About Dan
Hi, I’m Dan!
I’m a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, and I absolutely love my language, my culture and the joy that comes from connecting with people through language.
For me, Portuguese isn't simply a collection of grammar rules and vocabulary. It’s a way of expressing personality, humour, emotion and culture. There are expressions, sounds and little nuances in Brazilian Portuguese that you simply don't get from a textbook — and I want to help you discover them.
Why do I want to teach Portuguese?
Because I know how exciting it can be to learn a new language and suddenly realise that you can actually communicate with another person in it.
That moment when you understand something you couldn't understand before, have your first proper conversation or confidently say something you've been practising — that's what makes language learning so rewarding.
I want my lessons to be practical, relaxed and enjoyable. Rather than worrying about getting every word perfect, I want you to feel comfortable experimenting with the language, making mistakes and gradually building your confidence.
We'll work on the areas that matter most to you — whether that's conversation, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, listening, reading or simply feeling more comfortable speaking Brazilian Portuguese.
And because I'm a native speaker, I can help you go beyond the Portuguese you find in a textbook and explore the real Brazilian Portuguese people use every day.
I also love sharing Brazilian culture alongside the language — because understanding the culture can make the language come alive.
Ultimately, I don't want you to simply study Portuguese.
I want you to use it, enjoy it and make it part of your world.
So whether you're learning Portuguese for travel, family, work, relationships, personal interest or simply because you love the sound of Brazilian Portuguese, I'd love to help you on your journey.

I started lessons with Dan because I wanted to become more confident and comfortable expressing myself, rather than because I wanted to pursue acting professionally. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the lessons have been incredibly useful.
Dan created a really relaxed and supportive environment where I felt comfortable trying things, making mistakes and stepping outside my comfort zone. Through the acting exercises, I’ve developed my confidence, communication skills and ability to think on my feet. I’ve also become much more comfortable speaking in front of other people and expressing my ideas clearly.
What surprised me most was how many of the skills from the lessons started appearing in everyday life. I feel more confident in conversations, presentations and social situations, and I’ve become much better at listening and responding rather than overthinking what I’m going to say.
Dan is encouraging without being pushy, and he makes every session feel enjoyable and purposeful.I would highly recommend Dan as a swimming teacher. He is friendly, patient and really encouraging, which made me feel much more comfortable and confident in the water. He took the time to understand what I needed to improve and adapted the lessons to suit me rather than making me feel rushed.
I’ve noticed a real improvement in both my swimming technique and my confidence, and I actually look forward to my lessons now! Dan explains things clearly, gives really helpful feedback and makes the lessons enjoyable.
If you’re looking for someone who is supportive, knowledgeable and genuinely wants to help you improve, I would definitely recommend Dan.I would highly recommend Dan for Life in the UK Test preparation. From the very beginning, he made the whole process feel much less stressful and much more manageable.
Dan explains everything clearly and patiently, and he doesn’t just expect you to memorise facts — he makes sure you actually understand what you’re learning. The lessons were well structured, and practising questions together really helped me become familiar with the type of questions I could expect in the test.
I particularly appreciated how supportive and encouraging Dan was throughout. Whenever I got something wrong, he explained why and helped me understand it rather than making me feel discouraged.
After working with Dan, I felt much more confident and prepared for the test. If you’re studying for the Life in the UK Test and want a friendly, patient and effective tutor, I would definitely recommend him!I've known Dan for a while now, and it's inspiring to listen to him about teaching and engaging students. He always has several ideas on how to keep his students interested in whatever topic he's teaching, how he identifies learning needs in them, and the approach he uses to tackle them.
Dan and I have been close friends for years, and I’ve seen firsthand just how natural he is at helping people learn. What I love most about him is how incredibly patient and down-to-earth he is—he has this unique knack for making even the most confusing things suddenly click. I still remember when we were stressing over a massive project together, and his ability to calmly break everything down step-by-step completely saved the day. Dan is just a genuinely supportive guy who cares about seeing others succeed, and anyone would be lucky to have him in their corner
