Cristina is able to help me where most teachers can’t. I’ve been struggling to learn for 8 years and still can’t converse or read but she doesn’t let me have a negative attitude and makes classes interesting and gives me hope.

I’ve taken over 50 classes with Cristina, dating back to July 2021. In that time, I’ve gone from an A1 beginner to a B1+ level in Brazilian Portuguese (I don’t speak any Spanish at all, just English).
She’s flexible to your style of learning and we’ve built a friendship throughout the last 8 months. If you’re looking to have a good time while rapidly improving your abilities in Portuguese, I can’t recommend her enough. I’m confident that working with her will be key in my plans to to bump up to B2 over the next 6+ months.

I recommend this teacher to anyone that wants to have fun learning difficult subjects and concept. When you get to something that you are struggling with she will stop and take time to focus on it is a fun way which makes it easier to remember. Her experience showed that she cares about her students learning the correct way and more important remembering good pronunciation.

I had a trial lesson with Cristina, and she was really well prepared, professional, and motivating. Her style involves engaging, high-energy interaction with a continual focus on language fundamentals, particularly grammar. I would recommend her to anyone looking to improve their Portuguese, and I look forward to booking future lessons.

Beyond always being prepared, Cristina was nice enough to complete a full lesson with me even though I arrived very late. Thanks Cristina!
