Thank you so much - I had a very good experience I want to share! Adam I highly recommend Ananda as a language and music teacher. I am at an intermediate Brazilian Portuguese level and (sadly) an enthusiastic perpetual beginner at guitar given a lack of necessary intrinsic ability. She excelled teaching both for the daily 3 hour lessons I had over 3 weeks. Portuguese instruction: Ananda was not dogmatic and met me where I was. She was able to personalize all our lessons. She used current tools of language acquisition - with much spontaneous and directed conversation using comprehensible input. However, she supplemented this with reading aloud together with translation of texts including geography, poetry and other prose. Ananda also drilled me in grammar when she saw this was necessary, even when it meant revision of shaky basics. All of this was with great humor and tolerance to my infelicities. We also went on fun outings, making use of the markets and parks in Porto to improve my working knowledge of Portuguese. Music instruction: Ananda also worked with me on my guitar playing.

Marie is an excellent teacher. Her attention to detail, correcting mistakes and noticing areas where one needs improvement makes her very effective yet also giving lots of positive reinforcement to make learning a pleasure. She fills the lessons with insider anecdotes of French life and she in generous in providing and correcting homework - if one wants it! Reliable and flexible. Highly recommended!

Saro was flexible and set up time in a cafe to meet with my son and spend time with him. He was pleasant and friendly and took the time to both play to assess and than tailored his coaching. My son learned a lot from him and looks forward to being able to connect virtually in the future. We’d book with Saro again!
