(LSP) Portuguese, English and Spanish teacher with over 10 years of experience Hey! My name is Lygia, and I teach personalized one-on-one language lessons. Though I teach general courses, my specialization is LSP (Language for Specific Purposes) This means I create tailored courses for those who have a specific focus in mind! Whether it's advancing from a level where you feel stuck, preparing for an interview, migrating, regaining fluency when you feel you've forgotten a lot, using the language at work, chatting with in-laws, traveling, understanding your favorite songs and books—anything! For some students, this means we will study only a handful of topics. For others, it means learning the whole language from where you are, but focusing more on certain topics. I tailor my methods to each student but with most of my students, I dedicate a great part of the lesson to his/her output. I like to learn about my students' interests and connect my lessons to them, helping students use the vocabulary and grammar they learned the way they will use it in real life! I teach students of all levels in Portuguese, and intermediate-level students and above in English. I've lived and worked (both online and in person) in various countries, such as Guatemala, Mexico, the United States, Brazil, Turkey, Hungary, and Sri Lanka, so I know what it’s like to truly need a foreign language to get by! I'm very curious and enjoy hearing people talk about what they're passionate about, so whatever your interests are, we'll talk about them in our course :) Hope to see you s...

I really enjoy my lessons with Lygia. She is a wealth of knowledge on the history of Brasil and she is incredibly patient when I'm trying to grapple with these tricky topics. I am feeling more confident speaking Portuguese after every lesson with her. It has been such a good investment to continue achieving progress with my language learning as I've struggled with this over the years learning by myself.

I've thoroughly enjoy my lessons with Lygia. I had started conversation classes with her before my trip to Brazil. It was a great investment, that made me feel like I got to understand the country and people more than the average tourist with zero Portuguese knowledge. Lygia is such a pleasure to chat to, she is enthusiastic and patient. I look forward to continuing my weekly classes with her.

I've been taking lessons with Lygia for 3 months now and she has been amazing! I started not knowing much and my ability to speak and understand Portuguese has gotten so much better. She provide a really good course structure that is easy to follow and she makes classes really fun as well. I feel confident for my trip to Brazil and am really glad I signed up for classes with Lygia! I'd 100% recommend
