About Me

I am a Brazilian, from Santos (São Paulo), who is passionate about Portuguese language. Since a child, Portuguese was my favorite subject at school. I always did very well with grammar and corrected people's mistakes in my daily life.

My interest for languages expanded and currently I speak also English, German, Spanish and Dutch. This means that I can teach you Portuguese in any of these languages! :D

As a teacher, I aim to make my classes smooth, interesting and fun! I think it's very important to share with students something from my culture, such as musics, novelas (soap operas), festivities and food. I want to teach students with real life examples and vocabulary, instead of using cases that are only in the books. There is so much of Brazilian culture to be explored and this makes the language learning process much easier!

I am very flexible, so I can adapt my class to the needs of each student. If you want to do business with someone from Brazil, I am the right person to assist you! I am graduated in International Relations with focus in Business, so this gives me in depth knowledge in this field! If you are going for holidays in Brazil and you want to be able to dive more in the culture, I can also prepare classes for you!! In this way you can dance samba, while singing the lyrics!

I am very patient, so I can explain you something you didn't understand as many times as necessary. I have great communication skills, what is definetely helpful. Also, I am very enthusiastic, so I am going to do my best to keep you motivated and focused!!

Since I've learned several languages, I can share my tricks with you of how to become fluent in a new language! Finally, in Portuguese there are several words and expressions that really loose their meanings when translated. So by learning Portuguese, you really expand your horizons!

Experience / Qualifications

2018 - Present: I have been for more than 3 years teaching Portuguese via Apprentus. I had/ have several students, all with different profiles (ages, interests and Portuguese level). From people who want to learn the basics in order to travel to Brazil to fluent speakers who want to perfect their skills. So far, I have been giving classes in Portuguese, English and Dutch, as requested by the student. Currently, I am also teaching Dutch to a Portuguese child. There are no boundaries when teaching a language! I particularly think it helps a lot that I often can teach students in their motherlanguage.

2016: I taught voluntarily Portuguese to a Syrian refugee at a Daycare for less privileged children in São Paulo. The girl was 4 years old and lived in Brazil for 6 months, but couldn't speak Portuguese. The teaching process was focused on visuals, as she couldn't write or read. It was an extremely challenging and pleasurable experience. After a few months of classes, she could already interact with other children and express herself much better.

2015: I lived in India for 8 months, where I taught Portuguese to a group of colleagues at the company I worked (Financial Technologies). The company was expanding their business in Brazil, so by learning Portuguese the employees could get more familiar with the Brazilian market. This course was business oriented and also included advices for negotiating with Brazilians.

Reviews (5)

Giovanna teaches with enthusiasm, has very detailed and deep knowledge of the language and teaches with the utmost respect for the student's available time, level and learning speed. Its a very pleasant experience to build up your Portuguese vocabulary and language skill! Can highly recommend!
very good first lesson clear explanation, good examples and interactive Teaching materials fit and are nicely supplemented I just looked at my first comment from a school year ago and I must say that I am still as convinced as I was then. Giovanna is just good. Clear explanation, appropriate (multimedia) teaching material, adaptation of the teaching material to my personal and professional context. Sometimes strict, but always fair and reasonable, progressing but without exaggerating, an open ear for feedback and questions for further depth. In short, an upgrade to 5 stars is more than worth it. I'm already looking forward to the next "school year".

Financial literacy is an important skill for kids to learn at an early age. I know many adults who would have loved learning about it earlier. They will learn about saving money, spending money wisely, and managing their finances. First, they will learn and think about how and why saving money: - short-term and long-term goals they can save for (e.g. a toy, a trip, college education). - how to create a budget and track their spending. - Compound interest and the impact of starting to save early. How to spend money wisely: - difference between needs and wants. - how to compare prices and make informed purchasing decisions. - learn what is impulse buying and method to take the time to think before spending. How to managing money: - Keeping track of spending and creating a budget - Different types of bank accounts, type of money and currencies - learn what are credits, how they work and how it can impact their finances in the future.

Do you want to start speaking Portuguese? The second most beautiful language in the world
The best way to speak a language is not by learning boring grammar rules; the best way is to start having routine conversations, and gradually get comfortable. With experience in Brazil and Portugal, if you want to get into the Portuguese language, I can help you to start speaking the second most beautiful language in the world, a language very similar to Spanish. Apart from the grammar and vocabulary that I will provide you, we will have conversations, and why not, even listen to songs.
