Sara Ventura

@saraventura

Portuguese and French language instructor at LanguageBird, teaching European Portuguese online to students worldwide.

At LanguageBird, I teach European Portuguese online via Teams. I also teach Portuguese as a Host Language to learners from countries including Nepal, China, India, and Pakistan.

Since 2017, I’ve delivered Portuguese, French, and English training for schools, training centres, and businesses. My teaching has included language courses for FEUP foreign students and French training for employees in fields such as hospitality and beauty and well-being care.

I hold a professional teaching qualification in Portuguese and French and a degree in Modern Languages and Literatures from the University of Porto. I’ve also worked with portfolio review and served on certification juries for RVCC processes at basic and secondary levels.
