"The best there is!"

​

Neide is a passionate and engaging teacher of Brazilian Portuguese. She is enthusiastic about her native language and country and that enthusiasm quickly becomes contagious. Nothing else can prepare a new traveler to Brazil than a few months of classes with Neide. Of all the different methods of learning Portuguese I have tried nothing compares to her classes.

"Such a Great Experience and Perfect for All Levels"

​

I went on a trip to Brazil 4 years ago and when I got back, I was in love with the language and had to learn it. I did a google search for Brazilian Portuguese teachers and Denver and Neide’s name was the first to pop up. I decided to set up a class and have not been disappointed yet.
Neide is a fantastic teacher and she works with all levels. I started out not speaking but five words in Portuguese and now I can speak and understand full conversations.
Neide likes to introduce her students to the Brazilian culture by providing access to Brazilian movies and music. She also has her students pick up stuff when they are in Brazil to bring back and hand out to her students. She has great learning materials (workbooks, dictionaries, audio aids, etc). She matches up students of the same level to get together and speak Portuguese outside of class time to keep up with the speaking skills. This was a nice bonus for me. I liked having someone else to talk to who shares the same passion for the language that I do.
Neide is a very generous and patient woman and I always feel comfortable speaking with her in Portuguese (which initially was very scary to me). I highly suggest Neide as your local Portuguese teacher. I love her so much! Not only is she a great teacher but she is also a great friend.
