About Me
Olá! 😊
I'm Lydie, residing in Setúbal, a picturesque coastal city of Portugal. My passion lies in the art of language acquisition. In addition to my mother tongue, Portuguese, I am fluent in English, Romanian, and possess a smattering of French. Consequently, I'm well-acquainted with the challenges one encounters when venturing into the realm of a new language, and I'm here to lend a hand with those obstacles.
I began my language teaching journey in 2016 and have the privilege of teaching Portuguese as a Foreign Language at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, where I earned a postgraduate degree in Teaching Portuguese as a Non-native Language. I hold TEFL and TEYL certificates, and I've honed my skills in teaching grammar and conversation to learners from age 4 to adults. I find joy in working with people from diverse backgrounds, believing in the mutual enrichment of sharing knowledge and experiences.
I adopt a laid-back teaching style, favoring the communicative approach, as I believe that language is best learned through interaction and contextual vocabulary usage. My lessons encompass grammar, conversation, and pronunciation improvement, all tailored to your unique requirements and objectives.
I'm looking forward to our first session! 😊

Lydie is a wonderful teacher! She is lively and bright, always explaining things in accessible terms. She is also a font of cultural knowledge, which made it delightful to practice my conversation skills with her. I came to Portuguese as a Spanish- and French-speaker, and Lydie was great at helping me identify similarities and differences across Romance languages. I recommend her highly!

For me, this is the sort of teacher I need, one who knows her stuff, is well-prepared, and can also work with where I am so that we can actually converse a bit (after a fashion-- as much as one might hope for as a beginner). Highly recommended.
