Edite is the best!
Justin, 59 lessons with EditeI have been taking weekly French lessons with Edite for 4 months, and I couldn't be happier. She always shows up on time with a fabulous attitude, and she makes our lessons something to look forward to. Even though I'm not a very good student, I've gone from speaking hardly any French to being able to read and converse at a basic level. And I've had fun doing it.

Wonderful tutor!
Edite is working with both of my boys (7th and 9th grade). She is a very knowledgeable and patient. Both boys love working with her. Their confidence is growing in Spanish. She has a thorough understanding of their needs. We are very grateful for her help and instruction.

Passionate Language Lover and Teacher
I loved being able to converse in French with her. She was patient with my “broken French” and refreshed my mind with forgotten vocabulary words and grammar! I’m so excited to continue my sessions with her!

Edite is a fabulous teacher.
Edite is a very thoughtful, professional and knowledgeable. Makes class fun and time flies as she teaches me Portuguese. The textbooks assigned are full of the basics and Edite makes sure by the end of the lesson the subject matter is well rounded.

Very Professional
Edite is teaching me to speak the Portuguese language. I learn in a unique way, thus requiring from Edite the patience and tactics to meet my specific needs. As a tutor, she masters this challenge with grace and dignity, while contemporaneously keeping the sessions enjoyable. I could not have asked for a better human being to teach me. Muito Obrigado Edite! (Thank you very much, Edite!)
Steve, 38 lessons with EditeTutor responded:Muito obrigada Steve, for giving me this opportunity to work with you! I adjust my teaching to each student’s needs and pace. I also like challenges, and you provide me with quite a few. Thanks for getting me into analyzing Luís de Camões’ unique writing style - very interesting!
Amazing teacher!
Edite has been tutoring my daughter in Portuguese for nearly a year. Jennifer’s love of the language, and her skill, have both grown tremendously under Edite’s tutoring. She makes the 90-minute lessons engaging and fun - one of the highlights of my high-schooler’s week.
Steve, 78 lessons with EditeTutor responded:Muito obrigada pelas suas palavras tão amáveis! It has been an absolute pleasure working with Jennifer! She works hard with a delightful attitude, always eager to learn more about the roots and history of the words. She is a very special, talented young lady, a natural at language learning, and she should definitely take full advantage of it. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to serve your family!
Knowledgeable and patient tutor
Edite is a very patient tutor. Edite finds out first the background of the student and adapts the class to the student's background. This makes the class more productive and enjoyable.
