About me
Translated
Hi! My name is Diná! I'm Portuguese, but I also speak French fluently!
I can say that professionally, I have two passions: teaching and volunteering.
My love for teaching became clear back in elementary school. I used to tutor younger students!
Currently, I tutor mainly in Portuguese. I have experience with both in-person and online classes.
Regarding volunteering, I work with families and the elderly (entertainment, care, and teaching). I've had the pleasure of teaching seniors to read and write!
I love chatting, meeting new people and cultures, and reading! I find happiness in the simplest things in life! I celebrate every progress a student makes!
I live in the city of Coimbra, known as the city of knowledge, because it hosts one of the oldest universities in the world!
I have a degree in Education, specializing in Adult Education and Community Intervention. I also hold a Pedagogical Aptitude Certificate for Trainers.
I've taught many seniors to read and write.
As a profession, I've been tutoring various subjects (mainly Portuguese and French) for 10 years.
I taught Portuguese to foreigners for 4 years.
My teaching is based on the constructivist methodology! This means my lessons are personalized, designed with the student in mind, who thus takes the most important role.
I simply facilitate the student's learning, providing them with the knowledge and tools necessary to develop their full potential in a simple, natural, and enjoyable way.
The relationship I establish with each student is one of cordiality and friendship.
I'm here to help you learn Portuguese in a personalized way!
Try a Portuguese lesson with me!
Your needs, tastes, and desires will be my priority! The study material will be adapted to you! Let's achieve your goals together!
I share a quote from Mahatma Gandhi: Today you find it tiring, but later, you will receive the reward for all the time you spent studying.

Dina is a very good teacher, my daughter is progressing well with her support and she is learning how to speak Portuguese so she can maintain a conversation with her family and close friends. My daughter and myself feel very happy with the progress shown and we notice a growing confidence in my daughter when she speaks Portuguese. We definitely recommend Dina to anyone who would like to learn the language. Thank you Dina.
