Hey! What's up? ! I'm Thais, a native speaker of Brazilian Portuguese. I'm also in the process of learning foreign languages so I trully understand what it's like to be a beginner.Me as a Teacher
Eu acredito que ter acesso a outras culturas nos enriquece como seres humanos. Aprender um novo idioma é uma excelente maneira de manter nossa mente saudável, pois exercita o cérebro. Pode nos ajudar a ser mais felizes, já que conseguimos nos conectar mais com as pessoas. Portanto, te ajudar a melhorar o seu Português é muito importante para mim.

Portuguese Language Teaching for Foreigners - UNINTER - 2021During my postgraduate program in Portuguese Language Teaching for Foreigners, I studied advanced linguistics, teaching techniques, and immersed myself in my culture. I gained practical teaching experience and created materials for diverse learners. This certification enables me to teach Portuguese, create teaching materials, and offer linguistic advisory services. It also qualifies me to contribute to research in Portuguese language teaching. The program enhanced my skills for teaching.

Great lesson as always, she makes learning entertaining and she completely understands the difficulties foreigners will have with Portuguese - and helps you through many of the strange grammatical uses. All should give her classes a try, but leave a time slot open for me as well ... rsrsrs

I strongly recommend Thais for learning Portuguese at any level, she is very friendly, polite and has super interesting topics to discuss. I really enjoy all the sessions with her. My level of portugues has improved significantly by taking 2 classes per week, she has been key for this achievement. Thais is also helping me prepare for the Celpe Bras certification which is very important for me. Thank you Thais for all the hours, muito obrigado por contar com sua ajuda :) !

Amazing teacher. Exactly the teaching approach that I need. Informal conversation always combined with interesting topics for discussion that Thais always prepares with care and attention. I’m taking lessons with Thais since few months now and my Portuguese has significantly improved. Ready for the next step up in Portuguese- with Thais’s help and support! Thank you so much Thais!

I've just had my first lesson with Thais and it was perfect! She is such a positive person 🙂
I’m a complete beginner, and she was incredibly patient and supportive throughout the whole lesson. She explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and gave me a lot of useful materials to help me start learning. I already feel motivated and excited for the next class!

Learning Portuguese with Thais has been a truly inspiring experience. She combines deep knowledge of the language with a natural ability to make each lesson engaging, meaningful, and enjoyable. Thais is patient and attentive, always meeting me where I am and guiding me forward with clarity and encouragement.
What makes her stand out is not just her professionalism, but also the way she brings Brazilian culture, expression, and warmth into our classes. She creates an environment where mistakes feel like part of the journey and progress feels exciting and possible. Every session leaves me more confident and motivated to keep learning.
I’m deeply grateful for her dedication and for the creativity she brings to each lesson. With Thais, learning Portuguese becomes more than language study—it feels like connecting to a living culture through the guidance of someone who truly cares.
