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!

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.

Very enjoyable lessons, great for speaking practice in a relaxed environment. João does a great job at speaking at the right pace so you understand and asking interesting questions to keep the conversation going

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!

That was a great lesson with João! He is patiently keeping the conversation at a good pace to make sure it’s comfortable and at the same time presenting a good opportunity to speak and improve, making just enough corrections and example to utilize the lesson to the maximum. A pleasant and interesting conversation besides learning the language.

Joao was really helpfull. If I did not know something he spoke slowly or he wrote it. Perfect is, that he never used English, just Portuguese. Because of this it was possible to learn listening skills faster
