I’m passionate about languages, and I know you really enjoy learning Brazilian Portuguese. Learning a new language is one of the most fascinating abilities that we are able to do. It changes our daily life habits, it boosts our brain's neuroplasticity, it broadens our horizons of different cultures and peoples. That's why I'm currently trying to learn 5 languages more. I always loved to learn English as a self-taught. In 2011 I started my specialization course in English Language studies, focused on teaching methodology and translation. I could learn about different teaching approaches, linguistics, phonology and translation theories. So it was a perfect fit for 1-1 lessons.Me as a Teacher

This approach, combined with the IN USE concept, helps you connect with the language, stay engaged, and optimize your learning — bringing you real, lasting results. My lessons & teaching style

Jane is an extremely good teacher. I learned so much in just a couple of months. I love Portuguese and she is making the learning process even more pleasant, relaxed and easy. I am learning while speaking about topics and subjects I love and time goes by just like that. I totally recommend her as a teacher!!

It was a pleasure to have my first lesson with Jane. I'm still starting my Portuguese journey, and she was very patient with me. Her explanations were clear, and the use of materials made everything clearer. Thank you so much!

I have been meeting with Jane for the past two weeks to learn Portuguese and it has been a wonderful experience! Jane is always prepared for our lessons and helps in not only understanding the vocabulary and grammar of Brazilian Portuguese, but also the culture and practices associated. As someone who will be traveling to Brazil soon, I am thankful for the lessons with her and recommend for others to take courses with her as well!
