Como sempre foi uma ótima aula com a Marielle. Estou estudando com ela uma hora por semana há 3 meses e tenho progredido bastante. Nossas últimas aulas foram sobre colocação pronominal e pronomes oblíquos átonos, o plural metafônico, acentuação, e regência verbal. Também sempre dedicamos uma parte da aula à conversação. Ela sempre prepara bastante as aulas com material adaptado ao que preciso aprender. Além disso a Marielle é muito simpática e as aulas são muito divertidas! A great lesson as usual with Marielle! She has been teaching me one hour a week for 3 months and I have made significant progress. Our last lessons focused on "colocação pronominal", "plural metafônico", and "regência verbal". We also dedicate part of each lesson to conversation. She always prepares thoroughly the lessons with material adapted to what I need to learn. Moreover, Marielle is very friendly and the lessons are always fun! Jérôme.

Marielle has an amazing ability to make students feel comfortable. She can conduct conversations on a wide variety of topics, and as a result, class time flies so quickly that it's often hard to believe that an hour has passed. I love learning everyday-Portuguese conversation this way. I am already looking forward to my next lesson. Thank you, Marielle!

Really great teacher. Makes it fun and doesn't put a lot of pressure on you to keep up with homework and can adapt the class to where you are at for the day. Make it worth showing up even when you feel like not going because your behind in your studies. The teacher knows life is busy but always finds away to keep you learning and to make you comfortable.

I have worked with Marielle for around 3-4 years now, having weekly hour-long meetings with her. She is by all accounts a great teacher. I would say that her strengths are in empathizing with students and making them feel at ease during the sensitive periods of gaining confidence in another language. Responsive to individual situation, sensitive to student feelings, friendly and always professional (without ever seeming impersonal), Marielle has demonstrated herself countless times as a dependable language teacher. As a professor, myself, I recognize other good educators. In addition to her kind demeanor and professional comportment, she has always been prepared for our lessons. In working with her I have been able to achieve advanced/intermediate proficiency in the language, and I hope to continue my work with her towards fluency and beyond.

Since April 2026, I have been taking lessons with Marielle, and it has always been a pleasure to improve my Portuguese with her. I feel very comfortable during our lessons, even though I am usually quite shy when it comes to speaking another language. I have learned so much about Portuguese grammar, conjugation, and spelling. The advice and tips she shares with me are incredibly helpful. I really appreciate her teaching style and the supportive atmosphere she creates, which makes learning Portuguese an enjoyable experience!

Really enjoying the lessons with Marielle so far! They are interesting, relevant, well-structured and well-thought through. The way in which the homework is structured around the lesson and each lesson tailored exactly to where I am at means it all feels relevant and helpful and there is an opportunity to practice and integrate the learnings 😊
