About Me

InterestsHistoryFilms & TV SeriesTravelMusicFood
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! 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. Uso tópicos específicos de conversação, faço uso de vídeos, descrição de imagens, exercícios práticos de gramática e leitura de artigo.

Super class today!! The attention to detail is second to none - I think it takes a lot for an instructor to be tuned into the student’s conversation while catching mistakes and being ready to give detailed feedback on them all- I really appreciate being in a class like this and I can easily see how this type of class will help me to grow so much in the near future ! Can’t wait until next class!!!

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!

Diogo has a gift when it comes to listening and patience. Also, he knows how to create the perfect environment where the student can let go and speak without any inhibitions. Super teacher!!

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 a great teacher, especially for me as I am looking to practice speaking. He is kind and helpful and the conversation flows easily (even if my level is low!). Would recommend!

As ever Diogo provided enough ideas for our conversation-focused lesson to encourage me to practise my spoken Portuguese.
