I'll show and help you to be fluent in Portuguese and in Brazilian culture. PhD student, master's, and with a degree in Linguistics, I've been teaching Portuguese to foreigners for 8 years to 17+ nationalities. Learn with me and fall in love with Brazil! I bring you: - a topic to talk about - curiosities about Brazil - personalized material with grammar tips (I have my own study book) - different materials, such as games, songs, and videos

Me as a Teacher

My classes are different because, while we learn the grammar, we also explore Brazilian culture. I teach from beginner to advanced level. I even prepare you for the proficience exam Celpe-Bras.

My lessons & teaching style

I'll prepare the lesson for you! So it's nice to know how you like to learn. And what you need to learn, of course! We can listen to types of music you like, interesting short videos and analyze everyday language. You'll enjoy it! I really like to send homework for you to keep practicing, if you have time! If you don't, that's fine!

Jéssica is an excellent instructor, and I highly recommend her. She is engaged, energetic, accommodating, and takes a conversational approach to teaching. She provides great cultural examples and scenarios to reinforce fundamentals, like irregular verbs and tenses. She also explains common phrases clearly and the contexts in which they are used. I’ve had a few lessons so far, and I look forward to each one.
