Hello, My name is Maria Pedro R. I'm Portuguese, born in France.
Although I consider Portuguese being my mother tongue, I speak French as a native. In addition to my native langue, I also speak Spanish fluently (C2).
I had the chance to live for 15 years abroad: Spain, France, Belgium, Germany.
I love teaching Portuguese and sharing the Portuguese culture (we can speak about food, literature, poetry, music) - not only Portuguese music but also the rich Brazilian repertoire music.
I'm very curious, I love to speak with people and to learn new things. Let’s talk!
Me as a Teacher
I'm very motivated, consistent and extremely patient. I know the difficulty of learning a new language because I myself have learned Spanish and Catalan as I did my Art Studies in Barcelona. Years later, as I moved to Germany I studied German – one of the biggest challenges in my life. Through this experience I understood how both challenging and marvelous learning a language can be.
The more you speak a language the more you learn.
I suggest, for example:
-Free conversation
-Conversation about a specific topic (I can send you a text and a video before the class)
-General learning
-prepare for a trip in Portugal, other things
My lessons & teaching style
We will take the time that you need. I will do my best to help you in Portuguese in a positive atmosphere.
You can tell me your needs or what are your goals. Or I can suggest you some radio recordings, exercises and texts. For instance, through a first conversation with some questions we’ll be able to identify your most fragile points (vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, the verb tenses, etc.) and work from there. I will personalize the course.
I recommend you contact me, as soon as possible to tell me what you want to study or talk about.
See you soon.
Até breve!

Very great class with Maria! She is very organised and helpful. We only had 1 class but she already sent me the new vocabulary, podcast suggestions, and cultural topics to help me improve my Portuguese. I highly recommend her and will come back for more classes with Maria :)

Maria is an excellent teacher. I have already taken many classes with her. In every class, I find that her explanations and corrections are very useful and help me improve my language skills to the next level. Maria is interested in a wide range of topics and we address the ones I like in reading, writing and a lot of speaking. What I find especially useful is when she identifies things I can easily improve as a kind of summary of the class.

Maria is an excellent teacher and a wonderful person to know. I have already learned so much in the few months of lessons that I’ve had- not only Portuguese, but about life in general. Conversations with Maria are always enlightening as well as entertaining, and they always help to broaden my vocabulary and advance my oral comprehension skills. She is endlessly patient, intelligent, and funny, and always has something prepared to challenge me and help me improve.
