About Me
italki teacher since Jun 2, 2020Interest topicTravelReadingMusicHistoryFilms & TV Series
Hello! My name is Rhuana and I am Brazilian.
I am from Recife, but currently I live in Olinda, a nearby city of Recife. Both, as well as the State where they are - Pernambuco - are rich in popular culture and known for their carnival. Different rhythms, artistic and cultural movements and a traditional cuisine characterize these cities. I bring with me, then, a little of all this cultural effervescence of my State, which makes me so happy and proud.
I love literature, cinema, TV series, music… I also love to travel, to know new cultures, new languages…
Portuguese is my first language, but I also speak French, English and a bit of Spanish.Me as a Teacher
I have a Languages degree (Portuguese and French) from the UFPE and I did a postgraduate course in Applied Linguistics to Portuguese Language Teaching in the FAFIRE. I also had the opportunity to study Didactics for Languages for six months in the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, in Paris.
Since 2011, I work as a teacher of Portuguese (as first and foreign language) and French and I’ve had experiences in schools, language courses, online lessons… So I have a large experience teaching both of them and I had the opportunity to teach students with different levels, profiles and goals. My lessons are dynamic, fun and prepared according to the student's objective and interests.My lessons & teaching style
I use grids, based on the CEFR, which indicate what needs to be developed at each level (A1, A2…). Therefore, initially I need to identify the student's level and check if it is necessary to review or develop something from a previous level.
However, according to the student's objective, the learning organization can be totally different.
But, in all cases, my lessons are dynamic and constantly explore students' linguistic practice.
Also, I believe that sociocultural aspects are extremely important in the process of learning a language, since it is, above all, social. Therefore, these aspects will be always present in our lessons.My teaching material

Rhuana is very organized, patient, and uses different methods to convey understanding of Brazilian portuguese in her lessons. I warmly recommend studying with her because the teaching styles she adopts is engaging and fun!

J'adore le style d'enseignement de Rhuana! J'ai l'impression que je fais du progrès rapidement grâce à sa façon très immersive d'enseigner. Pendant la leçon on fait de tout: de l'oral, de l'écrit, de la compréhension, et elle fait attention à ma prononciation, ce que je trouve important. Elle me parle uniquement en portugais depuis le début, et elle essaye d'expliquer tout en portugais, ce que j'apprécie beaucoup. Je recommande surtout pour ceux qui parlent aussi le français vu qu'elle enseigne les deux langues.
I cannot recommend Rhuana enough! She is a great teacher and I really like her style. I feel like I have made very quick progress with her. We always do a variety of exercises: speaking, listening, writing, and she pays attention to my pronunciation as well, which I find really important. Her style is very immersive and she speaks portuguese with me as much as possible. Her lessons are really engaging and I highly recommend her!
