I’ve just started working with Ana, doing two to three lessons a week, and I couldn’t be happier with choosing her as my teacher! Ana comes into every lesson with happy, positive energy that makes the learning process engaging and fun. She also creates an environment where making mistakes is always treated as an opportunity to learn and never as a bad thing. I came into these lessons speaking workable Portuguese, having lived in both Brazil and Portugal, but my level was still very basic. Within just one month of working with Ana, I’ve noticeably improved my ability to move between tenses, use a wider range of vocabulary, and talk about significantly more complex topics than I expected to be able to discuss this year! I’m going to be working with Ana for the foreseeable future, and if you’re looking for a teacher yourself, I’d highly recommend giving her a shot!

Ana is a fantastic Portuguese teacher! As an absolute beginner (A0), I was quite intimidated by the idea of speaking. But Ana has been incredibly patient and encouraging. She gives me plenty of opportunities to practice speaking. Since starting lessons with Ana, I have noticed real improvement in my Portuguese. I can read and understand words much better now, and I feel more motivated to speak during class. She is very organised and always comes prepared with worksheets, games, and engaging speaking topics. I also appreciate how she uses Google Classroom to share handouts and homework so learning is structured and accessible. Ana makes classes fun by incorporating Brazilian cultural topics and relating lessons to my own life, which keeps things interesting and relevant. I highly recommend Ana to any beginner looking for a structured and enjoyable learning experience.

Ana really challenged me to stick with Portuguese! She brought me out of my comfort zone in ways I needed and I left the class feeling more confident in my ability to keep growing.

Ana has a clear structured lesson plan to follow with a lot of outside resources to reinforce students learning. She manages homework for individuals really well and the feedback on the homework is really helpful. The lessons are engaging and fun with a mixture of reading, speaking and listening. She corrects mistakes early to help avoid bad patterns. Ana is very fun to be around and is a great teacher!

Ana understood my language learning needs perfectly for Brazilian Portugues. Obrigada!!

Friendly and extremely enthusiastic about speaking English.
