I'm passionate about teaching Portuguese! As a patient and friendly teacher, I'm excited to assist you on your journey to fluency. Whether you want to practice conversation, improve pronunciation, polish grammar, or expand your vocabulary, I've got you covered.
Originally from Alagoas, a state known for its stunning beaches, I now reside in Rio Grande do Sul, Southern Brazil. Besides Portuguese, we also speak Hunsrik (a German dialect), Talian (an Italian dialect), and Kaingang.
Beyond teaching, I like studying languages, reading, watching movies, and listening to music. Teaching is a vital part of my life. In addition to teaching Portuguese, I participate in voluntary educational services.

Me as a Teacher
Since childhood, I've been passionate about studying languages. That's why I not only dedicated myself to learning them but also pursued qualifications to teach. With over 7 years of experience as both an online and in-person teacher, I've had the joy of working with people of all ages and levels. Teaching, for me, is more than just a job; it's a genuine passion that brings me immense joy. 😊
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are both relaxed and purposeful, designed to ensure your progress after each class. We'll explore various resources, including articles, pictures, songs, videos, and more. Whether you're looking to improve your grammar, pronunciation, writing, or conversational Portuguese, I'm here to assist you.
Our main focus will be on conversation since practice is key to fluency. In each class, we can choose one or more topics—such as technology, travel, hobbies, or culture—and engage in meaningful conversations to enhance your speaking skills. Grammar is also an important aspect we'll cover. I'm highly flexible, tailoring lessons to meet your specific 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!

Vinícius is the perfect mix of challenging and encouraging! I appreciate how he keeps up engaging conversations that (even with my limited vocabulary) the time flies by. I look forward to our weekly lessons.

Another opportunity to learn new Portuguese vocabulary, to practice conversation and reading pronunciation with Vini, and to have our questions answered.
[For example: How do you say "watch party" in Portuguese?]
[Answer: "Watch party"]
Who knew? ;-)
