Brazilian Portuguese, straight from Rio

"Melissa is an amazing Portuguese Tutor! I’ve been working with her for several months and my Portuguese has improved tremendously ever since. She is incredibly patient, adapts her lessons to your current level, and also speaks really strong english, so there is never any communication issue. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to learn or improve their Brazilian Portuguese!"

""Melissa is an exceptional Portuguese teacher. From the very first lesson she made me feel comfortable, motivated, and genuinely excited to learn. Her explanations are clear, her patience is incredible, and she has a real talent for making the language feel natural and easy to understand. I also love that she adds in her Carioca accent during the lesson so I can practise speaking naturally — it makes the conversation flow so much better and feels truly authentic. The class was fun, relaxed, and full of practical tips that instantly boosted my confidence. I’ve already learned more in one session with Melissa than I did in weeks of apps. I’m genuinely looking forward to every lesson with her. Highly recommended — 5 stars aren’t enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”"
