Native of Bahia and proud resident of Salvador, I bring the warm accent of Bahia into my teaching, along with a relaxed methodology designed to help you speak Portuguese with confidence. With a degree in Tourism and years of experience as a tutor, I’ve crafted lessons that blend practical conversation, cultural insights, and real-life scenarios. If you’re looking to overcome the fear of speaking and learn in a natural way, let’s have a conversation!

Me as a Teacher
O meu foco é ajudar a pessoa a falar melhor sobre qualquer assunto, usando técnicas e frases comuns que podem ser aplicadas. Em geral, gosto de estabelecer assuntos específicos com os meus alunos na nossa primeira aula e estabelecer quais são as dificuldades e o que desejam melhorar. Gosto bastante de ouvir histórias e trocar experiências culturais.

Diogo is a great teacher. The lessons flow very naturally and always feel light, energetic and fun. At the same time he’s very detail oriented. Although I make many mistakes I always feel encouraged to continue rather than judged. Highly recommend.

Diogo is super friendly and great at helping me with my pronunciation, even with the more subtle aspects of speaking. He also helped me choose which phrases to use over others to give my speaking variety and seem more authentically Brazilian. The majority of teachers on Italki seem to be from central or southern Brazil, so definitely add Diogo to the mix to get variety in accents (Diogo speaks very clearly, so don't worry about that). Highly recommended!

I have had more than five lessons with Diogo now, and am enjoying our virtual meetings very much: Diogo is a very kind and pleasant teacher; in our dialogues, he adapts speed and pronunciation to my individual needs; he focuses on his students, involving you in active conversations on all topics “around the world”, and never losing his personal interest. Highly recommended.

Diogo is an excellent teacher, and he makes the classes fun. He reviews the words and phrases that I struggled with and helps improve my pronunciation and grammar. He also made some great suggestions for podcasts and videos to enhance my efforts.
