In the past 4 months, I’ve had 101 lessons with Julieta and I believe I can now say without a doubt that she is one of the very best teachers on italki. Julieta is not only knowledgeable about all quirks of her mother tongue, she knows how to share her enthusiasm about language learning. Only an excellent teacher can make the most complex things seem simple, and only a great teacher still can make it both interesting and enjoyable. Thank you so much, Julieta, for all your help in this first approach to Portuguese ; you truly are a Great Teacher!

Julieta has been a great help for me in my Portuguese studies. She is a positive and happy person, the type of person who makes your day brighter. She dominates her mother tongue perfectly, she never even blinked with an eye when I asked her something in concrete (grammar related). And I did asked quite some! The internet, video and audion quality has been great too. I could not be happier! Julieta, thank you for doing such a great job!

Excelente! 👍

Exceptional. Julieta cares about her craft. While she is gregarious and affable, it is clear that her concerns are broader and deeper than some nebulous "communication." Yes, to connect, but there are many ways of doing so and some are better than others. There is connection, for sure, but also clarity, precision, guidance, and all with a gentle but firm touch. That she types corrections, modifications, emphases and the like onto the screen is really helpful, especially because these are then available to me for review. Julieta also offers exercises, for example, asking me to describe a familiar route -- for me that would be to my yoga studio. Good test of vocabulary and much more without leaving me overwhelmed. Having been a college/university professor for 20 years, and thus with some knowledge of teaching aptitude, pedagogy, and gifts, I can say with confidence that Julieta is a teacher by design and by native gifts.

Great conversation practice!
