Me as a Teacher
🖌️ My students tell me I make learning ✔️fun and ✔️effortless, that I create ✔️a safe space to make mistakes and for them ✔️to be themselves and express any idea, any concept, any emotion - freely.
🔺I correct EVERYTHING (but don't worry, I do it in a very kind way ☺️) - because I care. It's important that you have the correct pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary to travel and talk to your family and friends (because they won't correct you) - so it's up to me garantee you're speaking well and clear.
🧘♀️ I'm very present, probably related to my meditation practice. I also offer a 3 minutes guided meditation in the beginning of each session as it helps with concentration (optional).
My lessons & teaching style
1️⃣ You book a lesson and I will send you a FORM, so I can understand where you're at in your learning.
2️⃣ The form + our first conversation will help me understand your GOALS (short, medium and long term goal)
- Is it speaking what you'd like to improve?
- Is it listening and understanding better?
- Is it reading or writing?
3️⃣ I will create a plan and show you the strategies you can use to REACH those goals.
4️⃣ I use lots of tools to track your progress.
➕ I use Google slides and my own personalized and creative material. (read other students reviews)
📋I teach CELPE BRAS and Diplomats taking the FSI exam.
👔💼Also teach Business and Legal Portuguese.

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.

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.

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!

Wonderful conversational lesson with Camila! She is really great at explaining the correct use of words and correcting you as you go in a way that you can capture and apply.

It was the best class I took at italki! She had prepared a detailed form in advance asking what goals I have for studying Portuguese. I'm impressed by how much attention was paid to ensuring student satisfaction with the class!! I was grateful that the class materials were prepared systematically. Even though it was a trial class, she taught me for over 50 minutes like the original class. Time passed really quickly. I usually feel tired after a class, but after her class, I felt energized! I plan to continue studying Portuguese and I will be doing it with her.
