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!

The lesson with Ricardo was great! He has a structured methodology! He also gave me homework and preparation material for the next lesson. I enjoyed it a lot, definitive recommendation!

I think he did a great job

Ricardo has been so helpful during my learning process. The content he brings to the classes and how hard he works to make things simpler for me has been great. He not only is teaching me Portuguese but also has giving me helpful tips on how to learn more effectively. This has helped my retention of the language.
