About Izabel
Hey!
I'm Izzy, a native Brazilian and TESOL-certified language teacher with 7 years of real-world experience across four continents and one clear mission: to teach you the Portuguese people actually speak.
I lived in London, Berlin, and Buenos Aires, and spent time across Europe, the Caribbean, North Africa, Russia, and South America, from the streets of New Orleans to the salt flats of Bolivia and the peaks of Machu Picchu.
Living abroad also made me fluent in Spanish, so I understand firsthand what it means to build a language from scratch in a real environment, not a classroom.
I know what it feels like to navigate a new language as an adult in real life. That experience is the foundation of everything I teach.
My background is in social communication and design, which shapes how I structure lessons, what actually sticks, what builds confidence, and what's just noise. I'm TESOL certified and currently completing my TEFL certification, deepening my foundation in communicative, student-centered teaching.
I teach because I've seen too many students who can fill in grammar blanks but freeze the moment a Brazilian actually speaks to them. That gap is exactly what my lessons are designed to close.

You've probably already tried an app.
You know some vocabulary, maybe some verb conjugations. But when a Brazilian speaks to you at normal speed, with real expressions, regional sounds, and slang, everything disappears.
That's not your fault.
That's what apps were never designed to teach.
My lessons are built around the Portuguese Brazilians actually speak: the contractions, the filler words, the way we shorten everything, the expressions that don't exist in any textbook.
We work with real materials, music, dialogues, short videos, everyday situations, because that's how real fluency is built.
Every session is personalized to your level, your goals, and your pace. We start with a real conversation so I understand exactly where you are and what you need.
From there, lessons are structured around your life: travel, work, connecting with Brazilian friends or family, or simply falling in love with the language and the culture behind it.
Beginners are welcome. So are people who've been "intermediate" for years and just need someone to finally unlock it.

Izabel is a very patient, kind, and dedicated person. She explains things clearly and truly cares about her students’ progress. I highly recommend her!
Learning Portuguese with Izabel was one of the highlights of my trip. She brought together people from Poland, Germany, and other countries in the hostel and made the class super interactive. I never thought I could start speaking so fast, but after her lesson, I could go to a restaurant in Brazil and order by myself. Highly recommended!
I had the chance to take some Portuguese conversation classes with Bel, and I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. She’s got this amazing, warm energy that makes you feel comfortable, even I if I was shy about speaking. Our “lessons” ended up being fun, natural chats and I learned a lot without even noticing. She’s super smart, and has a great sense of humor. If you’re looking for someone to practice with who makes learning feel effortless, Bel’s your person.
