Marina

The biggest take for me with Marina, is she makes me feel comfortable. I feel like she is invested in helping me learn and I am confident to try having a conversation even if unsure. I am very satisfied with my lessons and surprised how much I remember.

I love taking lessons with Marina! Today marks one year that I've been learning Portuguese with her and I am shocked by how much my Portuguese has improved. In just a year, I went from not being able to say anything to being able to hold conversations comfortably and rarely be lost for a word. Marina makes the learning process super fun with how encouraging she is. Our lessons don't even feel like a lesson anymore. It feels like I'm just sitting down to talk with a great friend. She also makes great homework activities to improve your comprehension and vocabulary in specific areas. It's been a fun journey learning Portuguese and the beautiful, amazing culture that surrounds it with her. And I look forward to more lessons. If you are looking for a teacher who feels like a friend and who is going to give you confidence and make the learning process enjoyable, you have that in Marina :)

she really is an incredible teacher!!! one year ago i couldnt speak any portuguese at all and now i can actually hold a conversation and understand various subjects!!!

Excelente!

Marina sempre me deixa confortavel e estou muito feliz com meu progresso. Aprendi muito em 5 meses! This may not be accurate but I feel comfortable with making mistakes whilst trying to learn. Axé!
