Hey there. My name is Joana and I live in Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. I started studying English in 2012 and I fell in love with this beautiful language. On the other hand, I also love Portuguese, and I think it’s such a rich and diverse language - just like our culture! I love traveling, meeting new people, connecting with new cultures, and sharing more about Brazil, its culture, music, food, places to visit, or about other things you may be interested in. As a community tutor here on italki I have been helping people from many different countries to improve their skills in Portuguese since 2020. I truly understand how challenging it can be to learn a new language, and I believe having a safe space to ask questions, make mistakes and practice as much as you need is essencial in the process - that's why I am here! My classes are very flexible, and I've helped both beginner, intermediate and advanced students improve their Portuguese (I do not offer children’s lessons, though). I will adapt the lessons for each student according to what they want to work on, as well as use different tools and websites to better match your learning goals! I believe the best way to learn is to challenge yourself into having conversations that may be hard in the beginning, but will help you with fluency, pronunciation and flow! - I am looking forward to it!

After almost 30 lessons with Joana I can say with confidence that Joana is a phenomenal teacher. Her English is great so communication is very easy. I feel very comfortable speaking, expressing myself and making mistakes, she creates a very positive environment for teaching. She is intelligent, patient, calm and overall a great person. Each time I look forward to my lesson knowing I will learn something new and be in good company. Obrigado Joana, 10/10 recommend.

I am a beginner Portuguese learner and I really struggle to speak but Joanna has made it feel very easy! She also speaks phenomenal English so it's easy to ask anything I need in English. I really recommend taking a class with her!
