Portuguese with Vanessa

Olá! Eu sou Vanessa, muito prazer! Let’s learn Portuguese? I’m a Brazilian-born teacher with extensive experience teaching all ages and all levels of Portuguese. I love food, music, play the guitar and make meaningful connections with people! I hold a bachelor’s in Portuguese and English Languages and Literatures from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (yes, I’m a gaúcha, tchê!) and a master’s in Bilingual ESL from UMass Amherst. I’m specialized in Portuguese as a Heritage Language and bilingual education. My classes are customized based on my students’ previous experiences, needs, goals and learning styles. What happens when you choose me as your Portuguese teacher? First, we’ll schedule an interview and then a free intro-class. Then, based on your preferences, we’ll negotiate a plan that suits your needs and availability. After that, you’ll have a very enthusiastic teacher (that might look more like a friend) who’ll help you in every step of this fun journey that is learning a foreign language.
