Oii! Me chamo Larissa e sou brasileira. Sou do Maranhão, mas morei em Brasília durante a maior parte da minha vida. Sou estudante de Audiovisual, escritora de ficção especulativa, apaixonada por idiomas e adoro aprender sobre outras culturas. Sou uma pessoa tranquila, paciente e criativa. No meu tempo livre, adoro ler, dançar e escrever. Acredito fielmente que uma das melhores formas de aprender um idioma é por meio da imersão cultural, e espero poder te ajudar a entender mais sobre a cultura brasileira.

Truly, Larissa is the best tutor out here. She's extremely friendly, patient, and kind, always providing encouragement where needed. It was extremely difficult for me to piece a sentence together when we first started working together, and it took me a very long time to get a few words out. Larissa was the only tutor to let me try and work through sentences without cutting me off or seeming impatient and that means a lot to me and has really helped me improve my conversation skills. She's very flexible and open to adjusting curriculum to best fit her students needs. Her lessons are always the high point of my day, and I feel like I'm talking to a friend when I'm practicing which helps put me at ease since language learning is hard! She understands the struggle because she also loves learning languages and I appreciate her so much. She's helping me accomplish what I previous thought was impossible. If iTalki would give me more room, I would write a whole essay on why Larissa is the best

One of my favorite teachers on the platform. Larissa makes learning so much fun. I really like her style of teaching. She writes words and phrases in the chat area so you are able to see them for pronunciation and keep them for further study. I always leave with more knowledge. She is very down to earth. I recommend her class to anyone who is learning Portuguese and want to do it in a fun way! Thanks!

Sempre interessante, sempre divertida! I never tires of our interactions, rather I always look forward to them. 30 mins, three times a week over the last few months, I can't imagine my week without my aulas com Larissa. Our sessions have become such an important part of my routine and I'm so grateful to have her guide me on this truly beautiful language learning journey!

Larissa is a great teacher. She is very patient and always comes well prepared to each lesson. We discuss a wide variety of topics, and she consistently gives me plenty of time to speak, ask questions, and work through my thoughts while I’m speaking. I really appreciate her supportive and encouraging teaching style.
