Why my Method Works
Traditional language education tries to teach you everything. My method recognizes that you're not starting from zero—you're a skilled professional with limited time and specific goals. By focusing only on the blocks you need, we achieve results faster and with less frustration.
Every block we build is designed for immediate use in your life, career, or international journey. You're not memorizing for a test—you're preparing for real moments that matter.

Not every learner needs the same path. That's why I design personalized strategies, piece by piece, for your exact goals.
Corporate Language Coaching
Strategic language training for organizations in international expansion. I align with your company's objectives to train key people in the communication skills that matter most. Your leaders won't just learn a language, they'll learn how to connect, negotiate, and influence in global contexts.

What My Students Say
Lygia is really personable and prepared for each lesson. She provides materials, excellent lessons, and homework assignments to practice outside of lessons. With her help, my Portuguese improved drastically. I 100% recommend taking a lesson with Lygia!

Crash Course and then Personal Development
Lygia is so sociable, bubbly, patient and helpful. Her classes are fun and engaging and I learn so much with each lesson. She also gives me homework and resources to look at after each lesson to reinforce what I learned. Additionally, she teaches through Portuguese which helps me to pick up on new words and phrases quickly and get used to listening to the language. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn Portuguese or Spanish.

Crash Course
Lygia has been great after three lessons. She was more than willing to meet me where I am at with my Portuguese learning and consistently asks for input on specific things that I want to cover. She is very knowledgeable about the linguistics side of things and because she is fluent in portuguese, spanish and english has been able to effectively relate all three to help me understand topics better. She is personable and has graciously been flexible with schedule when she was able. I highly recommend taking classes with Lygia!
