Hi! I'm Bia! I'm an actress living in Rio de Janeiro and I'll be your next Brazilian Portuguese conversational tutor!

Bia isn't just a language teacher, she's an actress. This makes her incredibly skilled at getting the meaning of something across with her tone, presence and body language - as well as her spectacular grasp on language. She's brilliant, steady, and will put you at ease with her humor and kindness. She makes learning easy, fun and engaging. 1 session with her is worth more than 3 with any other tutor I've used (and I've used a bunch). I would give her 6 stars if I could.

Bea is a wonderful teacher with an energetic and engaging style of tuition. She is particularly great at correcting pronunciation errors and focusing in on the details to make your Portuguese more natural and authentic. I highly recommend her!

Beatriz is, without a doubt, one of the best Portuguese teachers I’ve ever encountered. She brings an infectious energy to her lessons, making them both fun and engaging. Her patience and encouragement stand out, especially for adult learners like me, who find language learning a slow and challenging process. Beatriz has a remarkable talent for making the language stick. She adapts her teaching style effortlessly, using notes when needed and engaging in freestyle conversation when it's more effective. With Beatriz, it feels like you’re learning with a friend, which makes the entire journey not only productive but also genuinely enjoyable.

As they say, "The best teachers make learning so enjoyable, you hardly realize how much you're growing." I continue to grow with Beatriz, and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone eager to learn a new language.

I absolutely love taking classes with Beatriz. She’s a fun, energetic teacher who pushes me to challenge myself but at the same time is always there to help. She uses a variety of techniques: engaging me in conversation about far-ranging subjects, showing me videos in Portuguese to test my comprehension, and showing me written works like poems and stories, which we read and analyze together. My Portuguese has improved a ton since I started taking Beatriz’s lessons, and I look forward to every class!

Bia is a fantastic teacher! She’s really attentive and committed to helping you improve pronunciation, and also great at telling you which turns of phrase are actually used in daily life in Brasil vs what you may learn from a stodgy book. She takes time to answer all questions and documents the answers herself on a shared document so you can study and make progress.
