Native European Portuguese speaker helps you learn and improve the language
Hi, I'm Catarina and I am a native Portuguese speaker who loves to teach and learn. I like to adapt the lessons to my students and have been teaching all levels, from beginner to advanced. I have a Pedagogical Skills Certificate which allows me to give training here in Portugal and have a passion for sharing some knowledge of my language and also learning from people with different nationalities and backgrounds.
My education is in Science and Culinary and I love both these fields. I love to read and learn about anything that I find interesting. Hope to see you soon!

Katerina is a teacher who makes learning enjoyable. She is very patient and creates a “safe space” for me where I feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions (even when I repeat them several times) without fearing judgment. Beyond vocabulary and grammar, she also exposes me to cultural contexts, which are critical for understanding the language and the local culture. She has an excellent ability to explain things in a simple and clear way, and it’s clear that she does so with enthusiasm and a genuine desire to help. I highly recommend Katerina to anyone looking for a supportive, professional, and inspiring teacher.

Embora nao costume deixar os comentarios na barra, desta vez quero dizer sinceramente a Catarina fez milagres. Ate agora nao tinha tanta confiança de usar a lingua como ja, graças a Catarina. Atingimos a um nivel em que ja so tenho de fazer poucos exercisios e treinar me em refinar a pronuncia. Desde que começamos, na altura quando andava a falar fraco, ao ter essas aulas, eu consegui fazer tal bom progresso que nao pensava nem imainava. Muito obrigado pela ajuda professora!

Catarina is an excellent teacher. She always comes well prepared to the lesson, is attentive, and answers every question. The learning material is adapted to me as a student. I really enjoy studying with her — she’s also very friendly and kind.
