Language Lessons in Suitland, MD. It's your time.

Hi, my name is Li. Being a native speaker of Chinese, I received my doctorate in Education. Such background of mine can help you enhance your language learning experience by helping you identify how you learn a language interestingly, effectively and efficiently.

I can help you with pronunciation and reading, I also use English as source to make you better understand this awesome language, I make it fun to learn and I only focus on what you will need to learn to save time and effort.

I am a Brazilian Portuguese tutor offering one-on-one or group classes in DC and Northern VA area. I'm a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil and have been living in DC area for the last 15 years. I am fluent in English and Spanish. I have a Brazilian law degree and have taught grammar to native speakers in Sao Paulo. For the last 14 years, I have taught English speakers Portuguese. I specialize in grammar, reading, writing, and/or conversation depending on the pupil's needs. I provide excellent references from former and current students.
Classes are one-on-one and I have the materials and textbooks available to aid learning of the language. I also provide students with homework and give them various article of interest in Brazilian publications. We will meet in libraries, coffee shops, or other convenient public places.

Learning a new language is uneasy and it definitely takes time but it is also definitely possible. I have had opportunities to work with a lot of students who have different learning purpose and all of them have put a lot of work and I believe their Vietnamese families and friends do appreciate their efforts and being able to communicate in Vietnamese is helping them get closer to each other. I am here to work with you on that journey. Thank you for being interested in our language, our country, our people and our culture :)

In my lessons I tend to take a light hearted approach, there is no reason for everything to be grinding teeth to dust. No one learns that way, that's why a lot of people feel ESL is hard. I believe that we'll have fun in class and if you can meet me half way, you will be amazing in your ESL studys

As an experienced Mandarin teacher, I look to break down each component of the language into its most simple parts, so that the student can best understand all aspects of, what can be, a very challenging language.
