I love teaching Portuguese. I am a patient and kind teacher looking forward to helping you advance toward fluency. If you need to practice conversation, improve pronunciation, grammar or increase your vocabulary, I can help you.
I was born in Alagoas, a state known for its beautiful beaches. I live in Rio Grande do Sul, a beautiful sta in the South of Brazil. Here, besides Portuguese, it is also spoken Hunsrik (a German dialect), Talian (an Italian dialect), and Kaingang. My hobbies include: studying languages, reading, watching movies, listening to music, etc. Teaching is an important part of my life. Besides my work as a language teacher, I participate in an educational voluntary service.

Me as a Teacher
Since my childhood, I have studied and loved languages. So I decided not only to learn languages but also to get the qualifications to teach them. I have more than 6 years of experience as an online and in-person teacher and have taught people of all ages and levels. For me, teaching is not only my job but something I love to do.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are laid back. But at the same time, I want to ensure that you will have advanced at the end of each class. In our classes, we'll use many resources, for example, articles, pictures, songs, videos, and others. If you need to improve grammar, pronunciation, writing, or conversational Portuguese, I can help you. Conversation will be our focus since practice is the key to becoming fluent in any language. In each class, we can choose a topic or more, such as technology, travel, hobbies, culture, etc. We will have interesting conversations based on the topic we choose to get you to talk and make progress. I am very flexible, so my lessons will be tailored according to your needs.

After 100+ lessons with Vinícius, I have enjoyed every class with him. He is patient and supportive when learning new grammar and pronunciation. Every lesson is fun, and I leave each lesson with new vocabulary to study. I recommend having a lesson with Vinícius!

Vinicius is easily the best teacher I've ever met on Italki. He made everything so easy to understand!! His methodology is flawless, he has a friendly personality, and he's an expert at what he does. I'm so excited to learn Portuguese with him! With his help, I'm sure I'll reach a conversational level in no time!
