Vanessa Detomi Phillips

My lessons are fully personalised and adapted to each student’s level, goals, and learning style. I work with a clear, calm, and structured approach, making sure you understand each step before moving on.

What my lessons are like:
– We begin with an initial session to assess your level, identify your needs, and understand the topics you want to focus on.
– Based on this, I create a personalised plan that includes practical vocabulary, everyday expressions, and themes relevant to your interests.
– During the lessons, we combine guided conversation, pronunciation practice, vocabulary building, and simple explanations to help you feel confident using the language.
– I also bring elements of Brazilian culture into the lessons to make the learning experience more natural and enjoyable.

Lesson format:
– One-to-one online lessons
– Structured conversation practice
– Short exercises for reinforcement
– Materials provided when needed (texts, dialogues, audio, podcasts)
– A relaxed pace, adapted to your needs
– Space for questions at any time

Who my lessons are for:
– Complete beginners
– Students who want to improve their conversation skills
– Learners who need Portuguese for travel, work, or daily life
– English or Italian speakers who prefer learning with a native Brazilian tutor

My goal is to help you learn Portuguese in a clear, supportive, and enjoyable way, building confidence while exploring the language and the culture behind it.
