About Me
italki teacher since May 8, 2018Me as a Teacher
My goal as your teacher is to improve and hone your speaking skills! I have many topics of interest that we can talk about =) I'm easy to talk with, outspoken and a good listener. During our classes, I'll pay attention to your issues/needs/difficulties and I'll take notes on them to be discussed during each class.
I love talking, but I love grammar as well. So, if you want, we can follow a textbook and have structured lessons. But always using everything that we learned in spontaneous conversations and in role-playing games! Learning a new language can be fun =)
At the moment teaching isn't just about working, it's a hobby and a vocation as well, which I'm extremely obsessed with. My lessons & teaching style
I'll provide tailor-made lessons for you! I develop a bunch of materials (including presentations and documents on google drive with passages from textbooks, images, videos, audios, articles, study cases, etc) that will help you to achieve your goals.
I can help you in different situations:
(1) Brazilian Portuguese for travelers
(2) Brazilian Portuguese for a work interview
(3) Conversation: any subject you want to learn/improve
(4) Grammar and language structure: from basics to advanced
(5) Preparation to CELPE-Bras exam
(6) Portuguese for Spanish-speakersMy teaching material

Thanks to Alessandra's help, I received "Avançado Superior" on my my Celpe-Bras! If you are considering taking the exam, I'm sure Alessandra will be a great teacher to help with both sections of the exam. She's patient and encouraging while making sure my Portuguese is correct. Muito obrigada!

Alessandra is a great teacher! She prepares a large amount of materials, including exercises and audio to listen during class or outside of the class. She is very patient and explains concepts clearly. We talk about a range of topics and I really enjoy her classes.

I love having lessons with Alessandra. She's always so interesting to talk to about a lot of topics and she always has useful material for anything you can ask her.
She's also very attentive with my pronunciation and grammar, and has helped me notice mistakes I was making without realizing it.
I always find corrected and written down the sentences I say wrong so I can review them. I really like that.
I'd recommend her to anyone wanting to learn Portuguese. You'll learn a lot and love it!
