About Me
italki teacher since Feb 10, 2025InterestsFilms & TV SeriesReadingTravelFoodMusic
I'm a passionate language learner and traveler from Salvador, Brazil.
Teaching and learning are my biggest passions in life. Others are literature, art, watercolor painting traveling, yoga, tarot and music.
I taught myself all of the foreign languages I know and I can help you do the same. My goal as a teacher is to provide and support you with resources so help you achieve your goal with kindness and patience.
I have lived and worked as a teacher in different cities across North and South America teaching all ages and therefore I am a mix of the culture of all of the places I have been. 🎒👣Me as a Teacher
🔺I encourage students to communicate with ease using language in a real-life context from the first lesson.
🔺I support students by making them feel in a safe space where they can practice the target language without the fear of being judged.
🔺I provide authentic material that connects with the student's interest and that will open their knowledge about the language, cultures and general topics so that they will be able to hold a conversation with anyone.
🔺I am very kind, patient and laidback and it reflects on my teaching style.
🔺We will set goals for every lesson and I'll make sure you are prepared to achieve them.My lessons & teaching style
I use a communicative approach in my lessons. I bring material that will provide interesting and authentic content to the student and make them speak. It includes videos, dialogues, articles, literature books, etc.
I will focus on basic language structures at first and from there I will lead the student to communicate.
I aim to use the target language at least 95% of the lesson time.
Homework is usually related to action exercises such as preparing a short presentation, creating a vision board or anything that will help them speak and use what has been taught. But when it's needed I will also focus on structure (grammar).My teaching material

I thoroughly enjoyed my lesson with Felipe. I have been learning Portuguese for a long time, and it was a joy to finally study with some clear structure. I appreciate the time my teacher took to break down the grammar points in a way that I could understand. It’s also really important to me that I improve my accent and I’m confident that Felipe will be able to help me improve my speaking skills over the next few months. I also appreciate that Felipe provided key cultural context as why Brazilians speak in the way they do. I believe this will help me create deeper connections with my friends and their family members who don’t speak English. I can’t wait for my next lesson. Muito obrigada professor!
