Meet your teacher.
Native speaker, passionate guide, and your Brazilian Portuguese companion for the long haul.
Born in São Paulo,
teaching the world.
I was born in São Paulo, Brazil, and I'm proud to share a piece of my culture through language. I've been teaching English to children since 2012.
After moving to Europe, I began teaching Brazilian Portuguese online in 2018, helping people from around the world connect more deeply with Brazil. Teaching isn't just my job — it's my passion.
On Instagram, I created Portuguesing, a space where I share tips, insights, and resources to make learning Portuguese easier and more enjoyable. Every post is inspired by my love for the language and my desire to help students feel confident, connected, and motivated throughout their learning journey.

How I teach.
Speaking from lesson one
We talk from the very first session. No weeks of theory before you open your mouth — you start building real phrases on day one and never stop.
Lessons built around you
Your goals, your schedule, your interests. Whether you're preparing for a trip, a job, or a family reunion — the path is structured around what matters to you.
Culture baked in
Language without culture is just vocabulary. We explore music, food, humour, and customs so you understand not just what people say, but why.
