Olá! Tudo bem? Meu nome é Matheus, e sou do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil!
I graduated in Journalism and I have spent a significant amount of time teaching portuguese for foreigners students at my university. I love writing and speaking in portuguese and I currently work as a translator as well.
The class will be focus on conversation! It will help you to improve your accent and get the more commom expressions. I traveled all over the world, as a result we will have interesting talks.
I am an open minded person so you will improve your conversation skills if you are an intermediate student and want to reach a higher level.
Book your class and let's get started!
Ik als leerkracht
I have effective communications skills, naturally outgoing person, it contributes to create a genuine environment between us.
In my hometown, I have taught portuguese for foreigners students in my university for about 4 years.
When I traveled to Cambodia I taught kids english and french in a small town. This experience helped me to be more sensitive and caring while I teach.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
As I said I have outstanding communication skills. It is one of my secrets to keep you focus.
My main goal when I teach is on conversations about topics you like the most. When you feel more comfortable about the conversation, naturally you will speak better.
I believe the key for learning a new language is all about immersing yourself in a content you like. So, I love talking about travels, culture, art, experiences abroad, and all this kind of thing. Then, if you like it, I have no doubt we will get along very well.
Matheus is a great teacher - he is patient and gently corrects me in a way that doesn’t make me feel self-conscious. His English is strong, too, so he’s a good resource for when I don’t understand something in portuguese well enough. He’s also a cool and interesting guy! So it’s enjoyable talking with him. I highly recommend him!

Matheus has been an excellent conversation partner. He quickly gauged my level of proficiency and adapted his instruction to meet my needs. He's patient, easy to talk to, and provides constructive feedback that helps me improve my language skills.

My first lesson with Matheus was great! He is very friendly and fun to talk to. I could tell he has a lot of experience teaching by the way that he directed the conversation, quickly evaluating and adapting to my current level. I like that he takes the time to explain grammar or vocabulary as needed during the conversation, although I'm sure he can adapt this to your preference. As someone who has studied Spanish and French, I also find it to be a huge plus that he is well-versed in Spanish and French as well, to help me notice when those languages creep into my Portuguese. If you want to learn Portuguese through real conversation with a patient, engaging teacher who can adapt to your specific needs, take a lesson with Matheus!

Matheus is a kind and patient teacher. He does a great job of speaking at an easy pace to understand but still sticks to Portuguese the entire lesson. He is encouraging, open minded, and helpful :) If you're still unsure, just do a short trial lesson and he will immediately put you at ease.

Just had my first lesson with Matheus. He's super easy to talk to in terms of finding a topic to talk about and his portugese is also very easy to understand.
