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.

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!

Milena fue muy buena onda, desde el inicio me transmitió confianza y su forma de corregir me gustó mucho, algo que la verdad no he visto antes, asi que definitivamente me gustaría continuar teniendo lecciones con ella. El hecho que Milena hable español perfectamente también me ayuda a entender cosas del portugues de manera más fácil.

Great way to start off the morning with another excellent conversation class today! I like the back and forth dynamic to our conversation classes; it creates a great balance between listening/ speaking and many times I feel like I’m just having a natural conversation with somebody that I know. It’s nice to have a conversation class with a relaxed feeling but that is very productive at the same time. Milena is always very attentive and provides feedback on my speaking mistakes so that I’m mindful of the areas that I need to improve in. Super class with a super teacher!

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.

A pleasure speaking with Milena. I learned about economic anthropology and subject specific words that I'm interested in.
