I thoroughly enjoy my lessons with Deise. She is knowledgeable, patient and very helpful. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn or improve their Portuguese.

Deise is very methodical and works very hard in preparing the material for every Portuguese class. She is very patient when it comes to explaining concepts that are difficult to grasp and provides numerous examples of tense and gender forms. I am learning a lot and would strongly recommend her to anyone that has to learn Portuguese in a relatively short time frame as I do.

Deise has conducted classes for me via Skype, which I've found very helpful and great for my busy schedule. Her virtual approach is very unique, and she's done an excellent job at making sure the quality of classes aren't diminished. As a teacher, Deise is very flexible and thorough. She's been able to personalize her classes to my needs and skill level. I definitely recommend her as a tutor!

David R. from Dallas, TX

She has patience and will help you understand more than the language-giving you a feel for how things work in her native Brazil, specifically southern Brazil. Very interesting and informative.

Andrew O. from Dallas, TX

Great for students of all skill levels. Deise did an excellent job evaluating my current skill level and catered her lessons appropriately. Highly recommend.

Kristin R. from Dallas, TX

Deise is an excellent tutor, well-organized and personally invested in your success. She is also a very pleasant and funny person, and she works hard to work around her students' schedules.

I am so glad to have found Deise! I have taken her Portuguese classes for a few months now and have just recently taken a cooking class from her. I have so much more confidence and understand so much of the language now! She works hard to tailor the classes to my learning style and they are the highlight of my week. Her heart is all in teaching Portuguese and it will really show in how much you learn! Try her cooking class too- she's a brilliant self-taught cook and I have some impressive Brazilian culinary skills now thanks to Deise! I'm beyond satisfied to have studied with her.

Deise - thanks for all your help prepping for my Brazil trip. Your lessons were tailored to my situation and very relevant to the current culture and daily happenings. I appreciated your flexibility with lessons and going the extra mile for me! Highly recommend for anyone needing a crash course or refresher in Portuguese for business.

Nicole C. from Denton, TX

Deise is very willing to work with your schedule. She makes class worthwhile with her fun attitude and willingness to help you learn. She always includes cultural aspects in with the language tutoring which I think helps a student learn easier. I highly recommend Deise!

Prem N. from Dallas, TX

Deise is a great teacher. She is professional, organized, and easy to reach. Further, she goes the extra mile by understanding individual needs and tailoring her lesson plan based on those. Rather than teaching concepts you can simply learn from a language book, Deise constructs her classes around real, evolving Brazilian Portuguese, which makes what you learn current with regard to how the language is spoken TODAY.

Glen M. from Dallas, TX

It has been great working with Deise. She has structured her teaching around my specific needs and I can already see the improvement in my Portuguese after only a few classes. I highly recommend Deise to anyone interested in the Portuguese-Brazilian language.

Andrea J. from Dallas, TX

Deise is a wonderful and effective teacher - she puts time into preparing each lesson to create scenarios that are relevant to me and my travels in Brazil. I knew a little Portuguese before taking classes with her, but she explains things in a way that makes it fun and easy to remember. She also talks about the differences between what you might hear in Rio, Sao Paulo or the South. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Brazilian Portuguese or to practice and perfect what they already know. I'm ready for my trip to Sao Paulo and can't wait to practice what I've learned. I will miss our weekly classes. Thank you, Deise!

Quentin W. from Euless, TX

Deise is a great Portuguese tutor and did a fantastic job preparing me in a short amount of time for a trip to Brasil. She was always prompt and on-time and I found her to be very well organized with every lesson. I was also very surprised at the time she put in between classes to prepare customized lesson plans that were a good fit for my language goals. Additionally, Deise's native instruction prepared me well for my trip by giving me useful slang and idiomatic expressions that I heard and used frequently. I would highly recommend Deise as professional and effective instructor.
