What some students say about me:

 

• "outstanding language tutor" - I  have been studying Portuguese for more than 30 years and have, as a result, had more than a dozen teachers over time. Most were woefully inadequate and two stood out from all the rest. Adriana is one of the elite ones. She always arrives on time or early, is well prepared for each lesson, communicates at a high level and has a more than pleasant personality. I feel that I have progressed more rapidly under her tutledge than I ever expected. If you run across a person who wants to be "Brasilianized", please recommend the Lady from Tocantins to him/her, They won't ever regret signing up with her.- Alex from Boynton Beach, FL

 

• I have been working with Adrianna since February of 2009. She has been an excellent Brazilian - Portuguese instructor for me. I especially appreciate her attention to the details, her thoughtful approach to teaching the language and especially her preparation for each lesson. Her ability to communicate the message of the lesson as well as the common sense use of the language makes the learning fun. In addition to assisting me in learning Portuguese, she is also teaching my wife and my 7 year old son. Her ability to work with a student, whether older or younger is outstanding. I strongly recommend Adrianna to anyone wanting to learn the language. Joe M. from Delray

 

• It is one of the best Portuguese classes that I have attended. Others I went seemed to spend too much time learning basics that you already know (numbers, colors and months). I have attended several college level classes and this has been the closest to them while going more than just a semester. The instructor teaches at a higher level while always providing individual help. She covers realistic dialog and conversations while also addressing proper grammar and tense. The class helped me a lot on my last trip to Brasil. A good way to spend a Saturday morning. Rob E. from Boyton Beach

 

• "Otima. A Melhor!" -Adriana is a born teacher. She makes the learning process a lot of fun. Maureen from Boynton Beach

 

• Her classes teach real conversation. You will learn how to have a conversation in Portuguese. She is always encouraging, even if you make the same mistake many times. She makes each class challenging and fun. Gabe Tucker from Parkland

 

• It is without hesitation that my wife and I recommend Adriana as a Portuguese teacher. Not having had any exposure to Portuguese, Adriana has provided invaluable training in an orderly and fun way. She has not only introduced us to the language but the culture, as well. The “field trip” to the Brazilian restaurant was a great way to add practical experience to the lessons. Within a short period of time, we were able to know some basic phrases supported by the proper grammar. Adriana has used this foundation to expand our learning. We feel confident that with practice and hard work, we are on our way to being able to effectively communicate in Portuguese.All we can say is “Puxa! Multo Obrigado Adriana” C and JJM&A Group

 

• She is a Passionate Professor of the Portuguese language, sharing with her students and communities. Giving students the opportunity to learn and explorer the diversities of Brazil. She has a terrific rapport with people and her students. Her ability to connect with her students and her talent at teaching comprehensible concepts, as well as more advanced topics, are both truly her superior. She has excellent verbal and written communication skills, very organized, and reliable. Excels over the subject and ability to address the need of her students, Outstanding professional in the field of teaching. Striving for that extra help, reliable to her students and colleagues. Sensitive to the needs of her students and makes appropriate changes in her teaching. What sets her apart from other teachers is her strong grasp of subject matter, her ability to relate to students and her funny, creative style of teaching that makes learning fun. She is an asset for any institution.- Robbie Medina from IT Intelligence Consulting

 

• Adriana, was very patient with me during our initial tutoring session. Itried to cram in back to back 8 hour study sessions, and she was up to thetask. I was very happy with how well organized Adriana was. She has lot ofmaterials to review. We also took some excursions to nearby Brazilianrestaurants and grocery stores which was both a nice break and also a newlearning environment. I am looking forward to working with Adriana again asI pursue my goal of learning Portuguese.
