The teacher who finally got me speaking Portuguese!
I worked with Julia for several months to get ready for a trip to Brazil with my husband and our three young kids to visit his family and attend two family weddings. I'd tried learning Portuguese on my own for years without much progress and knew I needed something different, which led me to Julia.
When we got to Brazil, the family was blown away by how much I'd improved since they'd seen me a year earlier, and they were so excited to finally chat with me. I ordered food for my kids at restaurants, went shopping on my own, and handled my needs and my children's needs without leaning on my husband, which was exactly my goal.
Julia tailored every lesson to what I actually needed, like small talk at weddings, conversations with family, and getting around with kids. She's easy to work with, never makes you feel slow, and knows when to step back if you're getting overwhelmed. She's also your biggest cheerleader! She's kept in touch since my trip to answer questions and check in on me.
I felt so comfortable with her, and it showed in my progress. Her lessons helped me feel closer to my family. I can't recommend her enough!
