Testimonials
Finding Mariana and choosing her to be my Portuguese teacher was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I have struggled to learn a second language my whole life (I’ve tried to learn 4, and had many different teachers!), including studying abroad, but no teacher or experience has helped me the way Mariana has. She comes to every class exceptionally prepared with customized lessons based on my interests. She mixes in different mediums (podcasts, books, movies), conversation, games, and textbook activities to always keep things interesting. She makes sure I’m not just learning Portuguese but learning all about Brazilian culture as well. You will not be disappointed if you sign up for classes with Mariana!

A Mariana é uma professora muito dedicada, culta e atenta às demandas individuais dos alunos. É nítido o esmero na preparação de cada aula. Ela parece compreender o “algoritmo” de interesse de cada aluno, trazendo um conteúdo personalizado e divertido para as aulas. Além de uma professora excelente, é uma pessoa querida e inteligente. Super recomendo!

I have been working with Mariana for almost a year now and have absolutely loved it! I have learned so much about Brazil and it’s culture through classes with her. She is so patient and does a great job of teaching with different methods such as music, videos, visuals, and audios. She is also super understanding and flexible with scheduling which is so helpful since my work schedule varies each week. Mariana is very organized and enthusiastic about teaching which always makes for a great class. I look forward to class every week with her as it is always something new. I definitely recommend her as your professor- you won’t regret it!
