I'm Filipe, your Portuguese teacher
I'm 30, from Aveiro, but I've been living in Lisbon for a few years. I'm a quiet guy with a passion for languages, literature, travel and gastronomy. I also do some cool cooking, so they say.
I studied at two Portuguese universities and completed my Masters in Portuguese Teaching in 2017.
I've been working with students from different countries for about 8 years and I've almost lost count of how many I've helped. I've also worked in a few schools in Lisbon, with both native and foreign students.
I'm an optimistic and resilient teacher! My wish is to continue teaching my language and meeting people from all over the world. Can I count on you?
