Better Call Nanda

Nanda informed me in our lesson yesterday that we have now done 100 lessons together. Time flies! It is an indication of how good a teacher she is, and the positivity and creativity that she brings to her lessons, that I had no idea we had done so many - no two lessons have been the same, and they have all been lively and interesting. Nanda uses a variety of methods - videos, song lyrics, passages to translate, etc, etc, etc - so she can find a lesson format that will work for any student. Nanda is quite simply an excellent teacher, and I can't recommend her highly enough to anyone who wants to learn in a fun, relaxed way.

I started learning with Nanda 9 months ago, speaking almost no Portuguese and a bit nervous about online lessons. I can now have conversations with my Brazilian friends on a wide variety of topics, and understand all sorts of Portuguese movies and TV shows. Nanda is excellent at explaining grammar, everyday speech and culture in an easy to understand, relaxed manner that doesn't feel like a classroom. She always comes prepared with engaging activities suited to my level and is endlessly supportive and patient when I make mistakes (often repeatedly) or struggle to express a certain concept. The best part is: the lessons are genuinely fun! They are a good mix of conversation and structure, so it's never too repetitive, plus the conversation gives me heaps of practice to get the most out of what I've learned. Thank you Nanda, I look forward to our next lesson!

Nanda always encourages me when it comes to trying to speak in Spanish. She gives me time to think about what I'm trying to articulate and is patient when I'm thinking about words I'm looking for. She always starts the lesson with a conversation in Spanish and implements concepts and words we used in previous lessons to solidify and enhance my learning. I also enjoy the written and visual materials she provides and is constantly trying to expand my vocabulary through writing and video.

Nanda has been such a huge help to me. I feel like I’m finally making progress in my Spanish education! She makes the lessons fun while at the same time keeping me in line so I don’t form bad habits with grammar and pronunciation. I swear the hour lessons fly by! She also stays on me if I don’t schedule for a bit so that I don’t fall out of good habits of consistency which we all know is key. Thank you nanda!

my first lesson with nanda was super laid back and informative. she took the time to learn my interest and understand my motivations. I look forward to working with her again !

Great teacher! The lesson was fun.
