Vitória Marques

When I finally decided to learn Portuguese, I was so fortunate to find Vitória Marques! I have looked forward to my classes with her every week for more than 3 years! As a language teacher myself, I recognize her excellence in teaching-- the delicate balance of listening and speaking. Of course I do 99% of the talking, but because she also speaks English, she knows what I'm trying to say even when exact translation may be challenging. If I ask for grammar, she will provide it, but we mostly figure out the grammar in context--which is the whole point of iTalki. Despite the fact that I am old enough to be her grandmother, we talk about everything. She even has me figuring out the lyrics to popular music! I wholeheartedly recommend Vitória to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable, patient, fun, and gracious partner in learning Portuguese. She's the best!

Excellent !! that is the best word to define Vitória and her classes. She is an amazing teacher who thoroughly prepares the classes and finds your weaknesses to focus on them and strike a balance to finally become stronger in your grammar and pronunciation skills. I prepared my B2 exam with her and thanks to her I passed it. After that, we prepared the next step together and only 8 months later I passed my C1 level. He is also an amazing person who gives you enough confidence to believe in yourself and your goals. I highly recommend taking classes with her. Increible profesora, su preocupación por mejorar y por sentirte cómodo en la clase, hacen que aprendas sin darte cuenta y que seas consciente de la gran evolución que consigues en poco tiempo. Esta claro que sin su ayuda jamás hubiese logrado mis metas. Recomiendo sus clases para aprender portugués, no solo para hablarlo y entenderlo, sino por la complejidad de su gramática y su fascinante historia y cultura.

Ótima professora!

I have had a few lessons with Vítoria now and every one has been excellent. She is easy to converse with and always has good materials ready, and she is teaching me a lot of phrases that are used in common situations. Muito obrigado!

Vítoria is a great teacher who emphasizes methods. This should help gain mastery.

The fact that I have been with Vitória for more than 3 years speaks volumes! She is a skilled teacher, but more importantly she is a delight. I look forward to our class every week. She has added to the quality of my life and helped me achieve a lifelong goal to speak Portuguese.
