About
I have been Portuguese teacher for more than 30 years. I am from Bahia(Salvador), a place rich in history, culture, beaches, cuisine, music, and carnival. I graduated in Languages (Portuguese and English Literature) at Catholic University of Salvador, and live in the USA for 20 years implementing, developing, and teaching the Portuguese language. I am qualified based on my experiences and skills that contributed to the rapid growth and success of several students, Pre-K to 12th schools, School of Languages, Military bases, government civilians, FBI, Special Forces, National Guard, and organizations I have worked for. Conversation, grammar, reading and writing are part of the whole process to make a student feel confident and able to be fluent in a second language. Videos, articles, songs, and support material are some of the extra tools I use in my classes. I was previously Florida Teacher PreK to 12th certified (expired and I didn't renew it because retired from schools). I have had several students of all ages, and what makes the teaching so special is to see my students speak, write and read in Portuguese. In the process of my new Portuguese book, the love, commitment and experience teaching the Portuguese language is my motto. Welcome to my course and I look forward to hearing from you and helping you learn the Portuguese.

Cleide has been a fantastic teacher so far. She has detailed plans and ideas about how to help a student progress from day 1. I intend to learn from her for a long time.

I had personalized lessons with Cleide and really progressed much more than I had expected. Beyond making the lessons fun, I greatly appreciated how flexible she was in her approach to our lesson plan. She not only ensured we got through the required content, but on multiple occasions helped me prep for a business meeting. This was back in 2013/2014 and I still remember the classes fondly and leverage my Portuguese on a frequent basis for work. Thanks, Cleide!

I love working with Professora Cleide. She has helped me improve my Portuguese tremendously over the past 9 months. I would not understand half as much if I was not working with her. Language apps are helpful but they do not truly help you understand the language. In order to speak, you need the help of a professional teacher. I highly recommend Cleide!

We absolutely love Ms. Cleide! I was nervous about my 4- and 6-year-old taking Portuguese classes online, but she makes it work beautifully. She keeps both of them engaged the entire time with fun, interactive lessons, and they genuinely look forward to every class. I’m so grateful for how patient, creative, and encouraging she is. Highly recommend!
