"After the first few weeks of lessons, I remember Marta was able to tell me—albeit in simple terms—about her Brazilian identity, and she even gave me some local restaurant recommendations for her favorite Brazilian cuisine! She was excited to talk to me using what she had learned, and as a tutor, there is nothing more meaningful than that." -- Jake Lattanzi, tutor alum and chapter leader, Tufts University
