Hi, I’m Daia!
I love cultural exchange and meeting people from around the world. I'm here to help you build confidence and keep improving your Portuguese in a positive way.
My lessons are organized so you can clearly see your progress. I use an interactive board where we can write and edit together, keeping things dynamic and fun. After each class, I share notes to make review easy.
And if you just want a nice chat in Portuguese, you’re totally welcome! Learning should feel light, natural, and full of good vibes, and in my classes, good humor is not only included... it’s highly encouraged! 😄
Me as a Teacher
I’ve worked with students from different backgrounds and learning goals – from complete beginners taking their first steps in Portuguese to advanced learners fine-tuning their fluency. My approach is based on patience, adaptability, and clear communication, so each student feels supported in their progress. Seeing them grow more confident and independent is what keeps me passionate about teaching.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are tailored to your level and interests. I focus on helping you speak naturally and confidently in everyday situations, with plenty of interaction, hands-on practice, and a relaxed atmosphere. Together, we’ll bring Portuguese into your daily life.

Tive a minha segunda aula com a Daia e percebi que a base é realmente muito importante. Usamos um material básico e, ao mesmo tempo em que consolidamos os fundamentos, conseguimos expandir para vários outros assuntos. Assim, aprendo novas palavras, gramática e também as conjugações verbais. Acho que esse é o método de aprendizado que eu quero neste momento. Até mais!

Had a great first lesson with Daia. We did introductions, discussed goals, and practiced some basic Portuguese phrases.

Tive minha primeira aula com a Daia e passei uma hora muito feliz. Ela me deu muita vontade de me expressar. Agradeço muito pelo incentivo dela. A professora traz conteúdos adequados ao meu nível. Acredito que para quem quer realmente começar a falar português, ter aulas com a Daia é uma ótima escolha. Até logo!!
