John H.

5 Portuguese lessons

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.

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.

Renee S.

2 Portuguese lessons

She is very warm and attentive. She is very fluent in Portuguese and she helped me a great deal with pronunciations and accents due to her strong, effective techniques used in understanding the language. Marina has a very engaging style of teaching Portuguese which makes you understand at a rapid pace. Marina makes learning fun and interesting. I am very proud to have her as my tutor and will definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Portuguese.
