Augusto Cunha Ferreira

Profile

Gus Ferreira is a native Portuguese speaker from Brazil who has had a passion for learning and teaching languages from a young age. After Gus turned 8, he was already teaching Portuguese to his immigrant siblings from Italy.

Gus has been delivering training in Brazilian Portuguese at the University of Sydney for 10 years, establishing himself as a highly experienced language facilitator. His extensive experience has allowed him to refine his teaching methods and connect with a diverse range of students, helping them to achieve higher proficiency in Brazilian Portuguese.

In addition to his teaching career, Gus has completed a Master's in Psychology, providing him with a deep understanding of human behaviour, learning processes, and language. His background in psychology supports and guides his teaching approach, allowing him to apply evidence-based strategies to language learning. Gus’s unique combination of linguistic expertise and psychological knowledge helps his students to excel.

Gus also believes language learning is a gateway to appreciating and embracing different cultures. He encourages his students to immerse themselves in Brazilian culture through music, literature, and social interactions, fostering a deeper connection with the language and its speakers.
