Maria Schmauser

Maria is a very warm and welcoming person who creates a safe and comfortable space to practise. She really encourages you to speak in a fun way. She also shares bits of knowledge about Portuguese culture and more colloquial phrases used in everday Portuguese. Highly recommend taking classes with her!

Uma profesora incrível! I would recommend Maria to anyone learning portuguese, the lesson was engaging and I had plenty of opportunities to speak, Obrigado Maria!

Como as últimas aulas foi um grande prazer conversar com Maria.

Amazing lesson with Maria! We have a very interesting conversation and a nice introduction for our next lessons, Maria nicely supports and motivates to talk, explains the details carefully and keeps the lesson in a very friendly and easygoing way. I really enjoyed our conversation :) Thank you Maria and looking forward to our next one!

good teacher

What an enjoyable lesson with Maria! She is patient and encouraging and asked questions to get me talking more. I like how the focus was on speaking--she gave little grammar tips here and there, but mostly she allowed me to talk. It was fun interacting with her, and it felt great to be speaking in Portuguese about engaging subjects.
