Social Scientist | Cultural Immersion, Travel & Latin Rhythms | Fluent in Spanish (+ 6ys exp) Hello! My name is Milena, a Brazilian passionate about culture, dance, and travel. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Social Sciences (Anthropology, Sociology, and Political Science) as well as a teaching license (licenciatura) in Education and Sociology. My research interests include immigration, economic anthropology, and digital sociology/anthropology. I also bring four years of experience as a UX/CX Researcher for an international Mexican consultancy. After a while, I’m back on italki to share Brazil’s diverse culture with you. My schedule is currently wide open with plenty of slots, making booking seamless with no need to reschedule. In my lessons, you’ll find a safe, supportive space where mistakes are celebrated as part of the learning journey. After each class, I put together a PDF document with notes on what you can adjust in your speech, whenever I need to step in with corrections. I send materials and assign homework consisting of a 2-minute audio recording. Leveraging my research background, I bridge traditional grammar with real-world fluency, immersing you in Brazilian history, regional cultures, and social dynamics: Conversation (A1–C2): Immersive practice focused on fluency and writing with live feedback. Regional Cultures (A1–C2): Explore Brazil's 5 regions with a native teacher and PDF guide. Social Sciences (B1–C2): In-depth discussions on race, class, and gender using curated articles.

I really enjoy classes with Milena. She is very patient, compassionate and intelligent. I have learned so much about Brazilian Portuguese language and everyday expressions. My favorite part is reviewing interesting articles and having a great discussion to improve my speaking and listening skills. I also love learning about Brazil. Thank so much and I highly recommend Milena as your next teacher.

This course is like a graduate reading course where you get to develop your course syllabus. SO MUCH FUN! I really enjoy how Milena approaches the conversation and the texts she sends me to read (as many or as little as I want) are both interesting and challenging. Milena is super knowledgeable on the topics but breaks it down in ways that make it super fun to learn. I highly recommend for those who want to go more in depth from the usual conversation classes.

A aula com Milena foi excelente. Ela corrigiu imediatamente muitos dos meus erros, especialmente quando eu usava palavras em espanhol, e explicou como dizer tudo corretamente em português. Conversámos sobre vários temas e a aula foi muito dinâmica. Depois de apenas uma hora, já me sinto muito mais confiante e motivado para continuar a aprender.

Milena é uma excelente professora! Adoro nossas aulas de conversação. Conversamos sobre temas profundos relacionados à cultura e, dessa forma, através da língua, consigo compreender cada vez mais a cultura brasileira. Ela domina muito bem o espanhol, o que também é um grande diferencial. Muitas vezes, ela explica e chama a minha atenção para as interferências do espanhol no meu português, o que me ajuda a tornar o meu português cada vez mais natural. Também gosto muito do fato de que, depois da aula, recebo um resumo detalhado, muitas recomendações de filmes do cinema brasileiro e atividades criativas!

Tive algumas aulas de conversação com a Milena e gostei muito! Ela sempre traz temas interessantes sobre sociedade, cultura e aspectos do Brasil, o que torna as conversas muito agradáveis e variadas. É uma ótima maneira de praticar português de forma natural e aprender coisas novas ao mesmo tempo. Recomendo muito as aulas com a Milena!
