About
Hi there! I'm Vanessa, a native of Brazil and a skilled teacher of Portuguese and English as a foreign language. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Languages and Literature from the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul and a Master's in Bilingual Education from UMass Amherst.In addition to teaching, I'm also a singer and songwriter, and I love helping kids learn to sing and play the guitar in a fun and engaging way.
When it comes to teaching, my focus is always on my students' individual needs and desires. Let me know what you hope to accomplish, and I'll design classes that are tailored to your goals. Whether you're interested in cultural immersion or in mastering the intricacies of Portuguese grammar, we'll have a great time learning together!
All of my Portuguese classes are conducted online through platforms like Zoom and Meet, so you can join in from the comfort of your own home. And if you're interested in learning to sing or play the guitar, I offer both online and in-person lessons in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Our nine-year-old son, who is already proficient in speaking Portuguese, is currently learning how to read and write the language with Vanessa's guidance. As his teacher, Vanessa has shown immense patience and care, making her an excellent educator. We highly recommend her.

Vanessa is an outstanding teacher of Portuguese who exhibits punctuality and comes well-prepared for every lesson. She possesses excellent skills in tailoring the lessons to cater to my specific requirements and adeptly employs screen sharing and learning aids to make online sessions as convenient as face-to-face ones. Undoubtedly, she is a consummate professional.

For the last two months, my kids (11 and 14) have been receiving Portuguese lessons from Vanessa. She is an exceptional teacher, exhibiting a high level of professionalism, preparation, and the ability to assess each child's needs and customize lessons to suit them. We sourced Vanessa from CrackerJack and she promptly responded to our inquiry, showing adaptability in scheduling convenient lesson times. Her punctuality has been impeccable for every lesson. The children eagerly await each lesson with enthusiasm, warmed by Vanessa's friendliness and knowledge of bilingualism. We intend to continue with Vanessa's weekly lessons and highly endorse her services to others.
