Mariana Costa

With over 15 years of teaching experience spanning three continents, I've helped hundreds of professionals and scholars prepare for success in Brazilian business and academic contexts. My background includes corporate language training for multinational companies operating in Brazil, as well as preparing international students for university studies conducted in Portuguese.

I take pride in my structured, goal-oriented approach that helps students achieve measurable progress. Whether you need to prepare for a job interview in Portuguese, improve your writing for academic papers, or enhance your presentation skills for business meetings, I provide targeted instruction and practice opportunities.

My lessons incorporate authentic materials from Brazilian business and academic settings, ensuring you learn relevant vocabulary and conventions. Beyond language skills, I also provide cultural insights essential for professional success in Brazil.

My teaching approach is goal-oriented and systematic. I begin with a thorough assessment of your current skills and specific objectives, then create a customized learning plan with clear milestones. Lessons combine explicit instruction with extensive practice opportunities, using case studies and role-plays relevant to your professional or academic context. Regular assessments help track progress and refine our approach as needed.
