Learn Portuguese quickly with Professora Núbia

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!

Núbia's methology - to contextualize the Portuguese language instead of simply translationg grammar - worked very well for me. My understanding of both spoken and written Portuguese improve a lot with four week of semi-privet classes. The fact that Núbia refused to use or let us use other languages during the classes forced me to practise speaking and to concentrate on undersatanding her explenations Portuguese. Núbia puts great emphasis on pronouciation, which I also find important to make yourself understood daily life in Brazil. She also puts the language in the context of Brazilian culture and history. This way, I gost a deeper understanding of not just Brazilian Portuguese, but the inviromment that produced the language.

Núbia is a excellent teacher who won't let you get away if you are too shy to speak or lazy during the lessons. She has a lot of energy and never gives up when she's teaching. It you don't pronounce words the correct way she will correct you. If you use the wrong gender when speaking she will correct you. At all times! Which is really good becouse portuguese needs a lot of attention and can be very hard to understand as a beginner. Her method covers all parts of the language including cultural, political, and philosophical discussions which gives you a deeper understanding of Brazil and portuguese!

I took intensive lessons with Nubia before starting work in the Complexo do Alemão in the north of Rio. Not only did Nubia help me gain a really solid understanding of Portuguese basics, we also talked about slang and issues specific to Rio that really helped me with my work. Also, as a language teacher (I teach ESL in the US), I really appreciate her natural, direct teaching method. I feel that I learned quickly and thoroughly, and that she evaluated and dealt with my particular difficulties in Portuguese really well, especially relating to pronunciation and switching over from Spanish.
