Marina encourages less in a directed pedagogical way, than through the nature of her personality and interests, her capacity to listen and develop discussions, to provide context and knowledge while offering assistance in vocabulary, grammar and regionalismos. The lessons are more than just fun, they are inspiriting and enlivening, in the way that an art exhibit, book or play may expand your consciousness. I always come away learning something fascinating and unexpected, and motivated to learn and research in anticipation of our next conversation. She is so unassumingly intelligent, she is someone you would want to know in any language.

A wonderful class! Marina is so kind and patient. She is great at helping out and giving the perfect word for each situation. The perfect way to have a nice conversation and learn at the same time without stress and anxiety.

Marina is more than dedicated and engaging. She has a spark that encourages engagement with various topics and an openness that invites conversation. Além de aprender a falar português, as lições são conversações de verdade com troca de ideias. Não vai se arrepender!

Que primeira experiência incrível falar com a Marina! O tempo voou rápido e a gente teve muita coisa para falar. Recebi correções ótimas e a Marina explicou bem os erros que fiz. Quase não posso esperar até a nossa próxima aula começar! Abraços

Thank you Marina for great lessons and very interesting chats!

I really enjoyed my first class with Marina. I highly recommend her.
