Marta Coelho

I’ve had over one year of classes with Marta and I’ve already exceeded the level of conversational Portuguese I’d hoped to attain thanks to our classes. Marta is truly a professional instructor and provides excellent grammar guidance and cultural insights. Most classes end with a sore face from smiling so much. Take a class with Marta, you’ll thank yourself for it a year from now.

Lessons with Marta are always very enjoyable. One of my favourite moments of the week! Muito obrigada. 🌷

Excellent as always

Every lesson with Marta is energizing! She weaves together current events, seasonal topics, and personal interests while seamlessly incorporating themes and verbs from previous lessons. Her accent is remarkably clear - so articulate that you can almost visualize each word as she speaks. Marta's engaging teaching style makes learning feel natural and conversational rather than rigid or academic. I would highly recommend her to anyone serious about mastering European Portuguese.

This was such a fun class. Honestly, it was great! We talked about the lyrics of a song and learned the expressions that go with them whilst chatting about Portuguese culture along the way. She also somehow managed to tie it to my life and activities. Can't wait to have more lessons with Marta. Very creative teacher.

From the beginning, Marta coached me just enough that I could stumble about in my limited Portuguese and have the experience of having a complete conversation. She would stop and provide prompts for correcting verb tense and vocabulary, but not so much that it interfered with the story. I'm very excited to be undertaking these lessons and know it will help me have these kinds of conversations with my Portuguese friends and community.
