Introduction
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 used in my classes. 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. 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 is a great professor. Her lessons are given following a good and inexpensive book as she patiently instructs the student in proper grammar and pronunciation of the material. I have been learning Portuguese with Cleide for about 2 months now and feel like I have learned so much. Her classes are very pressure-free and laid back which I appreciate. Highly recommend!

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!

Cleide has been so awesome at helping me with pronunciation. She will pull you into Portuguese quickly, and adapt to your level as she continues to build your Portuguese muscles. She is like a personal trainer and very structured. I am grateful to be working with her.

Cleide has been wonderful, supportive, patient, kind, direct, organized, considerate, and motivational. All these things combined with being a native speaker, a trained educator and a well-practiced curriculum has made her an ideal person from whom to learn Portuguese. She will always have a special place in my mind, and in my heart! Obrigado, minha amiga!

I have been learning Portuguese with Cleide for over a year, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Her teaching style is both engaging and effective, making every lesson a perfect blend of challenge and encouragement. She has a deep understanding of the language, not just in terms of grammar and vocabulary but also the cultural nuances that bring Portuguese to life. She creates a supportive and motivating environment, always finding creative ways to reinforce concepts and keep me progressing. Thanks to her guidance, my confidence in speaking, listening, and understanding Portuguese has grown immensely. If you’re looking for a dedicated and skilled Portuguese teacher who genuinely cares about their students’ success, look no further than Cleide!
