Maria C.

Olá! / Hello! / ¡Hola!

I'm a native Portuguese speaker from Rio de Janeiro 🇧🇷

I'm a passionate language teacher and learner, with over 10 years of experience in language exchange and teaching. I offer personalized Portuguese lessons in English, Spanish or Portuguese, for all levels — from complete beginners to advanced speakers.

In our classes, you'll learn grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening, reading, and writing — always in a way that’s meaningful to you. I adapt each lesson to your goals, needs and interests, because I believe we learn best when we’re curious, motivated and having fun.

You'll also discover cultural insights and curiosities from Brazil, especially from Rio de Janeiro, to connect deeply with the language and its context.

Let's make your Portuguese journey natural, effective, and enjoyable.

See you in class! :)

I hold a Cambridge English Certificate, studied French for four years, and learned Spanish by speaking and living it.

These experiences taught me that learning a language isn’t about memorizing rules — it’s about living the experience, connecting with stories, sounds, and emotions.

That’s why my approach balances structure and spontaneity, focusing on real communication — speaking, writing, listening, and expressing yourself naturally.

We’ll use authentic materials such as Brazilian songs, art, and cultural texts to make learning both meaningful and fun.

Book a trial lesson!

Shall we start this adventure together? ✨

I’ll guide you with patience, curiosity, and energy — so you won’t just learn Portuguese, you’ll live it.
