I appreciate that she has also been pretty flexible with her schedule with me since I can not always meet at the same times or days. My Portuguese has improved so much since taking lessons with her. I will sometimes slip and speak to her in English and she will always remind me to speak in Portuguese. We always communicate in Portuguese via text and she has daily tweets with Portuguese vocab words to study. I would suggest using her if you are looking to learn Portuguese.

Wilfredo C.

9 Portuguese lessons

If one knows everything there is about a language but cannot teach it than it is useless. However, with Jean you will not have this problem. Jean is flexible to accommodate your schedule but firm when it comes to teaching Portuguese and expectations for the student to do their part to learn the language. I have been impressed with his teaching and tutoring abilities and have improved my Portuguese language capabilities. Jean is highly recommended if you are interested in learning Portuguese.

Samantha B.

5 Portuguese lessons

Another plus was that as someone who knows Spanish herself, she was able to help me translate what I wanted to say from Spanish to Portuguese in addition to translating from English to Portuguese. Even after only 1 lesson I felt more confident/comfortable speaking in Portuguese. She is also very organized (I sent her the topics I wanted to go over the day before our lesson and I could tell she prepared for the lesson in advance), which I really appreciated.
