Olá, tudo bem?
Portuguese is a beautiful, expressive language — and I’m here to help you master it with confidence!

I’ve taught learners of all ages, backgrounds, and levels — from complete beginners to advanced speakers — and I truly enjoy seeing my students thrive.
In addition to teaching languages, I also participate in teacher training programs and academic support. I have a degree in Languages (Portuguese and English) and have completed internationally recognized teaching qualifications such as CELTA and ICELT from the University of Cambridge.
Whether you’re learning Brazilian Portuguese for travel, work, or simply for the love of the language, I’m here to support you every step of the way!
