Start Your Private Portuguese Course.

Our Portuguese Private Intensive Course is designed for those eager to learn quickly. It is structured for fast-paced learning and balances all four essential components: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. We utilize the Communicative Method to immerse students in practical language use.

Flexibility is key; our Portuguese private courses can start any week, allowing students to choose between one-on-one sessions or small closed groups (couples, friends, family, etc.). The intensive format enables students to have as many weekly hours as they want to accelerate their progress.

Additionally, course packages include weekly social and cultural activities, enhancing the overall experience. At the end of the course, students receive a final certificate.

"Good intermediate classes, solid intensive course."

Jeremy Ellison

Prior to moving to portugal, in 2022, I took a two week intensive course here. This class helped me with the basics of Portuguese, and set me up for success. I resumed studying for a few months, and the intermediate classes, twice a week, are at a nice pace for ongoing learning, and not too intensive.

"Careful teachers"

Katalin Varro

I had 2 teachers here, native speakers with good English, prepared for the classes, listened to my needs. Tiago and Catarina are the best so far. I've been learning Portuguese for 9 years and had some teachers on the way but not this easygoing in a good way but professional. Online classes. Obrigada
