Lessons with Catarina were very engaging. I like her approach to teaching; she is very focused, and able to quickly adapt the material to the student's needs. Catarina also knows how to explain things in an accessible way. Furthermore, she possesses a vast amount of knowledge, which allows the student to learn not just the language, but also the culture that the language conveys.

Learning Portuguese felt like a daunting task at first, but Catarina completely changed that experience for me. With incredible patience, clarity, and encouragement, she guided me through the fundamentals of the language and helped me build a strong foundation step by step. What truly sets Catarina apart is her ability to make each lesson engaging and practical. She didn’t just teach me grammar and vocabulary—she helped me live the language. Thanks to her tailored approach, I now feel confident navigating conversations, reading signs, and engaging with locals during my first trip to Lisbon. From ordering food in restaurants to asking for directions, I’m not just surviving—I’m thriving! Her deep cultural insights and real-world preparation gave me the tools I needed to feel at home in Portugal. I couldn’t have asked for a better tutor, and I’m genuinely grateful for her support and dedication.

I had a very good first lesson with Catarina!

Catarina explained how she runs lessons well, also giving context into why Portuguese say things in a certain way with historical references, which was interesting

Me ha encantado como plantea las clases Caterina. Clase bien estructurada pero fluida y creo que ha percibido muy bien en una lección cuales son mis necesidades como estudiante. Creo que su metodología tiene la proporción perfecta de entretenimiento, conversación, "trucos" d gramática y pronunciación y anotaciones útiles para después

Instructor was highly knowledgeable and has great material
