Cristina has been an amazing Portuguese teacher! I've been working with her for a few months now, and from the very first class she listened to what I needed — which was mainly to practice speaking — and tailored every session around that. What really impressed me was how she started by assessing my level and then consistently came to each class with prepared materials to match where I was. It never felt generic. Most recently, I asked her to help me prepare for a work presentation, and she went above and beyond — helping me draft the content, practice my pronunciation, and giving me detailed, actionable feedback. I felt genuinely confident going in. If you're looking for a teacher who really listens and adapts to your goals, Cristina is the one. Highly recommend!

I recommend this teacher to anyone that wants to have fun learning difficult subjects and concept. When you get to something that you are struggling with she will stop and take time to focus on it is a fun way which makes it easier to remember. Her experience showed that she cares about her students learning the correct way and more important remembering good pronunciation.

I had a trial lesson with Cristina, and she was really well prepared, professional, and motivating. Her style involves engaging, high-energy interaction with a continual focus on language fundamentals, particularly grammar. I would recommend her to anyone looking to improve their Portuguese, and I look forward to booking future lessons.

I’ve taken over 50 classes with Cristina, dating back to July 2021. In that time, I’ve gone from an A1 beginner to a B1+ level in Brazilian Portuguese (I don’t speak any Spanish at all, just English). She’s flexible to your style of learning and we’ve built a friendship throughout the last 8 months. If you’re looking to have a good time while rapidly improving your abilities in Portuguese, I can’t recommend her enough. I’m confident that working with her will be key in my plans to to bump up to B2 over the next 6+ months.

She is always listening my pronounce carefully. So I hope I will speak correct pronunciation in the future.
