Who we're looking for

Brazilian and European Portuguese are both welcome. Many learners choose one variant on purpose, so say which one you teach. You don't need a teaching certificate to apply.

Native or fully fluent Portuguese

You speak Portuguese naturally and can explain how it works.

Experience or qualifications help

A certificate is welcome but not required. Teaching experience, or a qualification such as CELPE-Bras or CAPLE examiner experience, makes your application stronger.

The right setup

A webcam, a microphone and a stable internet connection. Lessons run in the browser, so there's nothing to install.

How it works

1. Apply in about 10 minutes

Create your tutor profile, add your languages and tell us about your teaching.

2. Get reviewed in 3–5 days

We review every application during launch. We may ask for a short interview and a demo lesson. If you're not approved, you can re-apply.

3. Propose your price and start teaching

Set your availability, propose your lesson and trial prices, and welcome your first Portuguese students.

How you'll get students

We're new, and we say so. We're investing in search, social and partnerships to bring Portuguese learners to CharlieTalk, and founding tutors get top placement in results while student demand grows.

What Portuguese learners come for

Brazilian Portuguese

Learners moving to Brazil, working with Brazilian teams or connecting with family.

European Portuguese

Learners relocating to Portugal who want the accent and vocabulary used there.

Exam preparation

Practice for CELPE-Bras and CAPLE, for study, work or residency.
