Jefferson Gomes

I really enjoy my lessons with Jefferson! He’s patient and helps me over the difficult parts of verb conjugation and remembering words that I almost know how to say 😁. When I selected him as a teacher, I explained that I really needed practice speaking. He engages me every lesson with topics that I really enjoy talking about. This has helped me immensely. Beyond speaking, he gives me creative homework that reinforces verb conjugation and vocabulary building, including slang. I would recommend Jefferson to anyone that is looking for a teacher that facilitates conversation, encourages the student to speak and listen and has a teaching style that makes the student feel comfortable.

Jefferson is truly and incredible teacher! I recently completed my 100th lesson with him and feel so grateful for his expertise and patience. I meet with him 3 times a week and always find myself smiling after the lessons because he finds a way to make learning a new language fun! He’s brilliant as a professor, creative in his materials, and always happy to adjust to my season of life. I can’t recommend him enough. Obrigada, Jefferson!!

Ele ensina atencioso na aula toda, e explica o que eu preciso saber mais. Sempre dá lição de casa e corrige ela com clareza.

I have been taking lessons for quite some time with Jefferson, and I can say that he is an excellent teacher; as well as a kind and genuine human being. His approach as a teacher, that is to say, the methods, and materials that he uses, are carefully selected in accordance to your needs as student, regardless of the level of understanding you already might have in the language. In addition, he is a good listener, one who is willing to collaborate with the learner to bring out the student's interests and precise needs. Accordingly, he will integrate these particular needs and interests that the student has into his lessons, thereby making each lesson with Jefferson all the more enriching. I know I will continue to rely on Jefferson as a cornerstone teacher and guide in my Portuguese learning journey.

Really love Jefferson’s class! We speak Portuguese the whole time while we are in the lesson. This was from the beginning!

Jefferson is an excellent Brazilian Portuguese teacher. He is knowledgeable, patient, and informative, with a dynamic teaching style that encourages you to speak and uses software in a way that is well suited to online learning. Thanks to Jefferson, my Portuguese has come on considerably over the past few months.
