WELCOME TO MY PROFILE
<<<I'm AVAILABLE most of the time so please choose the time that's more convenient for you>>>
Hello! My name is Elcidio and I'm 23 years old. I was born and raised in Mozambique. I really love learning new languages and meeting new people. I currently speak Portuguese as a native speaker, english, french, spanish and I've recently started learning mandarin chinese. I'm also passionate about music and art. My favorite artist is Malangatana. I like reading mindfulness books, business books and fiction. I also like to discuss about politics, science, nature and the environment. I'm also an entrepreneur, I started my business "a hardware store" in June 2021.
Me as a Teacher
I've got over 3 years of experience teaching Portuguese and English online, and before that I used to be an English tutor for adults, which gives me 7 years of experience. I'm very patient with my students and I encourage them to make mistakes because that's the only way they can learn. Details are very important to me, so I tend to focus on them; things such as pronunciation, accent mark( if we are writing ), sentence structure are very important. I like to correct without interrupting so I usually let my students finish their sentence before giving them a tip.
My lessons & teaching style
Having a private tutor allows you to have personalized classes:
just a few rules:
- Don't be shy, you learn by making mistakes.
- if you don't understand something, ask right away.
- try to forget your native language for a while
I offer personalized lessons that are designed to meet your goals. In my lessons I like to use texts, audios and images. I teach group classes starting from 2 to 8 students.
<<<THANKS A LOT for going through my profile;
Hope to see you in one of my classes>>>

Elcidio ist sehr sympathisch, spricht und erklärt sehr gut. Er gibt Webseiten für weitere Informationen an, manche haben wir sogar online während des Unterrichts zusammen angesehen (Land, Menschen, Essen und Bräuche, Natur). Besonders gut gefallen hat mir die Übung in Aussprache, Melodie und Wortschatz von Mosambik einzutauchen. Ein sehr bereichernder Vorteil. Sehr empfehlenswert, und bis bald. Schöne Grüße, Jorge 🤗
