E aí, beleza? Eu sou a Thais, sou nativa do português brasileiro. Também estou no processo de aprendizado de línguas estrangeiras, então realmente entendo como é ser iniciante.
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.
I believe that having access to other cultures enriches us as human being. Learning a new language is a great way to keep our minds healthy as it exercises our brains. It can also help us to be happier, as we can connect more with people. Therefore, helping you improve your Portuguese is very important for me.

Certificates
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

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 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 :) !

I always learn a ton of vocabulary with Thais and practice my pronunciations since I’m still new to the language. I also find the exercises in the workbook very helpful and can always ask her follow-up questions and clarifications. Muito obrigado!
