About me

Hi, I'm Helena.

I am from Lisbon but for many years I have been living in the Algarve. I love to teach and to interact with people. Every lesson is built around your goal, whether that is a trip, a partner's family, or a move to Portugal. No textbook chapter you will never use.

[Add two or three sentences in your own words: where you are from, where you live now, how long you have taught and why you love the language.]

  • 15 yearsteaching experience
  • 5 yearsteaching Portuguese to foreigners

How I teach

  • You speak from minute one. Short phrases first, grammar when you need it.
  • Pronunciation comes first. European Portuguese swallows vowels, so we train your ear early.
  • A plan that fits your week. A recap and a small practice task after every lesson.

Learn Portuguese in a practical way.

Live video lessons built around you. Real phrases for conversation and a study plan that fits your week.

What my students say

Helena makes every lesson feel like a conversation. After two months I can order, ask for directions and chat with my neighbours.
