Tutor Bio
"Oi, Vamos aprender Português?
My name is Sandy Long. I have always been fascinated with languages. Have you noticed that languages are alive? I was born and raised in Belem, Brazil - The heart of the Amazon, where I pursued a Bachelor's in Architecture when I moved to the USA. I have a lot of experience teaching English as a Second Language, and now I am very excited to teach my own language - Portuguese - as a Second Language. I love how languages are alive and how people, culture, media, and so many other aspects of life can influence it. I am ready to help you become a Portuguese speaker!
