About Izzy
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.

My teaching style is conversational, intuitive, and deeply personalized.
I don’t believe in rigid methods or one-size-fits-all lessons. Instead, I adapt to each student, their goals, their personality, and the way they naturally learn. Some students need structure, others need flow, and I know how to balance both.
My classes are designed to help you *think* in the language, not just translate. We focus on real communication, expressing ideas, telling stories, asking questions, and building confidence step by step.
I often bring topics that go beyond the surface: culture, daily life, emotions, travel, and even deeper conversations if that’s what you’re looking for. Because language is not just a tool, it’s a way of seeing and experiencing the world.
Mistakes are part of the process, and I create a space where you feel comfortable to speak freely, without fear or pressure.
If you want classes that feel natural, engaging, and meaningful, where you can truly express yourself, this is the right place for you.

Izabel’s Portuguese lessons are amazing! Her teaching method is very effective for improving conversation skills. She has great energy, makes learning fun, and always brings a good sense of humor to class. Highly recommended!
Izzy's classes are very dynamic and fun, which is wonderful when learning a new language. I highly recommend taking classes with her.
Izabel is a fantastic teacher! She is funny, always in a good mood and can explain things very well. I met her in a hostel and as I'm learning Portuguese, I asked her to teach me. My goal is not necessarily grammar, but the ability to speak freely and she helped me a lot with that. She also taught me a lot of everyday words. Learning with her is easy, playful and fun. I am a teacher myself, so I can judge this well!
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.
