I have a bachelor's in Linguistics, and a Master's diploma in Teaching Portuguese as a 2nd Language. I'm currently finishing my Master's thesis and investigating interlanguage and errors made by Spanish Portuguese learners.
I've always worked with communications, content production, and teaching and managing teams. I currently work in Marketing, and create corporate learning materials.
I like meeting new people and I love to talk. I also find languages and grammar fascinating. I can help you if you're looking for someone to practice with, or someone to create exercises for your needs.
I love difficult questions, and I also love the Portuguese culture, so feel free to ask me anything :)

Me as a Teacher
I've been teaching in all sorts of situations for a long time: tutoring students to improve their grades, tutoring young Portuguese and Brazillian writers to improve their skills, mentoring coworkers and new colleagues...
I think the teacher should adapt and improve the experience for every student, and I do my best to help.
I speak Spanish and English fluently, and I've also tried to learn French and German, so I will use all my experience from my own journey to help you!
I will ask a lot about your current language knowledge, past learning experiences and, most importantly, your goals, to find the best approach to make sure you're learning smoothly, and actually enjoying the process.
My lessons & teaching style
I believe that language learning works best through active practice, with lots of talking and exposure.
But people practice more when they like what they are learning.
I always ask WHY my students want to learn Portuguese, so we can focus on things that will definitely be useful.
I won't teach you business Portuguese if you plan to spend 6 months vacationing, and I won't teach you how to order cocktails if you want to learn polite Portuguese for a business trip.
I focus on useful content, and I adapt the materials I use to the students' preferences: some people are more visual, some prefer to talk, others like listening to music...
And I like to use the best material for each student.

A top-tier teacher! From the first lesson, I knew Ana had the attitude and skills I was looking for in an instructor. Not only is she friendly and fun to talk with, she's also a natural language guide—good at listening, asking questions, and offering suggestions. This is an extremely articulate, knowledgable, intelligent professor who has helped me rapidly become more comfortable speaking Portuguese. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for an enjoyable learning experience with a language expert!

Ana is so friendly, you wouldn't notice how fast this one-hour lesson passed because we've spoken a lot about culture, language, daily life, etc. It's also interesting to know about the linguistic aspect of Portuguese language and culture. Looking forward to our next lesson.
