About Jon

Oi! I’m Jon — a passionate Portuguese learner turned fluent speaker, tutor, and cultural guide. My journey with Brazilian Portuguese began back in college, when I fell in love with the language — and I haven’t stopped learning since. I know what it’s like to start from scratch, not understanding a single word, and work your way to fluency. That experience fuels my empathy and patience as a teacher. I spent years living in Brazil, where I immersed myself in the culture, music, food, and daily life. I’ve taught English while living there and built deep, lasting relationships — including with a Brazilian partner — so I know how powerful language can be in love, connection, and everyday understanding. I specialize in helping adults — especially those in relationships with native speakers — build the confidence and skills to communicate clearly and authentically. Whether you're preparing to meet your in-laws, travel to Brazil, or simply want to feel more connected to your partner’s world, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Olá! I’m Jon — a language tutor with over 5 years of experience speaking Portuguese and 2 years teaching English in Brazil. My approach is rooted in real connection: I help adults speak with confidence, especially those in relationships with Portuguese speakers who want to connect more deeply with their partner or their partner’s family. My teaching style blends clear structure with real-life context. I focus on what matters most — conversation, culture, and confidence. Each lesson is customized based on your personal goals and learning style. Whether you're brand new or intermediate, I create a safe, judgment-free space for growth. My Method: I prioritize practical conversation over textbook drills. I use cultural examples, relationship-based phrases, and real dialogues. We work with repetition, visuals, and storytelling — especially helpful for neurodivergent learners. You’ll get recap notes and vocabulary tools to review between sessions. A Typical Lesson Might Include: A warm-up or review of last week’s material A theme (e.g. visiting family, daily routine, emotional expressions) Guided conversation practice Grammar or pronunciation focus (only where relevant) Take-home phrases and vocab practice What Sets Me Apart: I specialize in intimate communication — helping you speak more naturally with a partner or loved ones. I’m deeply familiar with both Brazilian culture and American learning habits — so I can bridge the gap smoothly. I adapt lessons for neurodivergent learners who need structure, visual cues, or repetition. Who It’s For: Adults in relationships with Portuguese speakers Beginners to intermediate learners People preparing to travel or live in Brazil Anyone looking to connect on a more personal level — not just pass a test If you're ready to turn language learning into a more personal, joyful process — you're in the right place.
