Studying with Samantha isn’t just about language—it’s about unlocking your confidence and joy. Book a lesson, and you’ll see why learning with her feels like the highlight of your week.

Samantha is THE best. Fun, intelligent, professional and prepared. I’ve been taking a lesson a week for about 3 years with Samantha and have no plans to stop. She has the patience (and confidence in her students) to only use Portuguese. She doesn’t get frustrated and use English or want to show off her English. She is there to help me and give me a chance use the language. Learning with Samantha is like hanging out with your best friend.

I started taking classes prior to my arrival in Salvador, it has been so helpful! Now that I am in Brazil we are increasing the classes and I'm able to use what I learn in the markets and with my Brazilian roomate.

I’ve improved so much since I’ve started learning with Samantha! She makes learning fun and teaches in a way that makes each lesson exciting! I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to learn a new language.

Samantha is a thoughtful and knowledgeable instructor. She is very flexible with her methods and very accommodating to a range of skill levels.

Samantha is the best! Creative, fun and always very positive and encouraging.
