ABOUT US
Deciphering Brazil was founded in 2015 by professor and master Keyla L. Dragonetti, graduated in letters, specialized in business administration and master in Portuguese language from the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo, one of the most recognized Brazilian universities. While teaching her students, teacher Keyla noticed that, in addition to the structure of the language and the grammatical rules, the greatest difficulty was in the real communication situations.
By observing this reality, the teacher built a methodology capable of equipping the student to truly immerse himself in the Brazilian reality and, thus, decipher all its riches and singularities, through the linguistic and social codes of the Brazilian people. Following this trajectory of excellence, our courses provide practical teaching capable of preparing our students for interactions with native speakers in real situations, without ignoring the individuality of each student, including their previous knowledge and objectives in learning the language.
Our professors, in turn, are experienced and highly qualified, whether they have master’s or doctoral degrees in Portuguese, graduated from the main universities in Brazil.

What do our students say?

Rene Penco
United States
“Keyla was my portuguese professor for 2 years. I took both online and in-person classes with her. She is an amazing teacher: knowledgeable, patient, thorough yet able to make the process of learning fun. This sustained my desire and momentum to learn. As a result of studying with her, I was able to take a portuguese language proficiency exam at my place of employment. I passed the exam and got qualified as a portuguese language speaker. This was the direct result of working with Keyla. If you want to learn Portuguese, do not hesitate to contact Keyla. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“I recommend Keyla as an outstanding Portuguese teacher! Over the past year, I’ve had the pleasure of attending her engaging online classes, where her focus on business language has significantly enhanced my professional communication skills. Keyla’s teaching style is not only effective but has also made my learning enjoyable. Her patience, dedication, and ability to create a positive virtual learning environment have been instrumental in my progress. I truly appreciate the valuable skills and confidence I’ve gained under her guidance. If you’re looking for an exceptional language instructor, Keyla is the best choice!”

“Bringing my Portuguese to the next level. After more than 2 years in serving as a Senior Executive in Brazil, I had to move forward with a reboot program. With a mix of strong academic, a good sense of humor and pushing hard on improvement Keyla is perfect to attend my expectations in professional and private context. She was and still is a great option to push my Portuguese skills to a better level. Must admit preference for her sympathetic presencial lessons. She makes the most to stay available and to fit to your agenda – even with timezone differences (online).”

Sasha Rodrigues

“Keyla is an incredible teacher! She is very professional and communicative. Keyla always thinks of creative ways to learn and remember new information and her class flies by. I have been studying with her for 4 months now and she prepared me very well for my travels in Brazil. After 3 months, I was able to communicate all my needs and have more meaningful conversations in Portuguese. I look forward to continuing classes with her and highly recommend Keyla to anyone looking for a teacher.”
