About me

Hello! Nice to meet you. I am glad we can work together.

We are here to learn Brazilian Portuguese.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Zuleide, I am a Portuguese teacher and a travel lover. It is one of my favorite things!

I have been teaching since I was a teenager and I really enjoy doing it.

I know people say learning Portuguese may be difficult but trust me, it is not as hard as it seems!

I like teaching based on students’ goals and experiences.

We can talk about Brazilian culture and I teach you typical Brazilian expressions, including slang.

We will also read small texts and comics, sing songs, watch videos, and play games.

Believe me, learning Portuguese can be easy and fun!

I would like to show you something more about my methodology.

Flexibility - you can learn at your own place, wherever you are.

Structure and sequence - you always know what step to take next.

Variety - you can learn through different means and not get bored.

My feedback and support - you always have answers to your questions.

You will find in our classes content to practice your listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills.

I invite you to schedule a class with me now! Let's learn Portuguese as a Foreign Language.

We can improve your communication skills and verbal fluency. I have flexible hours and I work with children, teenagers, and adults.

I know our partnership will be wonderful!

Let's schedule our classes right now!

I'm sure you will learn a lot!

I immensely enjoy the classes with Zuleide. She is always well-prepared and smiling. Her background in literature, pedagogy, and didactics is very noticeable. She has the great ability to explain difficult content in a simple and enlightening way. If all teachers were like this, students would love to study.

I started taking lessons with Zuleide, whom I would like to recommend. What surprises me about her is, in addition to her preparation, the comforting smile she always has when she addresses you. In the first lesson, I had connection issues and unfortunately took a while to access the platform. I found understanding and solidarity in her, and we found an alternative. I am very happy to have found her. She is patient, listens to you, and when words are lacking, she finds a way to help you. I feel comfortable. Thank you very much, Zuleide.

I started learning Portuguese with Zuleide about a month ago. I have been really enjoying it. Zuleide cares about teaching you the correct pronunciation and grammar, as well as more colloquial phrases you can encounter in the language. The classes are always dynamic, there are different activities to do to practice writing, speaking, and listening
