Graduado em português com mais de 4 anos de experiência! Olá! I’m Thiago, your dedicated Brazilian Portuguese conversation coach. With a bachelor's degree in Portuguese, I specialize in helping learners achieve natural fluency—whether through mastering verb conjugations, refining pronunciation, or engaging in dynamic discussions about travel, finance, or Brazilian culture. Having explored Brazil’s diverse regions, I bring firsthand insights into its rich linguistic nuances, regional slang, and vibrant traditions. My approach transforms lessons into engaging, confidence-building experiences where Portuguese becomes second nature. Let’s embark on this language journey together—where every conversation brings you closer to fluency. Ready to start? Are you ready to dive into the wonderful world of Portuguese? I’ve studied all sorts of ways to teach this beautiful language to people from different cultures—yes, even the ones who think "Obrigado" is a type of pasta. I’ll help you improve your conversational skills and guide you in pronouncing Portuguese words so naturally that even native speakers might ask if you’re secretly from Rio. I’m fully prepared to teach students of all levels, from advanced speakers to those who’ve mastered saying “Olá” but panic after that. If you’re looking for a teacher who’s patient, flexible, knowledgeable, and friendly (and who won’t judge you for accidentally calling "feijoada" a salad), I’m your person If you are already comfortable speaking Portuguese, we can discuss your favorite topics or important...

Já tive várias aulas com o Thiago e sempre fico impressionada com a forma como ele combina conversa natural, gramática e vocabulário em cada aula. Ele se lembra do que trabalhamos em aulas anteriores e me ajuda a continuar evoluindo. Também é muito paciente quando repito os mesmos erros ou me enrolo toda para falar, o que eu realmente valorizo. As anotações que ele compartilha depois de cada aula são muito úteis — sempre copio tudo no meu caderno de português! A orientação dele tem me ajudado bastante, e continuo recomendando o Thiago como professor. I've had quite a few classes with Thiago, and I’m always impressed by how well he combines natural conversation, grammar, and vocabulary in each lesson. He remembers what we worked on in earlier classes and helps me build on it. He’s also very patient when I repeat the same mistakes or get my words all mixed up, which I really appreciate. The notes he shares after each class are very helpful—I always copy them into my Portuguese notebook!

Thiago é um dos melhores professores que já tive no Italki. Há alguns meses, comecei a ter aulas regulares com ele, e graças ao seu método incrível, ele me aproximou muito da língua portuguesa. Eu era um completo iniciante e, em poucos meses, já consigo conversar sobre muitos assuntos. O jeito dele de ensinar é especial. Com ele, não há medo de falar, porque ele tem uma maneira muito empática de conduzir as aulas. Hoje em dia, sinto que estou conversando com um amigo. As aulas nem parecem aulas, e percebo como estou evoluindo constantemente. Com certeza continuarei estudando com ele e já estou ansioso por cada nova aula! Muito obrigado, Thiago.

Another great class with Thiago today! It's always a great way to start off the morning practicing Portuguese conversation in a way that is relaxed and serious at the same time. I appreciate Thiago's professionalism, attention to detail, and relaxed energy that makes for the perfect combination to have an excellent classroom experience! I'll be looking forward to the next class later this week!
