Prof. Catarina was very patient, kind and engaging with all doubts and queries.
I never felt uncomfortable or "less than" with the conversation. The concept of "Conjuntivo" which had plagued me for over a year was very lucidly explained.
Can't thank her enough!

Catarina is a fantastic teacher! She took the time to understand my goals and to establish my current level of Portuguese.
Catarina was happy to answer any questions I had and she took the time to provide clear and concise answers and explanation.
The lesson was well structured and a clear plan was established.
I have already booked in for my second lesson.
I can’t recommend Catarina enough!
