About Me
Hey guys! My name is Ana, I'm a Portuguese and English teacher. I love learning new languages and helping others. I'm very talkative and enjoy talking about many different subjects. I'm really looking forward to helping you!
Oi, pessoal! Meu nome é Ana, sou professora de Português e Inglês. Eu amo aprender novas línguas e ajudar os outros. Eu gosto muito de conversar sobre vários assuntos. Estou muito ansiosa em poder te ajudar!
I've been teaching for over 6 years. I started teaching professionally when I was living in Rio de Janeiro. I spent a year teaching children and teenagers and since then I have been teaching kids, adults, and elders online. I find teaching very fulfilling and seeing the students progress makes me happy and encourages me to continue learning myself.
Eu ensino a mais de 6 anos. Eu comecei ensinando profissionalmente quando eu estava morando no Rio de Janeiro. Eu passei um ano ensinando crianças e adolescentes e desde então eu tenho ensinando adultos e idosos online. Eu acho ensinar muito gratificante e ver o professor dos meus alunos me deixa feliz e me encoraja a eu mesma continuar aprendendo.
My classes are very dynamic and interactive. They're focused on conversation, so after teaching you something, we are gonna spend 70% of the time practicing it. That is going to make you gain experience and confidence. Don't worry about committing mistakes, the secret to learning a language is to keep always trying. After our class, I'm gonna send you the homework.
So, book a class with me, and let's start learning!
As aulas são dinâmicas e interativas. Focadas em conversação. Depois da aula eu enviarei uma lição pra você praticar.
Então, agende uma aula comigo e vamos começar a aprender!

Ana is, quite literally, the best teacher I've ever had the privilege of learning from. All of her lessons are made specifically for you and where your current knowledge level is. Ana takes the time to find out how you best learn, and she customizes the lessons to best suit you. She takes the time to explain why you would use certain words, instead of just telling you the correct phrase to use and then moving forward. Ana has worked with me after the classes just to make sure I understand the things I struggling with. She teaches Brazilian gestures, grammatical technicalities, as well as slang some Portuguese speakers would use. She's great with beginners - coming from a beginner - and she makes sure all lessons are inclusive, so you don't ever just feel left behind and confused on subjects you may have a hard time with. If I could, I'd give her 10 stars. But, 5 will have to do for now. Ana's an amazing teacher for sure, and I most definitely recommend taking up classes with her.

Well, it's now over 6 months since I started with Ana (how time flies when you're having fun) and, give and take the occasional days, I have had lessons with her every week day!
I just wanted to add to my previous review in as much as, although I have not (of course) tried other Brazilian Portuguese teachers here on this site, I still feel that I have chosen one of the best!!
The reason I'm saying this is that she is ALWAYS incredibly patient and gears up her lessons and homeworks (many of them!!) to suit the student (that's me!). She is very (repeat, VERY) thorough with correcting my pronunciation errors and ensuring that I'm not speaking incorrectly (too often, at least!!). She also uses the "chat" option during the lesson to share information and explain spelling, and even is kind enough to add words to my personal vocabulary to ensure that I don't forget them.
Personally I love the "unknown" aspect of each lesson as (I'm sure that) she controls topics as she sees necessary although, at no time, have I felt "pressured" with any aspect of the language.
I could go on a lot more (maybe I have written too much already - if I have, apologies!) but I VERY SINCERELY feel that, if you are serious about learning Brazilian Portuguese (which, even as a fluent Spanish speaker I admit is NOT an easy language to learn - sorry Ana!!), you will NOT regret signing up for a few lessons with her. Of course, if you're not sure, just book a "trial" lesson as I know you will not be disappointed!
Finally, as I said before, I am in NO WAY related to her nor am I getting paid for this review - it's totally genuine and sincere and, just as a final thought for the total beginners, she also speaks a fluent (American) English which is also a great help at times.
Give her a try - you have NOTHING to lose!!!

I HONESTLY and very SINCERELY cannot recommend Ana highly enough!!!
Due to unexpected circumstances with a previous (but also brilliant) teacher who had to stop teaching, I had to seek another teacher. After checking out many different videos (and different prices too!) I finally selected Ana and can honestly say that I really feel that I'm progressing even faster with her. She's incredibly patient, super friendly, always correcting my (never ending!!) mistakes and always providing me with very useful daily homework too (depending on how the previous lesson had been).
She also speaks an enviable (I would say 95% perfect at least) English which also assists me when I get totally lost trying to explain something to her (in Portuguese).
I'm not trying to suggest that one doesn't check out other teachers on this site BUT, in my very sincere opinion, I now feel that I'm with the best teacher that I could ever wish for (and at a very reasonable price too!!).
Finally, I promise that I'm NOT related to her nor is she paying me any commission for this review (!!!!). It's truly a very honest one and I would STRONGLY recommend that, if you are serious about learning Brazilian Portuguese, then at least risk a "trial lesson" as I'm sure that you'll look no further!!
Thank you Ana for everything so far - um abraço forte de Londres!!
