Jivana Drenth

Another excellent lesson by Jivana! Always patient, encouraging, and jolly. Very knowledgeable of the language and experienced in teaching. Can't wait for lesson three!

Prazer em conhecê-lo Jivana. Muito obrigado pela conversa de hoje, apesar de eu basicamente falar "portunhol". É muito legal também que você conheça a vida e a cultura tanto de Portugal quanto do Brasil, o que se reflete no seu sotaque tão interessante. later!

Another great lesson, thanks Jivana

Just had my first lessons with Jivana today and I can see why she received as many positive reviews as she did. Her personality is so approachable it's almost as if you've already known her before. It was also clear right from the beginning she's had experience teaching students just by the way she explained everything. Appreciate the lesson today and already have my second lesson booked. Obrigado!

Very helpful in identifying where to focus for first lesson to keep it from being intimidating. Helped quite a bit with leveraging what I know from Romance languages, and changing for Portuguese

If I had a teacher as patient as Jivana in high school, I’d still be speaking French! Not only is she patient, but very accommodating. I’m very happy to be one of her students!
