Jefferson Gomes

I have been taking Portuguese lessons with Jefferson for several months now. I can't recommend him enough. I started lessons with him with 0 confidence to talk in Portuguese, and now I am able to have a full conversation in Portuguese! Not only did he help me get out of my comfort zone to help me speak, but he also provided enough material and support to build a strong base. Obrigada Jefferson !

I have been taking lessons for quite some time with Jefferson, and I can say that he is an excellent teacher; as well as a kind and genuine human being. His approach as a teacher, that is to say, the methods, and materials that he uses, are carefully selected in accordance to your needs as student, regardless of the level of understanding you already might have in the language. In addition, he is a good listener, one who is willing to collaborate with the learner to bring out the student's interests and precise needs. Accordingly, he will integrate these particular needs and interests that the student has into his lessons, thereby making each lesson with Jefferson all the more enriching. I know I will continue to rely on Jefferson as a cornerstone teacher and guide in my Portuguese learning journey.

Jefferson is truly and incredible teacher! I recently completed my 100th lesson with him and feel so grateful for his expertise and patience. I meet with him 3 times a week and always find myself smiling after the lessons because he finds a way to make learning a new language fun! He’s brilliant as a professor, creative in his materials, and always happy to adjust to my season of life. I can’t recommend him enough. Obrigada, Jefferson!!

Un profesor atento y proactivo. Me hizo sentir mucho más cómoda con mis dificultades de pronunciación.

I finished my first series of lessons with Jefferson and it was great! He is very professional and helpful, he always prepares tailor-made lessons, he corrects me when needed (often ;-)) and he is very clear in his explanations. I have already improved a lot and we are following an effective path that will certainly be successful!

I have enjoyed tremendously working with Jefferson. He is very qualified and professional in his approach and knowledge and provides the necessary learning materials so that the student doesn't have to guess what materials should he/she use. Also, with him you can learn to speak like a true Carioca, which is one of my main learning goals.
