🗣️ Taught by a Native Speaker – With a Universal Approach
I teach using a clear and neutral Brazilian Portuguese accent, and I make sure students learn pronunciation and vocabulary that can be understood across Portuguese-speaking countries. We also highlight cultural differences, idioms, and curiosities to make language learning meaningful and fun.

🎨 My Teaching Style
Each class blends visuals, guided conversation, repetition, and student interaction. Learners may also practice writing or reading short phrases. I love incorporating curious cultural facts, age-appropriate comparisons, and learner interests into each lesson—your learner is welcome to suggest themes!

📣 Need an informal assessment?
I offer on-the-spot feedback in class or by parent request via private message.
