About Me

I am 35 years old and reside in the South of Brazil, specifically on the picturesque island of Florianópolis, where I have made my home for the past 16 years. I moved here to study English and Literature at Uni and instantly fell in love with this place. That's why I've never wanted to leave! I started teaching Portuguese for foreigners while I was still in college, in 2009. Back then, my students were mostly in college too, and came from different parts of the planet. I later also started teaching English to Brazilians, and then back to Portuguese at college level. More recently I've started teaching online, mainly to businesses, but my extensive experience allows me to teach all proficiency levels, and students with different purposes and motivation. I absolutely love what I do, and there's nothing more fulfilling to me than teaching my cherished native language. Join me and let's embark on this learning journey together!

Education

I have a Bachelor's degree in English Language and Literature from the Federal University of Santa Catarina. I am currently pursuing a second degree in Business Secretariat.

Experience / Qualifications

With over 8 years of experience, I've had the pleasure of teaching Portuguese and English as foreign languages to students aged 13 and above.

Reviews (1)

I booked a package of 10 lessons to learn Portuguese with Laísa and I am super happy that I chose her as a teacher. She is really amazing and I learned so much in the hours. We talked always a lot, we focused on grammar but also daily stuff and I had a lot of homework (my wish! ;)) to strengthen my learnings. I can't wait to go to Brazil now to test my Portuguese and then booking another 10 lessons! :)
