Gabriele é uma boa professora porque também é fluente em espanhol. Consegui dominar o português em poucos meses, já que ela é especialista em usar o espanhol para ensinar português a falantes de espanhol.

Ich kann meinen Lehrer nur wärmstens empfehlen! Er geht sehr strategisch vor: Jede Stunde ist klar strukturiert und baut sinnvoll auf der vorherigen auf, sodass ich meine Fortschritte wirklich spüre. Er erkennt schnell, wo meine Schwächen liegen, und arbeitet gezielt daran, ohne dass es je trocken wird. Er erklärt Grammatik und Vokabeln unglaublich verständlich, oft mit anschaulichen Beispielen, die hängen bleiben. Dabei ist er immer geduldig, auch wenn ich zum dritten Mal dieselbe Frage stelle oder mit der Aussprache kämpfe. 😅 Was die Stunden besonders macht: Er ist sehr kommunikativ und hat einen tollen Humor. Wir lachen viel, und dadurch fühlt sich Sprechen viel entspannter an. Außerdem ist er sehr hilfsbereit und gibt mir auch für außerhalb der Stunden gerne Tipps und Material. Kurz gesagt: kompetent, herzlich und motivierend. Ich freue mich jedes Mal auf die nächste Stunde! Muito obrigado! 🙏

Bruno is the best, don’t hesitate to book. He has a great way of teaching and explaining things in a thorough way. I’m glad I met him, he’s brought me to a level where I feel very confident speaking conversationally in all settings. Recommend 100 percent.

Camila es una profesora con experiencia que te hace sentir cómodo en la lección de portugués desde el primer minuto. Mi primera clase con ella ha sido muy satisfactoria ya que he podido conocer la estructura del exámen CELPE BRAS y hemos comenzado la preparación de la prueba juntos. Puedo confirmar que Camila también provee material de convocatorias anteriores del exámen y que sabe perfectamente como se evalúa lo que es tremendamente útil para que alumnos como yo puedan alcanzar la mejor nota posible. ¡La recomiendo a cualquier estudiante de portugués! Estoy completamente convencido de que gracias al trabajo de que hemos iniciado voy a conseguir un gran resultado en el exámen. Gracias Camila.

I've had almost 150 lessons with Cynthia over the last year and a half, and have nothing but good things to say about her. I wanted a heavy dose of conversation practice with each lesson, and that's what I've been getting. Most importantly, my speaking and comprehension have dramatically improved. She gets much of the credit for that improvement. She's pushed me from a rusty B1 to a solid B2, and I'm hoping to get even better going forward.

Best teacher ever! I am 36 learning Portuguese because my wife is from Brazil. Ricardo is patient and easy to get along with - I would consider him a friend now. He teaches at my learning pace. Since I have a full-time job, the pace is slower at only one 60 minute lesson per week. However, if you want to learn quickly, because you need to for work or you are moving, he can also set a more aggressive curriculum. He is very forgiving with reschedules, even if they are last minute (I still always pay him). I have been taking classes with him for over a year and will continue to for many years until I am fluent as we will eventually move to Brazil for retirement. I feel I am making good progress. If you are searching for an English or Portuguese (or any language that Ricardo speaks) teacher then look no further - this is your guy.

Milena é uma excelente professora! Adoro nossas aulas de conversação. Conversamos sobre temas profundos relacionados à cultura e, dessa forma, através da língua, consigo compreender cada vez mais a cultura brasileira. Ela domina muito bem o espanhol, o que também é um grande diferencial. Muitas vezes, ela explica e chama a minha atenção para as interferências do espanhol no meu português, o que me ajuda a tornar o meu português cada vez mais natural. Também gosto muito do fato de que, depois da aula, recebo um resumo detalhado, muitas recomendações de filmes do cinema brasileiro e atividades criativas!

I’ve just started working with Ana, doing two to three lessons a week, and I couldn’t be happier with choosing her as my teacher! Ana comes into every lesson with happy, positive energy that makes the learning process engaging and fun. She also creates an environment where making mistakes is always treated as an opportunity to learn and never as a bad thing. I came into these lessons speaking workable Portuguese, having lived in both Brazil and Portugal, but my level was still very basic. Within just one month of working with Ana, I’ve noticeably improved my ability to move between tenses, use a wider range of vocabulary, and talk about significantly more complex topics than I expected to be able to discuss this year! I’m going to be working with Ana for the foreseeable future, and if you’re looking for a teacher yourself, I’d highly recommend giving her a shot!

Daniel is an excellent teacher. I have thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with him. I am always learning something new. I am at a conversational level in Portuguese and we have great conversations on a variety of topics. He is affirming of where I am at in my language learning, but also corrective when needed. He is everything you would want your teacher to be - knowledgeable, patient, kind, and fun! I highly recommend learning from him.

After almost 30 lessons with Joana I can say with confidence that Joana is a phenomenal teacher. Her English is great so communication is very easy. I feel very comfortable speaking, expressing myself and making mistakes, she creates a very positive environment for teaching. She is intelligent, patient, calm and overall a great person. Each time I look forward to my lesson knowing I will learn something new and be in good company. Obrigado Joana, 10/10 recommend.
