About Me

italki teacher since May 8, 2018

I'm Alessandra, a native Portuguese speaker from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I'm currently living in Lisbon, Portugal. 🇧🇷 ➝ 🇵🇹 I'VE JUST MOVED TO LISBON! YAY! 🥳 🥳 ⚠️ I'm on a tight schedule and my current schedule is almost full! Please check my availability from July 10th onwards. "Fluent in the language of dreams, images, passion, and poetry.” Carioca da Gema - Wanderlust - Digital Nomad Wannabe - Backpacker - Cat Lover - Cinephile 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. 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 ...

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!
