"Oi! I am a native speaker of Portuguese from Porto Alegre, Brazil living in Nashville, Tennessee. I've been teaching Portuguese for about 13 years now. I'm also a registered State Court Interpreter, Immigration Interpreter, and translator. Portuguese language is my passion!!

I have a degree in Modern Languages and Literature, majoring in Portuguese & English from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre - Brasil.

My lessons:

My lessons can easily fit your schedule, they can be 30 min, 45 min, 60 min and up and you pay the hourly rate accordingly.

** You will speak Portuguese from your first lesson! **

** Your lessons are based on your goals and needs. **

My lessons cover:

speaking, reading, listening, and writing.

Conversation and feedback.

Reading Brazilian Portuguese articles, news, and books for discussion.

My typical students:

*My students usually take Portuguese for tourism, work, exchange programs (Fulbright Scholarship), missionary work, for practicing for the Oral Proficiency Exam (OPI), for communicating with Brazilian in-laws and friends, practicing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, and more.

*Brazilians who are raised in the USA: if you grew up speaking Portuguese and English and need help with Portuguese grammar, reading and writing, I can help you.

*I also have experience in training students for the OPI (Oral Proficiency Interview).

* I have been teaching English for Brazilians in Nashville and online as well. Having a Brazilian tutor can be an advantage if your level of English is basic and you need a boost to get fluent. (Perfect for Brazilian spouses having difficulties communicating).

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Obrigada!" less...
