Portuguese Tutoring & Language School
Gold Coast, Queensland

Welcome to Portuguese Tutoring & Language School with Barbara Sharon, your local expert for learning Portuguese on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. I offer dynamic, well-structured Portuguese language courses, private tutoring, and group classes designed to help you achieve fluency with confidence.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Languages and Literature from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and am a TESOL-certified instructor. In addition to Portuguese and English, I speak Italian and Spanish, which allows me to anticipate challenges, clarify differences, and make learning smoother for my students.

I am also a counsellor and currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Educational Studies and Behaviour Management. This unique background helps me create a supportive and motivating environment where every student can thrive.

My lessons are carefully structured to combine grammar, vocabulary, conversation, and cultural insights, so you learn not just the language, but how to use it naturally in real life. Whether you are in Gold Coast, Queensland, or anywhere in Australia, I am here to help you succeed in your Portuguese learning journey.

Portuguese tutoring testimonial from Mariano, Gold Coast

I have done an intensive Portuguese course with Barbara in Rio de Janeiro, and after a month we were all talking and laughing in Portuguese. It was a super productive and fun experience. She is the best! Firma, Mariano, o Argentino que quase leva a copa do mundo no Maracanã!

Barbara was my Portuguese teacher while I was in Rio. I still remember the dynamic and fun speaking activities. I highly recommend her. She is an exceptional Portuguese teacher who not only helped me to learn the language but also gave me a broader understanding of the culture.

Portuguese language school testimonial from Nicolas, Gold Coast

Hello all, I did a Portuguese class (intermediate level) with Barbara to prepare my application to a Master of Science at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. It's been both efficient and pleasant. I strongly recommend it here; fun and professional, best teacher I have ever had. I've passed the entry test and I'm about to finish it, thanks Barbs!
