Tutor with over 5 years of experience teaching Brazilian Portuguese Hi there! 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. I speak English (I lived in Canada) and French (I live in France!) and am improving my Spanish skills, which is why I totally understand the process of learning a new language and I can help you better. Also, I have students from all over the world. This experience has taught me that each student has their own way of learning languages. For this reason, it's important to adapt and offer exactly what they're looking for. Besides that, I'm currently a full-time tutor, which means I’m very flexible with my schedule. You can feel free to book a last-minute lesson with me. Regarding my teaching style, I prefer light, fun classes where you’ll feel comfortable expressing yourself freely. With me, you’ll understand that it’s okay to make mistakes because they are part of the learning process, and I’m here to help you correct them. I want you to become more confident in speaking Portuguese. Additionally, I love talking about Brazilian culture and history, and I also dedicate a lot of attention to grammar and pronunciation. My lessons are individualized, and I provide customized materials if needed. Book a trial lesson with me now and let's meet!

This teacher is phenomenal - crafting great lesson plans that address your very specific needs. She helped me pass my language test with flying colors. 10/10, recommend for any level language learner.

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 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!

I have been maintaining and slowly improving my portuguese with Carla on and off for probably 2 or 3 years now. We focus mostly on conversation and it works very well, Carla corrects me kindly and listens and is a great conversationalist.

This was my first lesson with Carla and I really enjoyed her teaching style. She corrected me with explanations and wrote down the corrections so I can refer to them for review. She was patient, present, and easy going.
