João

Classes with João are an excellent investment in my Portuguese learning. It's important to me that lessons have a relaxed atmosphere, that the teacher is interesting to talk to, and, as a bonus, has a great sense of humor. I find all of that in João's lessons. I appreciate that in each lesson, I learn something that cannot be learned from books and feel more and more confident speaking in Portuguese. Thank you, João!

Learning Portuguese with Joao is fun! You'll have the chance to speak from the very first lesson since he will engage you in entertaining conversations about all kinds of topics. If you don't like grammar-based lessons nor being spoon-fed, he's the perfect tutor for you. He's kind, patient and makes you laugh... Absolutely recommended!

João is an excellent teacher. I always look forward to my lessons with him. He is very calm and patient and leads the conversation easily, asking questions to help me continue to speak. When I make mistakes (frequently!). He is kind and corrects me gently. It is an easygoing-low pressure lesson but I come away learning a lot and the time flies by. I highly recommend João.

Good focus on conversation, tries to speak only in Portuguese even if the student's level is very low.

Ah, João is so funny; I had a great time and enjoyed the lesson (which is not to be taken for granted.) I can highly recommend him.

Thank you so much for the first lesson! It was great to talk about basic sentence structure and to get so many resources for immersion. Looking forward to working with you again and getting more practice with my pronunciation!
