Olá! Tudo bem? Prazer, meu nome é Paloma. I am a Portuguese teacher, translator, proofreader, language lover, and lifelong learner. I am originally from Recife, Brazil, and since 2020, I have discovered my passion for teaching the Portuguese language. Despite having an initial education in a different area, it was through learning languages and teaching my students that I developed my skills as a teacher. I have also pursued further university certificates in linguistics, Portuguese as a foreign language, teaching methodologies, and translation. I have always been passionate about languages. In addition to Portuguese, I speak English and Spanish, and I am currently studying other languages (this is one of my hobbies). My experience as a language learner has given me the essential tools to support my students on their journey to learning Portuguese. Whether you are starting from scratch or looking to advance your fluency, I am here to help you speak with confidence and joy. You decide how you want to learn — our classes can be in English or fully in Portuguese for total immersion! My goal is to create a supportive, engaging, and dynamic learning environment where you feel comfortable and motivated to achieve your best. Why learn with me? • Personalised lessons tailored to your goals and learning style • A balance between structure and flexibility, so you stay on track while enjoying the process • Engaging and interactive classes that incorporate real-life conversations, cultural insights, and fun exercises • A patient, encouraging approach to keep you motivated and confident In our trial lesson, I will assess your level, learning preferences, and areas of improvement so we can create the best strategies to help you progress as quickly as possible.

I cannot wait to meet you and be part of your language-learning journey! Schedule your first lesson, and let’s get started.
