José is an awesome teacher. He's very informative and has a lot of material that he has readily available from his experience teaching. He has documents that lay out and explain exactly what I'm trying to work out in my head, which is super helpful. He's also very easy to talk to, so whether the lesson is more conversational or if you have certain questions about the language, José can walk you through it.

Highly recommend Zé as he is not only a patient teacher, but also encouraging and has interesting materials, information and personal anecdotes that he shares during lessons that allow you to learn more about Portugal and about himself as a Portuguese citizen. He offers a healthy balance of speaking and listening, and I like going over our chat notes to reinforce what I learned. He also speaks clearly (at what seems like) his natural pace which is not too fast. I feel comfortable interrupting him to ask him to repeat words or phrases that I did not understand, and he clarifies them on the chat box. He also pays attention to your pronunciation which is so important in learning this difficult language! Obrigada, Zé.

Always high quality time talking and discussing different topics with José. Professional support in terms of vocabulary, grammar and all other aspects of the language with the goal to improve and progress from where you are towards higher level. Absolutely recommend José to anyone as a tutor. Thank you for another great lesson Zé!

Fun, effective, interesting, and very enjoyable lesson. We talked about the regional differences in dialect and accent and I got to learn many expressions. Every time I get to know so many interesting things about the country and language. We solved my doubts in grammar and expression. I receive material to learn more about the things we talked about. Zé is just the best teacher!

El profesor Zé es muy amable. Me agradó mucho su acento del portugués, es muy entendible. También tiene buena actitud; me preguntó de mis objetivos y además me hizo muy agradable la clase, muy entretenida.

Ha sido muy paciente y me he sentido muy tranquila tratándose de la primera clase. Espero avanzar y lograr recuperar vocabulario.
