Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 4. May 2021
My name is Catarina, I'm from Porto, Portugal and I am a bilingual portuguese tutor. I have lived in 5 different countries - Portugal, Spain, Austria, UAE and now I live in France.
After working for 7 years as a Flight Attendant, flying to 60+ countries and working with 140+ nationalities, I have learned to adapt to pretty much any culture, person or situation.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have always had a big interest in languages (also accents :D). Having moved to different countries makes me understand your struggle as I also had to go through the process of learning a new language myself - btw, I'm learning French at the moment. So I know that the first step is the hardest!
However, you can take that first step with me and I will help you get to the level you want :)
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I am pretty flexible here: if you want to have 100% conversational classes or if you want to go deep into portuguese grammar, I can adapt. I usually use a wide range of teaching methods - we can do exercises, but we can also read articles or listen to songs. We can even read portuguese poetry, if that's something you like :)
Structured sessions that are fun, challenging and very helpful. I'm learning a lot and can highly recommend Catarina.

Catarina is an amazing teacher. She always speaks in a very clear and understanding way, however at the same time she manages to challenge you. There is a great balance of structure whilst maintaining freedom to speak about topics and flow through conversation. I always end the class with a full page of new notes about the Portuguese language!

Another wonderful class, muito obrigada! Thanks to Catarina and our lessons, I feel prepared to communicate in Portuguese in a variety of real-life situations. She does an excellent job of correcting mistakes and sharing new vocabulary in each session. Some of our classes are conversation-based, some are structured grammar lessons, and others are a mix. The balance helps me to learn new concepts and put them into practice right away.

I am learning a ton with Catarina! After just a few lessons, I feel more confident in my comprehension, speaking, and reading abilities. Our classes are a mix of grammar and conversation. I believe she is an excellent choice for English and Spanish speakers.

Catarina ist eine sehr aufmerksame und warmherzige Lehrerin. Von der ersten Minuten an war die Lernatmosphäre sehr angenehm. Ich habe die Probestunde mit Catarina sehr genossen!
