Hi! My name is Laura, I'm from Brazil and I currently live in the state of São Paulo. As a teacher, I am passionate about studying the language learning process. However, in terms of my personal interests, I dedicate a significant amount of my time to researching and writing about world politics and Brazilian history (for fun). I enjoy attending concerts, traveling, and immersing myself in new experiences from various cultures, both from around the world and within Brazil. Exploring different cultures and customs fascinates me. Photography, cooking, and hiking are among my hobbies. Music holds deep meaning in my life, I have an old soul, but I'm constantly seeking out new songs to listen to.

Laura is an excellent teacher. Knowledgeable, completely trilingual in Portugues, English and Spanish and able to 'scaffold' the student's knowledge to allow conversations to flow while leaving notes for the student to study after the lesson; that is, the lesson itself is not all that one benefits from Laura's conversations. I have worked with many very good ITalki tutors. Laura is one of the very best. She is a pleasure to work with and advances the student's language knowledge. I highly recommended Laura to any level of language learner.

Laura is an exceptional Portuguese teacher. I've been taking classes with her for two years, and her patience, kindness, friendliness, and deep knowledge have made a tremendous impact on my learning journey. She consistently encouraged me and provided the support I needed to achieve my goals. Thanks to Laura, I now speak Brazilian Portuguese with confidence. She is the BEST !!!!!!

Laura is an amazing teacher! I had many teachers before her but I didn’t feel like my Portuguese was improving, but since having classes with Laura, I can see a huge difference! I don’t translate from Spanish into Portuguese anymore, I just speak in Portuguese without translating in my mind! I feel much more confident speaking now and it’s all thanks to Laura ☺️ she creates a really safe environment where I have lost my fear of making mistakes ☺️ obrigadaaa 🥰

Laura is an excellent italki teacher! Since I am a very beginner in learning Brazilian Portuguese, it helps that she speaks English fluently. While I would like to eventually be able to conduct our lessons in the near future entirely in BP, at this level it would be frustrating to try to communicate with someone who does not speak the same language as me. My progress is faster this way, as she is able to explain nuances of vocabulary/gramma/culture to me. Rather than formal written textbook Portuguese, Laura's focus is on informal, spoken Portuguese in order for me to understand the language as it is spoken.
