I love working with students on their individual language journey. I can customize your lessons for your unique learning style. Reading and comprehension are the building blocks of all learning. It is my joy to help you build a solid foundation in using English.

Hello there! My name is Marcelo, I am from São Paulo, Brazil, and have taught languages since 2000. I started teaching Spanish at companies in Brazil, and then in 2004, I moved to Chicago. There I started teaching Spanish but soon more and more students requested Portuguese classes. Two years later I opened a language school dedicated entirely to Portuguese.

We offer snacks during resting moments, provide real life experiences to connect to the student and help them better understand the subject matter with visual stimulation. We also like to bring more Spanish speaking skills to children in low income areas and give one on one attention to those struggling with English concepts.

My name is Eslavia Garza. In 1982, I earned my first educator certificate in the area of early childhood and started teaching in Mexico City.
