Friendly and patient teacher with over 5 years of teaching experience 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. 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.

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

A great class as usual. I always learn new words and phrases in Larissa’s class. She writes all of the notes in the chat for reference later which is very helpful. I recommend her class to anyone who wants to learn while having fun. 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 focused and patient teacher. I really enjoyed our first lesson and the specific feedback that I received which was delivered in a very organized way and didn’t interrupt the conversation at all. We spoke about popular Netflix series from Brazil as well as opinions about AI. Really appreciative of her effort and guidance!
