About Me
italki teacher since Aug 21, 2014InterestsFoodHistoryMedical & Healthcare
I am a native European Portuguese instructor with a focus on **CAPLE exam preparation** and **cultural immersion**. My teaching approach is tailored for **students aged 15 and above**, blending structured learning with engaging discussions on Portuguese language, cuisine, and history. Whether your goal is exam success or conversational fluency, I adapt lessons to suit teens and adults who thrive in a dynamic yet methodical learning environment. Let’s transform grammar into practical dialogue and textbooks into authentic Portuguese experiences.
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I try to create a positive and motivating environment where students feel comfortable to learn and make mistakes. I am patient, organized, and adaptable to each student’s needs and goals. My main goal as a teacher is to help students gain confidence and enjoy the process of learning Portuguese.

I use a communicative approach, focusing on real-life situations and conversation practice, while also making sure to cover grammar and vocabularyMy teaching material
