Camila FLUENT 2025

I've been learning Portuguese with Camila for over a year now and I must say that she is one of the best teachers I've ever had. She's always prepared, full of positive energy and ideas to make learning process pleasure and fun. I'm also very pleased with the materials that I can always refer to either during or between our lessons which help me to structurize my knowledge better. I also believe that the idea of Movie Club is a mastepiece helping her students to communicate better, learning how to express themselves and break the language barrier. Camila, obrigada pra todas as liçoes nós tivemos até agora e pela pacientia que Você tem pra mim.

Um dia, alguém falou para mim que utilizo excessivamente o verbo ''amar'' quando falo em Português, que não se utiliza essa palavra com a mesma frequência que em Inglês. Inconscientemente eu sabia disso, porém tive que continuar fazendo-o. Porque há tantas coisas inimagináveis que o Português trouxe a minha vida. Porque tudo o que eu sinto é mais profundo quando sinto em Português. Como agora, por exemplo, dizer que AMEI a nossa aula é simplesmente ser justa com o meu sentir. Assunto fascinante, daqueles que me deixam pensando por um tempão. Você sempre me faz sentir tão à vontade para falar de tudo, perguntar, aprender e rir. Obrigada do fundo do meu coração!

I've had 5 classes with Camila and notice that my Portuguese is improving already. Camila is a welcoming teacher, the lessons are well structured and very enjoyable. I look forward to continuing the classes!

Seeing Camila, in itself, is a joy. She has been great company for the past 3 years. Today, we discussed a few key topics: We talked about how Covid-19 in now impacted people all across Brazil and how everyone knows someone with Covid. The only question is how close your contact was and if you are the next person to get it. I also shared a local San Diego news story about a famous religious figure in my community who has now become infamous, as he was pleaded guilty to charges of embezzling funds that were supposed to be for the community, but instead pocketed in an elaborate tax evasion scheme. The third topic was an on-going discussion about the ethical questions posed by the film, "Bacarau." It is a fascinating film that has kept all of us thinking ALOT! Camila, you did a great service to anyone interested in Brazil by showcasing this film. I love everything about you and your teaching style as well. And I know many of your students feel exactly the same way.

Simply the best. classes are worth every penny. the most comprehensive Portuguese teacher on iTalki!

It's always great to meet up with my best Brazilian friend and my favorite Portuguese teacher, Camila! Thanks so much for the conversation today!
