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.

Lygia is so sociable, bubbly, patient and helpful. Her classes are fun and engaging and I learn so much with each lesson. She also gives me homework and resources to look at after each lesson to reinforce what I learned. Additionally, she teaches through Portuguese which helps me to pick up on new words and phrases quickly and get used to listening to the language. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn Portuguese or Spanish.

Lygia has been great after three lessons. She was more than willing to meet me where I am at with my Portuguese learning and consistently asks for input on specific things that I want to cover. She is very knowledgeable about the linguistics side of things and because she is fluent in portuguese, spanish and english has been able to effectively relate all three to help me understand topics better. She is personable and has graciously been flexible with schedule when she was able. I highly recommend taking classes with Lygia!

Lygia is really personable and prepared for each lesson. She provides materials, excellent lessons, and homework assignments to practice outside of lessons. With her help, my Portuguese improved drastically. I 100% recommend taking a lesson with Lygia!
