Hi! I’m Cássio, a Brazilian Portuguese teacher from Rio de Janeiro, now living in California. I hold a degree in Philosophy Education from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, and my teaching background spans philosophy, music, language and museum education. I currently teach Portuguese to diplomats, tailoring our lessons to both everyday conversations and professional situations.
Growing up in a favela in Rio gave me a close connection to Brazil’s popular culture, its creativity, music, and ways of telling stories. Alongside my background in philosophy and the arts, these roots shape my lessons: we explore expressions, songs, and cultural perspectives that help you understand both the language and the people who speak it.
You can expect a welcoming space to practice, make mistakes, and build confidence. I adapt lessons to your interests and goals, combining conversation, pronunciation, and clear grammar explanations. Whether you’re learning for travel, work, or a connection with Brazil, I’ll help you express yourself naturally and find your own voice in Portuguese.
