Excellent Portuguese Tutor!

I have been tutored in European Portuguese by Maria S twice a week this summer and she has been so helpful. As a native speaker of Portuguese, Maria has shared explanations and detailed knowledge that are not covered in the text book and which are invaluable to me in my learning experience. I am confident that I will reach a level of Portuguese that would not have been possible for me had I not been tutored by Maria. I would highly recommend her!

Excellent Teacher!

Maria was great! She is a native European Portuguese speaker which was very important to me. She was very patient and took time to explain the formal and non formal ways in which the Portuguese speak to one another. I feel confident that I will be able to pass my A2 exam working with Maria.

An Experienced Tutor

On the first session Maria presented a plan that is gauged to my learning need to read, write in Portuguese, as well as master grammar and verb tense. Her grasp of Continental European Portuguese is key to professionals adapting to a new working environment. I have used three other methods to achieve proficiency in preparation for a career change and her method appears the most organized and structured.

Maria is the extraordinary tutor who will transform your Portuguese learning experience!

Maria has been my Portuguese tutor for the last three months, and it’s been an incredible experience. My family is from Terceira island in the Açores, and after a recent visit there, I felt inspired to start learning the language. It’s not just about connecting with my relatives; it also helps with my pursuit of dual citizenship. I can’t say enough good things about Maria! Each session revolves around her well-structured workbook. She takes her time, pauses to ask questions, and corrects my pronunciation and grammar mistakes with such patience and kindness—exactly what I need in a tutor. Learning a new language in my mid-30s has its challenges, but Maria truly makes the process feel manageable!

Knowledgeable, friendly, easy to work with tutor

Our first lesson with Maria went very well. She was excellent at communicating what we needed to succeed, she was helpful in explaining to us about the Portuguese language and we even covered lesson 1. Very excited to be working with her.

Good first class

We've just had one class together. Maria was interested in my goals, suggested a dictionary she's had good success with, and helped me get started on pronunciation of Portuguese words.
