Hi! I'm Belkis, a Paulistana from São Paulo. With 6+ years as an online teacher and volunteer for refugees, I offer a teaching style that is light, authentic, and culturally immersive. I’m a lifelong learner who brings joy and purpose to every lesson.
I believe the secret to fluency is real conversation, helping you find your voice in Portuguese through meaningful topics—from daily life to spirituality and yoga. If you're looking for practical learning with a dose of positive energy, let's connect! I'm here to help you dive headfirst into Brazilian culture and speak with confidence. See you in class!Me as a Teacher
With 6+ years in Portuguese for Foreigners and experience teaching refugees, I help students of all levels break the language barrier. My "Real-Life" approach uses Communicative Methodology where grammar is a support, not a barrier. Lessons are 100% conversational and culturally immersive—you'll learn how to speak naturally in real-world contexts. We’ll cover topics you love in a fun, judgment-free space where mistakes are part of progress. I’m here to make learning the best part of your routine! Check my schedule; if you need a specific time, just message me. Let’s start your journey to fluency together! My lessons & teaching style
Let’s start your journey! This session is designed to build a solid foundation. Here’s what we’ll do:
Level Assessment: A friendly chat to evaluate your current Portuguese proficiency.
Identify Challenges: We’ll pinpoint specific difficulties in pronunciation, grammar, or listening.
Learning Style: We’ll discuss how you learn best to tailor my approach to you.
Teaching Demo: Experience my practical, real-life methodology firsthand.
Custom Roadmap: I’ll suggest the best study plan and resources to reach your goals.
My goal is to make you feel motivated from day one. Ready to dive in? Book your trial now!My teaching material

It is always so enjoyable conversing with Belkis!
Belkis allows me to articulate my thoughts (no matter how slow I am at speaking!) and kindly provides feedback and corrections after I finish my thought. The conversation always flows and we are able to connect very easily.
I HIGHLY recommend Belkis as your next Portuguese teacher if you are looking to improve your Portuguese!

Bebel is so experienced to upgrade students step by step. When i began to follow her lesson, i only knew several words. Just after 3 months, i could chat with her in simple portugues i learned in the lessons. It is very important to open mouth to speak during language learning. If you want to find an effective teacher in portugues learning, Bebel would be the ideal choice.
