Meet Your Teacher
👋 Olá, I’m Ricardo Filgueira!
I’m from São Luís (Maranhão) and have been living in São Paulo since 2015. I’ve been teaching Portuguese since 2002, when I lived in Geneva, Switzerland — and since then, I’ve helped hundreds of English speakers connect with Brazil through the Portuguese language.
I hold a degree in Modern Languages, I’m a specialist in Portuguese Language, a specialist in Distance Education and an Instructional Designer. I speak English, French, and I’m currently learning German — so I understand the challenges (and joys!) of learning a new language.
When I’m not teaching or creating content, you’ll probably find me enjoying listening to 🕺eurodance, reading, working out or 🛹skateboarding.
