How do I find a good Brazilian Portuguese tutor actually based in São Paulo?

Been living in Brazil for about a year now and my Portuguese is... fine-ish lol. I can get around, talk to people, deal with normal life etc but I really want to start taking it more seriously and get a tutor.

The thing is I specifically want someone from São Paulo / with a São Paulo accent.

Not because I think it's somehow "better Portuguese", just because I live here and this is the way I actually want to speak. The accent, vocabulary, slang, little expressions people use here etc. I don't really want a generic "Brazilian Portuguese" teacher who lives abroad or someone teaching a completely different regional variety.

Ideally someone who actually lives in SP and can help with natural conversation more than textbook grammar.

Where do people find tutors like this? Preply/italki? Facebook groups? Universities? Some Brazilian platform I'm missing?

Also if anyone has an actual tutor in São Paulo they recommend pls send them my way.
