If by beneficial you mean profitable, that depends on whether you going to stay in Brazil and Brazils cost of living relative to teacher’s salary vs US one. I’m neither from Brazil nor US nor have an idea about language teacher labor market. But I moved from my home country to other country permanently. What I know for sure when deciding to move, is that you need to know at least 3 things about your country and other one: cost of living, median salary in your job, how much you loose on taxes. AFAIK, taxes especially relevant for US citizens as they are taxed by US even abroad.
Also how easy is to find Portuguese teacher job in US? Maybe stereotypes, but USAers seem to not be particularly interested in foreign languages

The market for Portuguese language teachers in the US would depend heavily on where OP lives, and they might have better prospects moving to a different city. I would think a large city like Chicago would have some demand, but perhaps not as high as Miami given the population of Brazilian expats and tourists in Miami. And either of those would probably be higher than, say, Crosby, North Dakota unless Crosby quietly has a large immigrant community. Still, moving within the US for work is probably much easier than moving from the US to Brazil.
