About Me
Hello, my name is Maria Catarina. I have a degree in Translation – Portuguese/English and I am passionate about languages and teaching. I have 8 years of experience as a teacher, during which I worked in a language school and gave private lessons to students of all levels and ages. I studied French in Brazil for 3 years and then moved to France, where I lived, worked and studied for 2 years. I also spent some time in Bournemouth, England. In addition to French, I also speak Spanish and I love art, literature, travel and discovering new cultures. :)
About My Lessons
Lessons are prepared according to each student's goals. I like to address topics and use materials that are directly related to the student's reality and interests. This makes learning more effective and authentic.

I highly recommend Maria as a Portuguese tutor! She is incredibly easy to talk to and super engaging. When I mentioned that I prefer a conversation-based approach, she completely adapted her teaching style to fit my needs, and we easily spend our entire hour-long sessions just chatting. Honestly, the absolute best part of working with her was our blend of online and in-person sessions—it was so refreshing not to have everything be entirely screen-based. I also love how she handles mistakes; she never interrupts my flow to over-correct me while I'm speaking, but always follows up with helpful feedback afterwards. If you want a tutor who makes learning feel natural and fun, definitely book with Maria.
