About Me

italki teacher since May 4, 2021

My name is Catarina, I'm from Porto, Portugal and I am a bilingual portuguese tutor. I have lived in 5 different countries - Portugal, Spain, Austria, UAE and now I live in France. After working for 7 years as a Flight Attendant, flying to 60+ countries and working with 140+ nationalities, I have learned to adapt to pretty much any culture, person or situation.

Me as a Teacher

I have always had a big interest in languages (also accents :D). Having moved to different countries makes me understand your struggle as I also had to go through the process of learning a new language myself - btw, I'm learning French at the moment. So I know that the first step is the hardest! However, you can take that first step with me and I will help you get to the level you want :)

My lessons & teaching style

I am pretty flexible here: if you want to have 100% conversational classes or if you want to go deep into portuguese grammar, I can adapt. I usually use a wide range of teaching methods - we can do exercises, but we can also read articles or listen to songs. We can even read portuguese poetry, if that's something you like :)

Catarina is an amazing teacher. She always speaks in a very clear and understanding way, however at the same time she manages to challenge you. There is a great balance of structure whilst maintaining freedom to speak about topics and flow through conversation. I always end the class with a full page of new notes about the Portuguese language!

Catarina ist eine sehr aufmerksame und warmherzige Lehrerin. Von der ersten Minuten an war die Lernatmosphäre sehr angenehm. Ich habe die Probestunde mit Catarina sehr genossen!

Catarina is such a lovely teacher to practise conversation skills with! She helps you feel comfortable to speak freely, but also corrects your mistakes so you don't create bad habits. I have an intermediate level of Portuguese and she is the best teacher I have had to practise speaking with. Muito obrigada Catarina! <3
