About Jonathas
I'm a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker from São Paulo and now live in London.
I learnt English to fluency as a second language myself, so I know there is a huge difference between understanding a language and actually being able to use it spontaneously when someone is waiting for you to answer.
That's one of the reasons I teach through conversation and realistic situations rather than treating every student the same way.
My background is in communications and international professional environments, and I'm used to working with people from many different countries and cultures.
I'm interested in what you actually want Portuguese for. Your work, relationships, interests and personality give us the material for the lessons.
I want you to feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions and experimenting with the language. That's how we'll find the areas that need work and gradually make Portuguese feel more natural.

These lessons are for adults who want to actually use Brazilian Portuguese in real life, especially if you understand some Portuguese but struggle to find the words when it's time to speak.
Instead of only memorising vocabulary or studying grammar in isolation, we'll practise realistic situations based on why you're learning Portuguese.
You might be preparing for a trip to Brazil, meeting your Brazilian partner's family, making friends, moving to Brazil, speaking with colleagues or simply wanting to have natural conversations.
We'll try the situation together and see where you get stuck. Then we'll work on the vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and expressions you need before practising again.
As you improve, I can make the situations more spontaneous and challenging so you become more comfortable responding without preparing everything in your head first.
Lessons are personalised around your level, interests and goals, with grammar and explanations in English whenever useful.
The goal is to make Portuguese something you can use, not just something you know.

I’ve worked with Jonathas for several years and have always been impressed by how clearly he communicates with people from different backgrounds. He’s patient, approachable and very good at adapting the way he explains things depending on the person.
I’ve known Jonathas for over 15 years, and met him back when he was studying Communications and Multimedia in Sao Paulo, and he has always been very good at explaining things clearly and making complicated ideas easier to understand. He’s patient, thoughtful and easy to talk to, which I think would make him a great tutor.
I’ve known Jonathas for over 10 years. He’s patient, easy to talk to, and very good at explaining things (including Portuguese!) in a way that makes sense. He’s genuinely interested in people, and I think students would feel very comfortable learning from him.
Portuguese is a beautiful language, and having a fun teacher who understands people and knows how to get them to where they want to be is key for success. Jonathas brings professionalism and fun together in an environment that promotes learning.View more recommendations
