Native English speaker from the U.S. with a multicultural twist! Fluent in Portuguese, Cape Verdean Creole (Kriolu or Kabuverdianu), and Spanish, I bridge languages and cultures effortlessly. Growing up in California and living in Florida taught me the power of diverse perspectives—just like in my lessons! Whether you’re mastering English or exploring the Cape Verdean language, I thrive on helping students unlock confidence through personalized, lively conversations that will help you learn to express yourself with confidence.
Me as a Teacher
I take personalized interest in each of my students. I am a friendly teacher who enjoys getting to know my students and their needs. I have a relaxed and friendly teaching style but will correct any mistakes so that you can progress in your language learning.
My lessons & teaching style
I believe that each student is an individual and so I personalize all of my lessons for each student. Let's use the first lesson to talk, discuss your goals and plan how best to reach them.

First session with Loki. I'm excited to have him coach me and help me understand and communicate in Cape Verdean Kriolu. He seems very professional and experienced as a teacher.

Foi a primeira aula…mas eu simplesmente adorei. Me senti confortável com o professor e consegui expor todas as minhas dificuldades.

Loki is an excellent teacher. He likes to talk about different topics (job, family, technology, hobbies, culture, etc.). He is a good motivator. I recommend him.

Loki answered questions, corrected my grammar, and was a great partner in helping me with Cabo Verdean Creole. I can't wait to meet with him again.
