Foreign Languages TeacherIn different cities - Belfast, GroßbritannienI have been teaching Portuguese, English and Italian for over 20 years in different countries.
I have been studying Portuguese for just 10 months, and the progress I’ve made is nothing short of remarkable. Thanks to Cintía's exceptional instruction, I am now confident speaking and interacting in Portuguese in real-life situations.
What truly sets this teacher apart is her ability to make the language feel natural and intuitive. My pronunciation, fluency, and comprehension have improved so significantly that native Portuguese speakers often assume I am Brazilian—a compliment I never expected to receive in such a short time.
The lessons are well-structured, engaging, and tailored to real conversations, not just textbook Portuguese. The teacher is patient, encouraging, and deeply knowledgeable, creating an environment where learning feels both effective and enjoyable.
I highly recommend this teacher to anyone serious about mastering Portuguese.

Cintia is an absolutely fantastic teacher. Incredibly patient, generous and offers lots of opportunities to practice. She provides homework if required and will help you with any questions you have. I find her lessons endlessly helpful with both Italian and Portuguese and cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Cintia

Cintia is an amazing teacher, one whom I put my entire trust in. She is so patient that I never feel rushed, and I always have space to ask questions, formulate sentences or clear any doubts immediately. Her materials are immaculate and highly interactive, and she is diligent in her preparation in advance of the lesson. I can't recommend her highly enough.

I have been studying with Cintía for over a year now, doing private Italian lessons. In that time, I have averaged roughly 1 lesson per week, each lesson being 1 hour. Since starting to work with Cintía I have gone from a complete beginner in the language with no prior knowledge to being able to carry out conversations and enjoy Italian content such as podcasts and films. Cintía is a very professional and capable instructor. I am always being provided with feedback, lesson plans, homework, and encouragement. I would highly recommend her to any student looking to learn any of the several languages she is highly skilled in.
