Learn Portuguese quickly with Professora Núbia

Professora Núbia - A black teacher of Brazilian Portuguese smiling in a library

Hi! My name is Núbia, I am a native Carioca (resident of Salvador/BA for at the time) and I have been teaching Brazilian Portuguese to foreigners since 2002. I studed Portuguese at Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro and did my Post-graduate in Literature at the same University. I've given lessons to students from all over the world, and all age groups. After years of work, I've developed my own method of teaching Portuguese. Language is culture! And I specialize in the understanding of the social and historical contexts of Brazil and their social relations as a path to manage communication with Brazilians. Currently, I'm offering group or individual classes online. If you're interested, please email or call!

Methodology:

-Understanding Brazilian culture. Information about Brazilian culture and traditions, Brazilian history, Brazilian art, Brazilian business and work culture, and more, are all things that can help you better understand Brazilian culture and better learn the language.

-Focus on Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation. Fluency, pronunciation, and undertanding. The clearer your pronunciation is, the faster your communication. It makes developing your fluency easy.

-Subjective approach. Speaking ONLY Portuguese during lessons, makes learning easier if you are in a friendly and relaxed environment.

I found Professora Núbia in my Google searches. She is the best teacher in the world! Shortly after a few months I was able to have a real conversation in Portuguese. She is dynamic and is always in a good mood, and undoubtedly she helped to make my stay in Brazil unforgettable. It’s not only about Portuguese classes, becouse Núbia also shares her culture, her music and the Brazilian way of living. To learn a new lenguage, you need to have a good relationship with your teacher and Núbia made me to learn Portuguese very quickly. I really recommend it!

Professora Nubia has to be the best private Portuguese teacher in Rio. I can't overstate how good she is. She taught my entire family of 5, ages 10 to 43 to speak Portuguese really quickly. She knew how to help my wife and I with our older brains and how to connect with our young kids in a very different way. It was really impressive. She's also a lovely person. Our time with Professora Nubia is one of our favorite parts of our time living in Rio de Janeiro.

I took private lessons with Nubia to improve my portuguese before delving into my dissertation research in Salvador. Nubia was observant and quickly determined what I needed the most work on. She tailored sessions to strengthen my weaknesses and expand my fluency and vocabulary. She contextualized language lessons with Brazilian culture, which further enhanced my understanding of Brazilian culture and more authentic use of the language. She is full of energy, fun and professional. I highly recommend her! who you are

The classes with Tupiniquim were great, for me it was perfect to have the teacher arrive in my house. She is very esnthusiastic and was happy to find a teacher that also focused on the pronouciation, not only on the grammatics. During the clases with Nubia I also goe to learn a lot about the Brazilian culture, for this I am greatful. Irecommend classes with Núbia for anyone that wants to learn and improve their portuguese!

I started from zero portuguese and therefore deside to take the intensive packedge of 4 weeks, 5 days a week, 2 hour private class with Tupiniquim. I'm not very lingual and not an easy student (For I'm inpatient and hesistant to make mistakes), so I was curious how that would work. I can only say that Núbia is very good in the techniques she uses, pursuasive in letting you talk, and patiant with , at least, my inpatience. After a month I was able to form sentences, understand little parts of what people are saying and eager to try to speak to people so I can practice.
