About Me
italki teacher since Sep 30, 2020InterestsReadingMusicArtWritingFilms & TV Series
KIDS AND ADULTS 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.Me as a Teacher
Tenho ensinado português no italki desde 2020. Minhas aulas são informais e focadas no português falado. Vou te ajudar a corrigir as transferências negativas do seu idioma nativo e deixar correções escritas no chat, além de sugestões de frases que soem mais naturais.
Sempre busco criar um espaço acolhedor e descontraído, onde os alunos se sintam seguros para falar, cometer erros e formular suas frases sem interrupções ou julgamentos.
My classes are informal and focused on spoken Portuguese. I will help you correct negative transfers from your native language and leave written corrections in the chat, as well as suggestions for phrases that sound more natural. My lessons & teaching style
Minhas aulas são personalizadas de acordo com seus objetivos e interesses. Nas aulas de conversa, costumo falar em um ritmo nativo natural para ajudar a treinar seu ouvido, mas posso diminuir o ritmo ou explicar de uma maneira mais simples, se necessário.
Nas aulas de gramática, gosto de usar músicas, jogos e explicações simples para mostrar que a gramática do português brasileiro é bem mais descomplicada do que os livros fazem parecer. Também foco mais no português falado do que no escrito, então vou te ajudar a identificar quais tempos verbais e conjugações são raramente usados em contextos reais.My teaching material

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

My class with Larissa was great. The class was conversational and Larissa is always super down to earth and patient with me. She writes all words and phrases in the chat so that is visible for visual learners such as myself. I highly recommend anyone learning Portuguese to take her class.

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 such a great conversationalist- she understands the first rule of being a great conversationalist which is being a great listener… her class today was a job very well done by her!
