About Me
italki teacher since Mar 27, 2018Interest topicMusicAnimation & ComicsFoodPets & AnimalsFilms & TV Series
Hello, my name is Patricia, and I am from São Paulo, Brazil. Portuguese is my native language, and I am proficient in English. My primary goal is to teach English to Brazilians and Portuguese to anyone else. Having spent 7 years in New Zealand, upon my return, I embarked on a journey of teaching both English and Portuguese. With nearly a decade of teaching experience, I have gained insights into the main challenges faced by learners of these two languages.Me as a Teacher
As an adult English learner, I empathize with the challenges students encounter while mastering a second language. This understanding shapes my distinctive teaching approach, blending personal experiences with communication language teaching techniques. Whether you're an adult seeking to enhance English or Portuguese skills for work or travel, or a parent aspiring to elevate your children's language proficiency, I'm dedicated to assisting you. Through dynamic lessons, interactive activities, and tailored feedback, I am committed to guiding my students towards the attainment of their language goals.My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, I employ a blend of the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach and insights gained from my own language-learning journey. The materials I bring to class incorporate authentic language, tailored to each student's specific needs. Within a few sessions, I work towards crafting a personalized learning strategy, aiming to equip every student with the skills necessary to become an independent learner.My teaching material

Patricia is an excellent, excellent Portuguese teacher for both kids and adults.
My child has been learning Portuguese with Patricia using the language immersion method. We have been using this method in other language classes on Italki since my child was 3 years old. Not many teachers understand this method or are comfortable using this method. Thankfully, Patricia understood and felt confident teaching her language in this manner.
She uses different teaching methods that make her classes enjoyable, so much, that my child looks forward to each lesson.
As for her personality, she is very friendly, very flexible and truly wants her students to properly learn her native language.
As a result, we are very happy to continue having her share her gift and love of teaching her native language with us.
