Leila Schendel

With a Bachelor's Degree in Portuguese Literature, I am a dedicated teacher and tutor equipped with ample experience across various age groups and skill levels. Whether you are planning a trip to Brazil and want to avoid language barriers, keen on learning a new language, or seeking to enhance your professional portfolio, I can provide you with a range of effective learning methods that incorporate everyday Brazilian Portuguese, social etiquette, traditions, cuisine, and more. My teaching approach is unique as it leverages the Ludo-Genetic methodology derived from the Latin word "Ludus," meaning play or game. This approach fosters curiosity and turns daily learning into an exciting challenge with spontaneous benefits such as improved problem-solving skills, self-esteem, self-awareness, socializing, and respect for rules. Learning through play is fun, and it brings joy to students of all ages. Witnessing my students' growth and enthusiasm, especially among teenagers and children, is incredibly rewarding to me.
