Structured Lessons for Beginners & Intermediates Hi! I’m Thais, a native Brazilian teacher with a background in history and a passion for language and culture. I help adults who’ve struggled with traditional classes finally feel confident speaking Portuguese. My lessons are practical, human, and focused on real communication, not just grammar rules. I personalize each class to fit your goals and make sure you feel seen, supported, and challenged at the right level. I’m an experienced and dedicated Portuguese teacher who truly cares about my students’ progress. I specialize in helping adults who want to finally speak with confidence after struggling with traditional methods. My background in history and education allows me to bring cultural depth and structure to each lesson. I’m patient, empathetic, and focused on real-life communication. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, supported, and always moving forward in your learning journey. My lessons are practical, flexible, and tailored to your goals. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced speaker, I adapt my teaching to fit your level, pace, and interests. I focus on real conversation, listening, pronunciation, and useful vocabulary. You’ll get personal feedback and strategies that actually work. I create a supportive space where you can feel confident making mistakes and improving naturally over time.

This was the best, most structured class that I have taken for any language on italki. Thais made things very simple to understand and answered all of my questions. Do yourself a favor and take her class.

I've had a great time learning Portuguese with Thais so far. Her poise and easy-going nature help facilitate an environment where questions and learning come easily and without issues. From presentations to more casual conversations, the classes have a variety that flow very naturally. Would highly recommend!

Her teaching methods are consistent with the adult learning model. She has you read, speak and spell in the lesson. This helps to reinforce your learning.

Thais is awesome. I appreciate how thorough she is with each part of our lesson and is willing to work at my level (beginner) and makes sure that I understand each part of our lesson plan. And she holds me accountable for homework review.

Thais uses reading, writing and speaking in her lessons! She really has developed a very good way of teaching so you really understand.

Thais is very upbeat, knowledgeable, observant and cares about understanding your learning style. She picked up my style and came up with, what sounds like, a rock solid plan. I look forward to my next class. Thank you
