I'm William, a Portuguese and English teacher from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with many years of teaching experience. I love not only teaching languages but also sharing the stories and lessons I've learned over time.
I have a bachelor's degree in Information Technology and have worked in that field for ten years. Meeting people from all over the world has made me love languages even more. While learning English, Spanish and French, I met lots of people online who wanted to learn Portuguese. Sharing languages and life stories with them has been a great experience, and I'm excited to share it with you.

If you need to have someone in your team to learn PT you know that William is the most reliable person with whom you can learn Portuguese in a relaxed way but yet professional all the way. He is attentive, takes notes, gives examples, correct your pronunciation, prepares the lesson for you and is always on time. He never has disappointed me

it's always a pleasure talk to William. Beyond a great teacher, he is also a friend after so long time of practicing. I highly recommend him.

Today was another fun class with William. As usual, he motivated me to talk as much as possible, keeping the conversation flow smoothly. He provided instant feedback and corrections. He also helped me craft my sentences better - to sound more native. I have had many Portuguese teachers on italki, and I can say without a doubt William is the best teacher on this platform. I cannot say enough good things about him. He makes learning Portuguese super fun! Highly recommend!

I just talked. It had been a while. I was rusty a little. We talked about his move, Portugal, and work. It was fun!

I learned some things about Brazil and Portuguese. We talked about obstetrics, too. Will learned about a certain food in the US. It was good to just converse.

It was fun! We talked mostly about my problems in day-to-day life here. It's complicated now! We did vocabulary, talked about my week, and I was talking most of the time. Will is a good teacher!
