What this covers
A language teacher helps you understand, speak, read and write another language, correcting pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary as you use it. Teaching is organised in levels, from first contact with the language to professional use, and the programme follows the student's goal: conversation, an exam, work, or school support. Lessons run one to one, in groups, or online.
What people ask for most
- Portuguese for foreign residents
- Preparation for a Portuguese language exam
- English for tourism and hospitality staff

- German and French for hotel work
- Conversation practice to unblock speaking
- Business Portuguese for meetings

Timing and emergencies
Urgency usually appears before an exam, a job interview or an appointment with a public service. In that case give the date up front and say what you need to be able to do in the language, so a teacher can build a short focused plan. Starting two weeks before limits what is possible, so make contact as early as you can.
