I’ve been taking Brazilian Portuguese classes with Professor Jefferson for a few months now, and it’s been an amazing experience. Jefferson is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and skilled at making complex topics easy to understand. His teaching style is engaging and interactive, which makes learning enjoyable. He provides excellent exercises and feedback after finishing them, helping me improve my language skills effectively. I highly recommend Jefferson to anyone looking to learn or improve their Portuguese.

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!!

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.
