Informazioni su di me
Insegnante di italki dal 19 Nov 2019Argomento di interesseViaggiSportAnimaliCibo
Hi! I’m Maria, a language teacher with over 15 years of experience. I’m originally from Brazil and I’ve been living in Italy since 2017.
I learned both English and Italian as second languages, so I truly understand how it feels to freeze, to overthink every word, or to feel like you’re not yourself when speaking. That’s why today I help adults speak more naturally and confidently, using a calm and practical approach. No pressure, no perfectionism. Just real communication, personalised strategies, and routines that actually work (even if you have a busy schedule).
Whether you’re learning for work, travel, or personal growth, I’m here to support you with empathy, structure, and clarity.
I’m calm, supportive and highly organised. My lessons are relaxed but structured, because I believe you learn best when you feel both safe and guided.
I won’t overload you with grammar rules or generic exercises. Instead, I’ll listen to what’s blocking you, and I’ll help you build a study routine that feels clear, useful and doable, even with a busy life.
I teach with empathy, because I know the fear of not being able to express yourself. But I also teach with strategy, because progress doesn’t come from motivation, it comes from consistency.
My lessons are always personalised and focused on real-life communication. That means we’ll:
◦ speak from day one, even if you feel shy
◦ work on vocabulary and grammar in context (no random lists!)
◦ use voice messages, journaling or role-plays dep...Certificati

English TeacherAs an independent teacher, I’ve worked with adult learners from different backgrounds — professionals, expats and language lovers — helping them overcome fear, unlock their spoken English and build lasting routines.
I create and deliver 1:1 lessons, develop personalised study plans, and provide continuous support between sessions. Over the years, I’ve also designed my own teaching method, combining mindset coaching, structured learning, and real-life English practice.

I’ve had several lessons with Maria, and she’s fantastic! I always look forward to our class. She makes the lessons easy to understand, fun, and goes at a pace that really works for me. She also does a great job of checking in frequently and making sure the lessons are up to my expectations/comfortability.

Maria e’ davvero una ragazza ed una insegnante incredibilmente attenta, premurosa e preparata.
E’ molto paziente e molto disponibile. La mia esperienza personale con Maria e’ super positiva. Lei ha un modo di comunicare tranquillo e sereno che ti mette subito nella condizione ottimali per imparare. Una ragazza che oltre ad un garbo e gentilezza che non vanno date per scontanti oggi come oggi, ha un suo metodo personale d’insegnamento davvero comprensibile a noi principiante.
Sono molto felice di averla conosciuta e i miei obiettivi con lei con l’inglese ora sono certa che posso raggiungerli.
Grazie Maria. Sei la migliore 🤍

Maria is a wonderful and patient teacher! I really appreciate the variety of exercises we do - they are fun, challenging, and fitting of my level. And because she teaches in Portuguese and initiates practice chats throughout, I find myself naturally trying to come up with phrases to speak with her despite my fear of getting it wrong! This has helped a lot in honing my speaking skills, which I find to be the most challenging part of language learning.

Tive uma ótima experiência com essa professora de brasileiro no Italki. Ela sempre foi muito clara e precisa nas explicações, tornando as aulas muito interessantes. Além disso, ela sempre foi pontual e muito disponível. Recomendo muito as aulas dela para qualquer pessoa que queira aprender brasileiro com uma professora competente e profissional.
