About Me
italki teacher since Feb 17, 2020InterestsMusicWritingReadingTravelFilms & TV Series
Hello! My name is Tatianna, but call me Tati! I’ve been teaching English and Portuguese for 9 years, 5 of them online. Before that, I tried being a lawyer—but quickly realized my passion was elsewhere. A year of volunteer work across Europe led me to teaching, and I never looked back.
Since then, I’ve lived in China, Europe, and Argentina, while traveling through South America, Southeast Asia, and beyond. I’m always on the move, teaching as I go. Outside the classroom, I love literature, running, and days at the beach. I also speak Spanish and French, and I’m currently learning Italian.Me as a Teacher
I’ve worked with children, teenagers, adults, and corporate learners. I taught at different language schools in Brazil and spent a year teaching in China. I’ve been teaching on iTalki for about 5 years.
For Portuguese, I’m a native speaker and prepare my own lesson materials. I have structured lessons for any level or learning style, but I also create fully customized lessons.
For English, I’m CELTA-certified and experienced in general English, Business English, and exam preparation. I tailor lessons to your goals and preferred style. Prefer a coursebook? I can provide one. Prefer something different? I’ll design lessons with authentic, practical materials. My lessons & teaching style
Are you tired of repeating the same type of lesson, or following a coursebook that feels too easy—or too hard? I will personalize your lessons. We’ll build a student–teacher connection that helps you grow confidence and tell me what you need. Not sure what you need? I’ll help you figure it out.
We won’t waste time on topics you already know, or on things that are too advanced right now. We’ll move at your pace, always focused on the real reasons you want to learn a new language. Why go over the present simple again, when what you actually need is to survive the airport?
Every class comes with a study plan, materials, homework, and feedback. And yes—I will push you to talk!My teaching material

Tati is very professional and is very skilled at a structured curriculum. I asked her to be firm and she does not disappoint. I need that to balance me out when it comes to learning the language. Can not recommend her enough.
