Introduction
I have been an ESL and Portuguese teacher for more than 20 years. I am from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I have been living in the USA for 20 years. I've published two books on Amazon for foreigners who want to learn Brazilian Portuguese called "Tudo bem? Vamos aprender Português". The ability to make the student understand and speak a foreign language is the main focus when working as a language instructor. Conversation, grammar, reading and writing are part of a whole process to make a student feel confident and able to be fluent in a second language. Articles, videos and support material are some of the extra tools used in my class. It is great to see the students' development and how fast they can learn a foreign language when using a dynamic methodology. I have had several students of all ages, and what makes my profession so special is the ability to make them speak and write well. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you learn Brazilian Portuguese as a second language.

I’m Brazilian and we hired Natalia to teach Portuguese to my husband. He’s enjoying the classes and it’s impressive how he’s already speaking some after a few classes only. Highly recommend Natalia for anyone looking to take lessons.

Natalia is an amazing tutor! She's always positive and energetic. I really appreciate her professionalism and her patience. Learning Portuguese isn't easy but Natalia's lessons are fun and easy to follow. She's definitely someone who I would highly recommend. 10 out of 10!

I started Portuguese lessons with Natalia three weeks ago and it has been a great experience. She is very responsive and always on time. I tried many different instructors but landed back with her for multiple reasons. She’s been great at molding the classes to my needs and overall is a very pleasant person to work with. Now that we’ve had more lessons we find ourselves laughing at various things and the time seems to fly by. She wrote the book, “Tudo Bem? Vamos Aprender Portuguese.” I definitively recommend buying it but if not then she will send you the lessons. With other instructors we had issues with the technology but using FaceTime with Natalia has worked great. Also, my schedule varies so it works well with her flexible schedule. However, she does offer set days and times if that is your thing. Most importantly she has a genuine passion for making sure that I succeed. Along with the lessons, there are assignments to do on your own and she will send extra material as well. She’s also helped me find different ways to access programs in Portuguese on Netflix and Globo. Also, you’ll see that there are many instructors that are more expensive and less expensive. I tried several of them and feel that Natalia is by far the best value. She’s already increased my confidence. At the same time it’s going to be a long but enjoyable ride to get where I need to be.
