Frequently Asked Questions

All classes are private (one-on-one) and happen online via video call. Each session is tailored to your level, goals, and interests. I use my own materials, designed to help you learn real Brazilian Portuguese — the kind people actually speak.

Beyond private classes, I also offer free live sessions and seasonal paid group courses on specific topics. To stay updated on upcoming lives and courses, follow me on Instagram (@boraportuguese) or sign up with your email — I always announce everything through these channels.

Absolutely! Many of my students started from zero. I will guide you step by step, at your own pace. You do not need any previous knowledge of Portuguese to get started.

Each class is typically 50 minutes. This gives us enough time for conversation practice, new vocabulary, grammar, and cultural insights.

That depends on your goals and availability. Most students take one or two classes per week. Consistency is more important than frequency. We will find a rhythm that works for you.

Life happens! I ask for at least 24 hours notice if you need to reschedule or cancel. This way, we can find a new time that works for both of us.

At the moment, I do not offer free trial classes due to high demand and a very busy schedule. However, your first class is always a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, assess your level, and talk about your goals. Many students decide to continue after just one session.

I use Google Meet for all online classes. You will receive a link before book your session. All you need is a stable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone.

Yes, but in a fun way! I send exercises, listening activities, and resources between classes to reinforce what we learned. Homework is optional but highly recommended for faster progress.

Of course! Whether you are intermediate or advanced, I adapt every class to your current level. We can focus on conversation, grammar refinement, pronunciation, slang, or whatever you need most.

BORA Portuguese is more than language classes. It is a full cultural experience. I create all my own materials, I bring real Brazilian content into every session, and I genuinely care about your progress. On top of private lessons, I regularly host free live sessions and seasonal group courses, so there is always a way to keep learning and stay connected to the community. My students do not just learn Portuguese — they connect with Brazil.

Yes! Besides private one-on-one classes, I regularly host free live sessions where we practice Portuguese together and explore Brazilian culture. I also offer paid group courses on specific topics throughout the year — these are seasonal and limited in size.
