Oi, pessoal!! My name is Marielle. I’m a graduated English teacher with a specialization in teaching Portuguese as a foreign language. I have more than 10 years of teaching experience, 6 of these teaching Portuguese lessons, and I want to believe that I am getting better at it everyday 😂 . I love challenges and I challenge you to have a great journey exploring this beautiful language with me!Me as a Teacher
Teaching has always been my passion.
After I got my first college degree, I started to explore Portuguese as a foreign language universe just out of curiosity. Then I fell in love with the idea and experience of showing and spreading our language to the world. Now I hold a post graduate degree in this field and I have a degree in translation studies as well.
Besides being teacher Marielle, I am also a gym lover, an ardent baiana, and a forever life learner and I love challenges .
I will love to know your reasons for studying Brazilian Portuguese so that we can learn together how to discover this language in you. I believe that you already know much more about the language than you think.My lessons & teaching style
I work with the approach of exploring the language from a rich variation of aspects, but especially connecting to the sounds and the rhythm, the eagerness to acquire more vocabulary and the curiosity to understand how our culture reflects on the way we speak. However, I also recognize the importance of grammar and, in my experience, my students and I have been analyzing these aspects from a much easier place.
For me, it is very important that the student feels comfortable and confident when speaking Portuguese. That’s why I am always providing tips and observations, but always trying to respect each student's different process.
Feel free to message me if you have any doubts ☺️☺️My teaching material

Como sempre foi uma ótima aula com a Marielle.
Estou estudando com ela uma hora por semana há 3 meses e tenho progredido bastante.
Nossas últimas aulas foram sobre colocação pronominal e pronomes oblíquos átonos, o plural metafônico, acentuação, e regência verbal.
Também sempre dedicamos uma parte da aula à conversação.
Ela sempre prepara bastante as aulas com material adaptado ao que preciso aprender.
Além disso a Marielle é muito simpática e as aulas são muito divertidas!
A great lesson as usual with Marielle!
She has been teaching me one hour a week for 3 months and I have made significant progress.
Our last lessons focused on "colocação pronominal", "plural metafônico", and "regência verbal".
We also dedicate part of each lesson to conversation.
She always prepares thoroughly the lessons with material adapted to what I need to learn.
Moreover, Marielle is very friendly and the lessons are always fun!
Jérôme.

Marielle has an amazing ability to make students feel comfortable. She can conduct conversations on a wide variety of topics, and as a result, class time flies so quickly that it's often hard to believe that an hour has passed. I love learning everyday-Portuguese conversation this way. I am already looking forward to my next lesson. Thank you, Marielle!

First lesson was great! I feel extremely comfortable and safe with Marielle. I am excited to continue learning with her. She has thoughtfully assessed my level and provided valuable homework. I know I will improve quickly with her guidance.

I have worked with Marielle for around 3-4 years now, having weekly hour-long meetings with her. She is by all accounts a great teacher. I would say that her strengths are in empathizing with students and making them feel at ease during the sensitive periods of gaining confidence in another language. Responsive to individual situation, sensitive to student feelings, friendly and always professional (without ever seeming impersonal), Marielle has demonstrated herself countless times as a dependable language teacher. As a professor, myself, I recognize other good educators. In addition to her kind demeanor and professional comportment, she has always been prepared for our lessons. In working with her I have been able to achieve advanced/intermediate proficiency in the language, and I hope to continue my work with her towards fluency and beyond.
