Portuguese with Dora

Learn Portuguese in a

motivating and positive

environment, where we ​focus on the

goals, interests

and challenges of each ​student.

About me

"Your classes are like a therapy to me" ​said a student once, which resonated with ​me so much. I consider the wellbeing of the ​student just as an important focus as the ​academic curriculum itself. I have seen how ​it makes a significant difference to the ​learning process.

Having started my journey as a student ​myself, I am aware of the difficulties and ​obstacles when learning a new language. ​Now, as a qualified teacher, I can provide ​the right support to overcome these barriers ​and to make learning a language ​interesting and relatable.

My Background

During the last 12 years I had the chance to work as a teacher for different ​language schools and companies and was lucky to get an insight into ​different teaching methods and styles. I have been working as a private ​teacher for the last 7 years giving 1-on-1 and small group classes, also ​providing language courses to companies (WebSummit, Second Home..)

I am the author of Português Para Ti, an A1/A2 level textbook that helps ​students with acquiring the basics of the Portuguese language through ​authentic and interesting exercises.

In addition to earning a master’s degree in foreign language teaching ​(English-Portuguese), I am also qualified as a Mental Health Prevention ​Specialist and have a diploma in Social-Emotional Learning from the ​University of San Diego.

Resources

A perfect textbook does not exist. But we ​wanted to create one that is close to ​perfect, one that supports the learning ​process with authentic materials and ​guides the student on his/her journey. ​That is why we created the Português ​Para Ti ebook, an A1/A2 level textbook.

For those who are preparing for the CIPLE

(A2 level) language exam, we created an ​ebook that contains three series of sample ​exercises that will prepare you for what to ​expect at the exam.

Beside classes, you can book consultations ​with me to obtain information about the ​exam, ask questions and practice the ​speaking part.

Classes are available in ​small groups (max.5 ​people) from beginner ​level (A1) to advanced ​(C1) with special focus on ​enhancing ​communication and ​interaction.
