I'm a native Brazilian Portuguese teacher from Minas Gerais (the real heart of Brazil) with a no-filter, authentic approach. No tourist clichés: I teach the raw, chaotic, everyday Portuguese you actually hear in Brazil – full of gírias, funk, forró, mineirês, and the cultural truths that really matter. In each 1h15min session, we dive deep into real-life practice: you speak about your daily life (work, travel, chats with Brazilians), and I correct pronunciation and expressions on the spot, immersing you in authentic Brazilian Portuguese.
Huge bonus: We do a virtual tour through my actual house – cooking pão de queijo together, chatting in my kitchen, showing the real mess and routine of Brazilian daily life. This turns the lesson into genuine immersion – you feel like you're really here, living it with me.
Plus, during our ongoing lessons, I can support you with real-life Brazil needs: researching visa options, choosing a bank, communicating with Airbnb hosts, understanding basic laws, real estate, relationships with Brazilians, everyday practical situations, and cultural comparisons between Brazil and your country. This isn't passive conversation – it's active, real-world language practice connected directly to your life.
A bit about me: I'm passionate about knowledge across fields – consciousness, biology, anthropology, technology – and I bring this open perspective into language teaching. I value flexibility, curiosity, and real communication over rigid rules. I often use Generative AI to explore language and meaning, and I run a channel discussing these topics critically.
Language is a living part of life, not just rules. Learning Portuguese becomes meaningful when it helps you connect deeply with Brazilians and the world.
I'm here to change your relationship with Portuguese and Brazil for good – and yes, I'll learn from you too. This isn’t just a course. It’s a partnership. And it works!
