About Me
italki teacher since Feb 20, 2019Me as a Teacher
I welcome and support people to learn European Portuguese. It’s a learning system that allows students to design their learning plans according to their own goals and needs. I provide tailored courses in European Portuguese as a Second Language and as a Foreign Language.
My mission is to integrate international people in Portugal by developing their Portuguese language skills, opening them to increasingly meaningful and fulfilling interactions. My lessons & teaching style
Teaching for autonomy is a way we encourage our students to develop their proficiency according to their own rhythm and discoveries.
When it comes to learning a language, I endorse the idea that there’s more to life besides school. My aim is to help students to use Portuguese in their routines. I assist in the discovery of new routines, new people and new forms of expression, turning the indistinguishable noise of a foreign language into intelligible words to communicate with.
We provide tailored European Portuguese Language Courses.My teaching material

Ricardo was excellent at understanding my specific needs and he created a tailored strategy. I think he's an excellent professor and he uses very modern techniques to help students level up their Portuguese. I heartily recommend Ricardo to anyone who wants to learn European Portuguese the right way.

It was more of an introduction than a lesson so not really what I had paid for. Most of what was discussed could have been sent over in advance of the talk so that I could better understand the requirements of the teacher. I paid for 30 minutes, but after 15 minutes it was obvious that there had been a misunderstanding somewhere. I think that it would be better for people who have a lot of time to dedicate to their language study, which isn't always possible for some people (I have a full time job). It would probably work really well for some people but at the moment is not for me.

Extremely professional, the professor was able to identify quickly the areas where I need the most help. Looking forward to the next class.
