After years of false starts learning Portuguese, Amanda has been a godsend. Like many people looking to learn Brazilian Portuguese in the United States, I came with a significant background in Spanish. As a tutor of both Spanish and Portuguese, Amanda has been a wonderful resource in helping me separate out and improve both languages so that they're no longer just "portunhol" in my head. Lessons have involved a mix of conversations, exercises, and a number of excellent readings. That's been a major highlight. I majored in literature as an undergrad and got an MA, so it's safe to say it's something I love. Amanda has brought in consistently interesting and conversation worthy essays and works of fiction that address important facets of Brazilian culture. Finally, I'll say that I'm a queer and trans person. Finding a tutor who feels comfortable to work with can be difficult. Amanda has made me feel more than comfortable and been consistently supportive.

Amanda is a great teacher and I recommend her to everyone!

Sempre gosto das classes com Amanda. Ela e muita profissional e sabe como ensinar.

Amanda has created a free ebook that's a wonderful tool to help her students learn Portuguese. I highly recommend it, and I use it as a reference to help me remember those foundational parts of how to speak Portuguese.

Amanda is an excellent teacher, and I truly enjoy her classes!

Amanda is an amazing teacher!!! Highly recommend.
