Braz-En Language Experts

Welcome to Braz-en language Experts.

We pride ourselves on providing high quality Portuguese and Spanish language tuition, from Beginners to Advanced levels. We are based in Sydney, Australia and have classes in Manly, Bondi, Sydney CBD and Rockdale.

Braz-en Language Experts was started by Dr Rita Ferraro after seeing a need in the market place for specialised and structured language tuition from a qualified linguist.

Many language schools that offer language tuition lack a detailed methodology, highly qualified teachers and a deep understanding of language structure.

Dr Ferraro has developed her own methodology based on many years of academic research, teaching experience and professional consulting.

Braz-en’s unique methodology and teaching proposition allows for continual learning and improvement through a circular feedback loop, which is overseen by the Braz-en Course Director and incorporates the Braz-en Teacher, the Individual Student and fellow Class Mates.

Each course is structured into four phases: Definition, Learning, Assessment and Graduation that ensures students' needs are met, their learning experience optimised and lessons are provided to a consistently high standard.

Each phase acknowledges a student’s contribution, Teacher feedback and continual improvement to the course syllabus.

At the conclusion of the course, the student will have a clear understanding of his / her strengths and areas for improvement, along with an individual Student Plan to guide them toward their objectives.

Students of Braz-en can expect:

• A personalised learning program based on the student’s existing proficiency level, desired proficiency level and dedication toward learning;
• Detailed syllabus including notebooks and work exercises for student’s use in class and at home;
• Language Theory including language and grammatical concepts summarised, easily explained and exemplified, which cover the four perspectives in language studies such as:  Phonology (system of sounds); Semantic (system of meaning); Morphology (rules of word formation), and Syntax (rules of sentence formation)
• Language in Practice including activities designed to develop the four learning macro skills such as speaking, writing, listening, and reading;
• Ongoing and final assessments to gauge a student’s progression and achievements.
