Olá! I’m Catarina, a native European Portuguese speaker passionate about helping others truly live the language — not just memorise words. While I tutor learners of all ages and levels, I specialise in supporting people who are planning to move to Portugal. This means I focus not only on the language, but also on the everyday phrases, cultural insights, and practical vocabulary you’ll need to settle in with confidence. Teaching Methodology & Techniques I combine practical conversation practice with clear grammar explanations and vocabulary building, always focusing on real-life situations. We’ll use authentic materials like dialogues, videos, and articles to make learning engaging and relevant. I believe in an interactive approach, so you’ll be speaking Portuguese from the very first lesson. Lesson Length & Frequency Each lesson is 60 minutes, and students are welcome to book more than one session per week. I usually recommend two sessions weekly for faster progress and better retention, especially for those preparing for relocation or intensive learning goals. Qualifications & Experience I’m a native Portuguese speaker with years of tutoring experience, working with learners from complete beginners to advanced speakers. I have helped many people prepare for their move to Portugal, ensuring they can communicate naturally in daily situations. Who My Lessons Are For I teach all levels — from total beginners to advanced learners — and all age ranges, from school students to retirees. Whether you’re starting from scratch, refining your fluency, or getting ready for a big move, I’ll adapt the pace and style to suit you. With me, learning European Portuguese is not only effective, but also enjoyable and culturally enriching.

Learning Portuguese through Catarina was one of the best decisions I’ve made so far this year since I thought moving to Portugal.
At first I was a bit sceptical because the language sounded so different and hard to learn.
Once I got a recommendation through a friend to get some lessons with Catarina, everything changed and become so much easier and smooth. This move is already too much to stress.
I cannot recommend Catarina more.
She is the sweetest, kindest and the most patient person.
If you are looking to learn Portuguese, learn it from a Native. 100% would recommend her to all my friends that are looking to move to Portugal aswellI’m very happy with the help she provides. She is patient, friendly, and always willing to think along. I’m very satisfied with her work and can highly recommend her.
