Testimonial
"I am so excited that Maíra decided to create a learning platform for non-Portuguese-speaking singers like me!!! I’m still thrilled with our diction lessons and so blessed to have her as a tutor!
Her love for people and her joy in teaching made me feel so receptive to practicing the pronunciation! And our friendship grew so much, motivating me to really try to PERFECT the language to please my “Sister”!
I hope her online services will not be too much for her to handle, after everyone finds out what a treasure she truly is!"
