Who Am I?

Hi there! My name’s Matheus, but you can call me Matt!

I’m a multilingual educator and the founder of Ludens: Learning Voyage.

A Mentor Who Understands
As a self-taught polyglot, I know the path to fluency intimately, both the frustration and the thrill. My method is born from this experience, validated by years of teaching and elite-level certifications (DALF, TOEFL). I understand the journey because I’ve walked it myself.

Learning With Soul
I created Ludens to make learning into a joyful, fulfilling experience in the ways that I can. My approach blends the insights of modern science with the art of human connection. We use the art and the culture you love—from cinema to music to videogames—to break down your barriers and build your confidence.

There is no greater reward for me than seeing students begin to think, feel and truly experience life in a new language. If you’re looking for a method that combines certified expertise with a deep, human-centered passion and real results—you’ve come to the right place.

Let’s get this voyage started.
