Olá! 😊
I'm Lydie, residing in Setúbal, a picturesque coastal city of Portugal. My passion lies in the art of language acquisition. In addition to my mother tongue, Portuguese, I am fluent in English, Romanian, and possess a smattering of French. Consequently, I'm well-acquainted with the challenges one encounters when venturing into the realm of a new language, and I'm here to lend a hand with those obstacles.
Me as a Teacher
I began my language teaching journey in 2016 and had the privilege of teaching Portuguese as a Foreign Language at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, where I earned a postgraduate degree in Teaching Portuguese as a Non-native Language.I hold TEFL and TEYL certificates, and I've honed my skills in teaching grammar and conversation to learners from age 4 to adults. I find joy in working with people from diverse backgrounds, believing in the mutual enrichment of sharing knowledge and experiences.
My lessons & teaching style
I adopt a laid-back teaching style, favoring the communicative approach, as I believe that language is best learned through interaction and contextual vocabulary usage. My lessons encompass grammar, conversation, and pronunciation improvement, all tailored to your unique requirements and objectives.
I'm looking forward to our first session! 😊

Lydie is the best foreign language speaker I have ever had. Over the years I have struggled to learn a second language. I grew up in the U.S. when learning a second language was rare and so I had limited classes in school. Lydie has given me the confidence and thus the motivation to learn Portuguese. I know I can do it thanks to her.

Lydie's classes have the right balance between speaking practice and grammar: very effective and goal-oriented!

Lydie is amazing. Super kind, funny, friendly and when she corrects me it doesn’t bring the lesson to a halt. The lesson flows and move so fast I wish I had an hour lesson not a 30 minute lesson

Based only on our 30 minute conversation, I feel some confidence that I will be able to make progress!
