When I'm not teaching, you might find me playing the guitar, crocheting, or relaxing with my three cats and my dog. I actually taught myself English, so I know exactly what it feels like to tackle a new language from zero. I know the frustrations, but I also know the best shortcuts! I believe learning Portuguese should be about connecting with the people and the culture. My main priority is to create a welcoming, respectful environment. I hold a degree in English from the Federal University of Alagoas (UFAL). My journey as a teacher began during my university studies, where I taught English to the local community and fellow students as part of a university-led project.

Karine is a very calm, positive, caring and a creative teacher to study Portuguese with. In my first class she taught me different kind of phrases that I can use to talk to people in Portuguese during my travels. She also encouraged me to speak the language so that I can learn new words and improve my speaking skills. It was a nice class to understand and connect with the Portuguese language.
