ABOUT
I'MÂ CATARINA
Â
I’m Catarina Bento—a certified language coach and native Portuguese tutor with a love for languages with the mission to help ambitious learners actually connect through language.
Whether you’re learning for citizenship, work, or love, I combine modern coaching with neuroscience-based techniques to help you understand and express yourself in real Portuguese—without the shame, stress, or endless grammar drills.
MY STORY
Â
I’ve always loved languages—but the traditional methods never helped me speak. So, I created my own method based on real-life communication, not outdated textbooks.
It worked for me, and soon it worked for others too. I started helping expats, professionals, and passionate learners overcome their fear of speaking. What started as a few tutoring sessions turned into a thriving coaching practice & a podcast.Â

Catarina is an extraordinary teacher who brings passion and purpose to every lesson. Her method is logical and effective — everything makes sense, and you always know where you’re going. Learning with her is motivating, fun, and deeply intentional. She's a rare find.

Catarina quickly understood how I learn and adapted her teaching in a way that made everything click. Her materials are spot-on, and for the first time, Portuguese felt possible — and enjoyable — on my terms.

As a complete beginner, I was amazed at how tailored Catarina’s lessons were. She balanced conversation and grammar perfectly, and I could tell she genuinely cared about my progress. Highly recommended.
