Alyson Andrade 🇧🇷

I could not ask for a better Portuguese teacher! After each lesson with Alyson, I feel encouraged and motivated to continue studying Portuguese. He structures his lessons very effectively. Each lesson, I gain a lot about practical vocabulary, pronunciation tips, and cultural information. Alyson is very good at explaining more difficult topics in the language. He is also a very warm person. After a few lessons with Alyson, I already feel more confident speaking Portuguese, especially because Alyson has helped me improve my pronunciation and accent. Whether you're a beginner or advanced speaker of Portuguese, I highly recommend Alyson!

Les leçons avec Alyson sont un vrai plaisir ! Le cours est toujours structuré et bien préparé, le tout dans une ambiance super positive, encourageante et aussi divertissante !

On the personal level, Alyson is really really friendly, has amazing vibes, good energies, and fun to talk with! Professionally, his explanations were very detailed and clear, while paying attention to the subtleties and making sure you get them clearly, which is amazing. In addition, he puts emphasis on making the lesson customized to your specific needs. I really recommend to anybody that wants a fun learning experience.

I strongly encourage any student to take lessons with Alyson. He provides detailed feedback and personalizes each lesson. Alyson also covers differences in vocabulary and grammar in Brazil v Portugal, which is so helpful because I’ll be traveling to both countries. Relatedly, we’ve covered different regional accents to help train my ear to understand Portuguese in various regions. Obrigada, Alyson. Você é um professor maravilhoso 🫡

I’m getting ready for a work trip to Brazil, and I’ve learned so much from Alyson in just three lessons. He is patient and personable. Alyson focuses on proven strategies for memory retention and seamlessly incorporates verbs, topics, and grammar from previous lessons into the current lesson. He provides positive reinforcement and gentle correction. Can’t wait to take more classes with Alyson.

I had my first Portuguese lesson with Alyson today, and he was so organized, playful, and patient. He showed a genuine curiosity for how certain vocabulary we were learning related to me, and when practicing applying the words, he gently corrected my pronunciation. He provides all resources after the class, so I can practice more on my own. I really appreciate this level of attention to detail. I’m looking forward to working with Alyson more in the future.
