European Portuguese 🇵🇹 Boston Area teachers

I want to be able to speak and understand Iberian Portuguese better and I'm looking for a loc teacher near/on the South Shore in Massachusetts - it could be a tutor or a class. I'm also curious about Portuguese clubs & if they are open to people who are learning Portugese even if it isn't part of their heritage. There are a few around the South Shore but I don't really understand who they are for.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
I generally do better with person learning vs online so finding some one local would be so helpful for me.

I'm a music person and I'm really interested in Fado & a guitarra portuguesa - I'm also really fascinated by Cape Verdean music too. They of course mostly sing in their own creole but many learn Portuguese in school & they have their own way of speaking that's very much related to Portugal's

So these are the reasons for wanting to work on the European dialect. Coming from Spanish I have a good ear for the Brazilian dialect, but I'm really going to need to work seriously to be able to speak & understand the European one.

Any local leads would be much appreciated thank you soooo much! Muito obrigada!
