    I had the pleasure of taking Portuguese lessons from Sao for 3 years while working on a rotational basis in Angola. She helped immeasurably in my understanding and usage of the language. With her help I was able to converse and conduct interviews and business entirely in Portuguese. She is a wonderful person and instructor and I am grateful for her help and instruction.

    Sao was a great teacher for our office! We had several classes per week in our office for different levels of ability. Sao was able to evaluate each person and find a way to teach at each persons ability and make it fun for the groups. I recommend her for anybody with a reason to learn Portuguese. I will bring her back to the office and do more lessons as soon as we can.

    The best Portuguese tutor. Sao creates a class that is dynamic and fun, and she varies each lesson so that you spend time speaking, reading, working on grammar, and your accent. I have studied with Sao for three years and plan to keep it up. She's reasonably priced, funny, and a great teacher. Highly recommend.
