Thiago Alencar

I've spoken with Thiago for about a year now, and I, as a Middlebury Language School Alum with ˜˜C2 proficiency, can confidently state that he is a top-tier language teacher. You do not need to look elsewhere to learn Brazilian Portuguese. He consistently tests the limits of your Portuguese proficiency, both in terms of grammar and comprehension, in a way that provides continual progress in the language. He is someone who is dedicated to language education and committed to his country. Both of these are essential to grasp the true complexity of a language as rich as Portuguese (BR) and its culture. If you are serious about improving your Portuguese, start taking classes with Thiago. You will advance quicker than in any traditional classroom setting, and the work you do won't feel like 'work'. Don't complicate things, study with Thiago!

Thiago is one of the best teachers I've ever had. Really hard working and committed to helping his students learn and get better. You can feel this when working with him and it's very motivating.

It's a privilege and honor to learn Portuguese from Thiago. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity :) :) :)

O Thiago é muito mais do que um simples professor de português. Ele é um cara esperto, curioso e com uma grande paixão pelo ensino da sua língua. Quando eu falo com ele, sinto que ele realmente está presente e atento, sinto que ele realmente gosta de estar ali falando comigo, porque ensinar português é a sua vocação, e não apenas um trabalho.

Eu tenho aprendido português com Thiago por 3 meses. Meu português tá melhorando muito com ele. Nossas aulas são uma mistura de conversas e gramática. Sua maneira de ensinar é ótima. Recomendo muito as aulas dele.

Ótima aula!
