Words as a
tool for achievement.
An exclusive teaching method developed for each path: from welcoming language support for foreigners (Celpe-Bras) to the technical precision required in public-service exams and top university entrance exams.
Teaching mentorship designed for real results
Nice to meet you, I am Prof. Rosa Esther
My mission is to democratize the Portuguese language and give my students the autonomy to express themselves correctly, authentically and rigorously. With a degree in Portuguese Language and Literature from UFPA, I bring academic experience as an active teacher in the Celpe-Bras preparatory program at PEPLE (Portuguese as a Foreign Language), as well as experience in several preparatory courses.
Beyond conventional teaching, I am an advanced Libras signer with technical training in Translation, and I work as an interpreter. That is why I do pioneering work teaching written Portuguese as a second language (L2) to Deaf students and provide qualified interpreting services, promoting true pedagogical inclusion.
Academic strengths:
- Personalized lessons and support with Libras mediation for Deaf students.
- Teaching materials focused on developing Portuguese as a second language (L2).
- Objective, technical approach to writing for public-service and traditional university entrance exams.
- Specialized consulting in linguistic accessibility and translation.

Choose a correction example:
Essays sent by students go through this rigorous analysis. Individual correction focuses on recurring mistakes so that students internalize standard Portuguese intuitively.
The example sentences are in Portuguese, the language you will be learning.
passage with an error: Fazem muitos anos que a população passage with an error: vêm sofrendo com a falta de saneamento básico, o qual causa muitos problemas de saúde pública.
correction: Faz muitos anos que a população correction: vem sofrendo com a falta de saneamento básico, o que causa muitos problemas de saúde pública.
Grammar rules analysis
The verb “fazer” meaning elapsed time is impersonal, so it always stays in the 3rd person singular (“faz”, not “fazem”). Also, the subject of “vem” is “a população” (singular), so the verb takes no circumflex accent (which is reserved for the plural “vêm”).
Remember: elapsed time and weather phenomena have no subject, so the verb stays singular!
