Ricardo Filgueira

Ricardo class is very good. He knows all the details about portugues grammar, vocabulary and expressions, and is very good at transmiting that knowledge.

After spending the last 2 years across the platform learning Spanish and recently starting Portuguese, having tried out around 50 tutors. I can honestly say Ricardos methods are great and I would recommend him to anyone starting out learning Portuguese. Excited to continue my journey with him.

I started lessons with Ricardo two months ago as a complete beginner and it has been great. His lessons are very interactive and multi-faceted (grammar, vocab, oral comprehension, “real life” vs. formal Portuguese, pronunciation tips, PDF material/lessons and audio recordings via e-mail) and there are a lot of opportunities to practice during the lesson. He also explains really well the small nuances in pronunciation– for me, this was one of the most intimidating parts of learning Portuguese, but now I feel comfortable with reading (slowly) and when listening, I can decipher how a word might be spelled, which helps a lot with comprehension. Ricardo obviously has a lot of experience and passion for teaching, and I’m really impressed with the course and with the fact that he seems to constantly be updating and creating material. Thanks Ricardo!

Ricardo me deu de novo boas dicas em relação a produzir textos em português e nos falamos sobre o mundo do arte - uma conversa bem interessante e outra aula de muito valor.

Sempre fico impressionado com o profissionalismo e entusiasmo de Ricardo. Suas correções e recomendações sempre são claros, sábios e bem formados. Embora eu faça erros fundamentais, ele me da o ânimo para continuar nos meus estudos. Mais uma vez, obrigado Professor Ricardo!
