After almost 30 lessons with Joana I can say with confidence that Joana is a phenomenal teacher. Her English is great so communication is very easy. I feel very comfortable speaking, expressing myself and making mistakes, she creates a very positive environment for teaching. She is intelligent, patient, calm and overall a great person. Each time I look forward to my lesson knowing I will learn something new and be in good company. Obrigado Joana, 10/10 recommend.

I really enjoy classes with Joana. She is very friendly, energetic, and a great resource in helping me during this journey to learn Portuguese. Her english is excellent which makes explanations or corrections quick and easy during class.

Great conversation class this morning ! I learn so much about Brazil through Joana’s cultural insights that she shares. Very professional, great listener/speaker, and she makes class feel light. Looking forward to our next session !

I am a beginner Portuguese learner and I really struggle to speak but Joanna has made it feel very easy! She also speaks phenomenal English so it's easy to ask anything I need in English. I really recommend taking a class with her!

I am very satisfied with the lessons Joana provides! She is incredibly patient in her teaching, offers plenty of examples to help me understand, and is always willing to answer any questions I have. She even goes above and beyond by providing homework outside of our scheduled lessons. Joana is very intentional in her approach to teaching, and it is evident that she genuinely cares about my learning and progress. I truly appreciate her dedication and the effort she puts into each lesson! I’d recommend her to everyone wanting to learn a new language!

I had a great first class with Joana! I felt comfortable and I felt that the class was balanced; we both had the opportunity to speak and lsiten to one another, and it was great hearing about the insights that she had to offer about places. I'm looking forward to the next one!
