InterestsHistoryArtScience
Hey, how’s it going? My name is Carla, and I’m a native Brazilian Portuguese tutor here on italki, in addition to being a lawyer in Brazil! I was also a writing tutor and a law tutor during college, so teaching and working with the Portuguese language are not new to me. With experience living abroad, I speak English, understand a little Spanish, and am currently focused on French, as I live in France. I was also a beginner in German, and I understand the process of learning a new language, which is why I can help you best. Besides languages, I love music, cooking, cultures, politics, history, economics, books, and podcasts—I enjoy learning a little bit about everything!

Carla is a wonderful teacher! It is always easy to talk to her, even as I stumble through my ideas or struggle to find the right word. She's great at asking questions and the conversation with her always feels very natural, like having a chat with a friend. I never feel awkward or uncomfortable during my lessons with Carla. I highly recommend her!

Carla is amazing, she's super energetic and funny, we could have been talking for hours, knows a lot about the Portuguese language, and cared to correct my mistakes in a non-invasive way. I will definitely be taking more lessons with her.

Carla é muito paciente comigo enquanto tento formar meus pensamentos em portugues e agradeço as correções que ela me dá. É muito facil e natural falar com ela. Eu a recomendo muito como professora!

Carla is an excellent conversation tutor! She can always figure out what the heck you are trying to say, even when you've long since forgotten what the jumbled mess of Portuguese coming out of your mouth was even supposed to be communicating. She provides lots of feedback on errors and words you don't know, but the conversation does not stop and you don't feel bad for making a mistake. I would highly recommend her as a conversation tutor! Run, don't walk, to book a lesson with her!

Carla was super personable and friendly! She met me where I am in my Portuguese journey. During the lesson, Carla leveraged what I do know to help me improve my speaking. At the end of the lesson she gave me feedback that I found really helpful.
