About Me
italki teacher since Feb 27, 2012InterestsHistoryFilms & TV SeriesMusicEnvironment & NatureReading
Olá! I’m a Brazilian Portuguese teacher from São Paulo, blending language and culture since 2006.
🎯 **CELPE-BRAS expert**—I’ll train you to ace both exam parts.
📖 Love Brazilian literature? Let’s explore Clarice Lispector, Carolina Maria de Jesus, and modern authors together—while you learn!
✨ **Bonus:** I write graded readers and stories just for learners.Me as a Teacher
Let's read Brazilian Literature together while you learn more about Brazilian Culture, History and practice speaking.
I also teach absolute beginners and prepare students to take the Celpe-bras exam.
I graduated in languages (Portuguese and English) and I have been teaching one-to-one and group classes since 2006, in schools and companies. I started working online in 2010. Since then, I have helped students to pass tests and also to communicate in Portuguese in order to move to Brazil, to travel or even to use Portuguese at work.
I've taken a training course to help students prepare for Celpe-Bras and I have plenty of experience with beginners of different nationalities.My lessons & teaching style
When you first book a lesson with me, please write me a message telling me your objective and your level.
We are going to work on the 4 skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) including videos, pictures, etc whenever it is possible.
If you are a more advanced student, but still finds it hard to have a conversation in Portuguese, we'll focus on listening and speaking.
After the lessons, you'll have notes to review and homework.My teaching material

Luciana is fantastic! I did not know a word of Portuguese to start and with her patient guidance I am really progressing with the language.

Lu is one of the most professional teacher on the platform. It is hard to find a teacher with whom you want to study as soon as you have some time. The reason why I keep studying with her is simple, she arrives on time, she has empathy, she is focused on what you need and does not impose her style even though she could with her materials and knowledge. She gives me extra material and offers to edit my texts to improve my writing. She does think about time if she has time and I get along with her because her personality matches mine. But most importantly, you can only study for a long time with the same person if the person shares the same values.
Thanks so much for bringing me to the B2 level in such a short time!
