Brazilian Portuguese tutor with specialization in phonetics and pronunciation Hello everybody, I've been teaching Portuguese as a second language for about 11 years and the nicest thing is when I can see my students improving. And believe me, I have been seeing thousands of students improving in these last years. I'm a 33 year-old Brazilian, actress, Journalist and Voice Artist. I taught english for 2 years and a half, including almost a year teaching in Turkey (2015). I graduated in Communication and have studied linguistics, with a particular focus on phonetics - so if you feel you're stagnant on the language, or maybe you're having trouble with pronunciation, or want to perfect your pronunciation, or strengthen your ability to communicate and build track of thought talk to me. Classes can be fun and at the same time challenging. I'm fun and easy going but at the same time I wont let you get away with sloppy Portuguese. I care about details and a good pronunciation is as important as a good vocabulary and discourse coherence and cohesion.

I LOVED my lesson with Rafaela! My whole night got thrown off and this was the last of a few back-to-back meetings. She rolled with it and jumped into a lesson that challenged me (I get very self-conscious about speaking Portuguese) and was also a lot of fun. She spoke largely in Portuguese, repeating certain phrases (which I then learned in addition to the actual lesson). I got the feeling that I could get along well with Rafaela as well as learn a ton from her. I would highly recommend scheduling a session with her!

This has been my first lesson with Rafaela, and I can tell that it could not have been a better start. She is, above all, highly enthusiastic, and does not treat her adult student as a 10 year old (unfortunately, something very common in language training). I will be definitely repeating and take regular sessions with her. Sound and pronunciation are key for my understanding and appreciation of languages, and Rafaela's focus on accuracy in this department is outstanding for my instruction. Muito brigado, Rafaela!
