ Portuguese. I have completed my degree at the University of Coimbra, one of the best in Portugal.
I'm a communicative person, who likes to meet new people. I love to travel, and whenever I do I try my best to get to know the local community and the local area, because that's the only way to get to know the reality of each country. I've already volunteered in Africa, with my 12-year-old daughter, and the last trip we did together was to India, where I took a yoga course. I love reading and writing, music, beach and simple life. Empathy and respect for others are essential to me: "Don't do to others what you wouldn't want them to do to you".
Me as a Teacher
I am an experienced teacher, I work with children, young people and adults. My goal is to make the student learn enthusiastically, choosing methods and topics that adapt to each student in particular.
My lessons & teaching style
I am a certified teacher, and my teaching method is based mainly on conversation, so that the student learns as much vocabulary as possible, choosing topics of common interest, so that classes are interesting and motivating. I also use some material, such as articles, texts, oral and written exercises, games...

I've now been learning Portuguese with Virginie for over six months (probably about 60 lessons). It's been a great experience! Virginie has patiently helped me learn so much: I started at basically zero knowledge but we now spend each lesson conversing almost exclusively in Portuguese. I highly recommend Virginie for her patient approach and flexibility in teaching style for any level of learner

wow wow wow. such a great course with Virginie. I can't wait to take more. I already feel more confident in my ability to learn Portuguese after one hour together. A motivating and kind professor who very clearly understands how to teach and get the most of her students. 10/10.

I have been taking Portuguese lessons with Virginie for a few months now, focusing on improving my conversational skills. I have made significant progress and I now feel much more comfortable speaking Portuguese.
Virginie ensures that our conversations are not only educational but also genuinely enjoyable, covering a wide range of topics that keep the learning process interesting.
I also appreciate the flexibility in her teaching style. Virginie has been incredibly accommodating to my needs, integrating pronunciation and grammar exercises into our sessions. This personalised approach has greatly enhanced my learning experience.
Overall, I highly recommend Virginie to anyone looking to enhance their Portuguese language skills in a supportive and engaging environment.

I've been learning Portuguese with Virginie for almost five months now and it's been great! Virginie is a professional teacher, so she is well equipped to help students at all levels. I started at level zero and wanted to learn Portuguese through conversations (rather than rigid lessons and worksheets). Virginie has been great at this, and she is always eager to adapt to my preferences. I highly recommend her to all learners, regardless of level. I know it can be a bit intimidating to start a new language online, but Virginie is very approachable, patient, and supportive and makes the process very fun!
