New Student Consultation

Service Description

This 45-minute consultation is an opportunity to discuss your Brazilian Portuguese experience, assess your approximate level and find the learning option that suits your goals, whether you are interested in private, in pairs or group classes. During our consultation, we can talk about: • your current Portuguese level and previous learning experience • your motivation, goals and availability • how you prefer to learn • private and group class options • my teaching approach and resources • what you can expect from lessons • any questions or concerns you may have We may spend some time speaking in Portuguese so I can get a better idea of your current level and communication skills. This is not a formal exam, and you do not need to prepare anything beforehand. Interested in private lessons? We can discuss personalised lessons, materials and activities, homework and practice between lessons, Google Classroom, optional WhatsApp exchange and conversation group opportunities, as well as booking and payment arrangements. I also like to understand how each student learns best. For example, do you prefer visual resources, taking notes, written exercises or learning through conversation? Do books, films, music or practical activities help you remember things? Interested in group classes? We can look at the groups currently available or being planned and discuss which may be suitable for your level and goals. I will explain how the group works, what you can expect and the available booking options. My aim is to help you choose an approach that is useful, enjoyable and appropriate for you. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions before booking. Please check your time zone before booking. Please note: This consultation is for adults learning Brazilian Portuguese. It is an introductory meeting and level assessment, rather than a full private lesson.
