Ana Botas,
Portuguese Teacher

I am Ana – a dynamic entrepreneur driven by a passion for languages, education, and cultural connection.

As the founder of ‘Speak Portuguese With Ana,’ I empower expats, digital nomads, and enthusiasts to confidently embrace the Portuguese language and culture through personalized, engaging learning experiences.

With Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) recognized by the UK’s National College for Teaching and Leadership, and extensive expertise as an Examiner for Cambridge Assessment and Pearson Edexcel, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my teaching.
My approach integrates João de Deus’s pedagogical methods, fostering a positive, fun, and effective environment that inspires confidence and progress.

In addition to teaching, I am an intuitive life coach, guiding individuals through my practice, Empowerment & Clarity Coaching. This work complements my commitment to personal growth, offering transformative support to those navigating change.

My entrepreneurial vision extends to creating supportive communities and encouraging meaningful connections. I believe that patience, positivity, and perseverance are key to achieving success in both learning and life.

Through my work, I help others unlock their potential and embrace opportunities for growth and connection.
