​

Currently offering individual, online lessons only.

 

 

My students are all adult learners,  either college-age or professionals willing to learn the language for various reasons: travel, business, or simply for fun, to be able to communicate with Brazilian friends, spouses, clients, or co-workers. Check their testimonials here.

​

I have a Ph.D. in biomedical sciences and have worked for a decade at MIT, UMass, and universities in Brazil as a research scientist. While doing so, I found my passion for mentoring and teaching, and now I run the venture Godoy Tutoring. More about me here.

​

My lessons are highly customized. I prepare the materials based on an initial assessment addressing goals, difficulties, and strengths. Regardless of your language background, I guarantee you'll leave the first session with some vocabulary and pronunciation skills!

​

All sessions are online and 60 minutes long. I recommend at least one meeting per week.  The material includes audio and video, music, news, entertainment sources available online, and a wealth of resources that I created myself. The level of difficulty will vary depending on progress, which I evaluate on an ongoing basis in a very friendly and non-intimidating way.

​

I'll be happy to clarify questions over the phone or by email. I can provide solid references.

​

I look forward to hearing from you!

​

Obrigado! (that's Thank you!)
Luiz
