Let's discover your Portuguese self!

Conversational:

We'll conquer the fear of speaking a new language, master the nuances of pronunciation, and apply our skills in real-life situations.

We'll share laughs over mistakes, discuss our passions (cats? food? existential ponderings?), celebrate progress, and much more.

Catia is such a pro! She has great communicational skills, understood exactly what i needed and knows how to make learning fun. Her classes really feel tailor made, informative and attentive. My Portuguese improved greatly thanks to her. If you're considering her as a teacher, think no longer - she's the one :)

Cátia is amazing! She's a natural, engaged teacher and we look forward to our lessons with her each week. She takes our goals into consideration and tailors the classes to them, and she's also fun to talk with and learn from! She provides a variety of study materials (both written and audio), and is available between lessons for questions. We are so glad to have found her and can't wait to keep learning!

Catia ist eine wundervolle Lehrerin. Sie unterstützt einen zwischen den Stunden mit tollen Audiodateien und ist immer für Fragen erreichbar. Ihre Aussprache ist gut verständlich und mit Ihrer unglaublich geduldigen Art und Ihrer positiven Ausstrahlung macht sie es mir leicht meine Hemmungen portugiesisch zu sprechen zu überwinden. Einfach die beste Lehrerin. Ein wirklicher Gemeimtipp für alle die portugiesisch lernen wollen.

Catia is amazing. She has a positive demeanor and is very patient and kind. She brings her science background into the lessons which helps you understand the approach to her teaching. I always look forward to our lessons!

Eduardo, Spain

Hace muy fácil el aprendizaje, desde la gramática hasta la fonética. Me permite avanzar con seguridad en el idioma y es extremadamente didáctica (y tan paciente como amable). Creo que por fin voy a pasar de leer portugués a hablarlo porque es enormemente motivadora. Eduardo

Catia makes learning Portuguese so satisfying. She's a sensitive and highly intelligent teacher. Catia adapts to the learning styles of the student and makes each lesson exciting. I thoroughly recommend her to students of all levels who want that extra bit of magic to make the learning process enjoyable as well as educational.

Greg, USA

Catia is a superlative tutor. Her unique approach to teaching will benefit any student, as she models the lessons to your needs. I always feel relaxed and have fun learning with Catia. The study guides she provide outside of the lessons are a huge help. If you sign up for lessons with Catia, make sure to ask her what a Frango is

Hongsie, Germany

Cátia is a talented teacher who tailors her teaching and materials to her students. In our first class, she quickly adapted to my existing level of Portuguese and made the class really interesting and engaging. Throughout our classes, she has helped me overcome my fear of talking Portuguese. Now I have no problem talking the whole class in Portuguese with her - not perfectly yet but I am getting there with her help! She is always well prepared for teaching with her materials, and can explain me things on the spot whenever I have questions or doubts. Plus she has a great character and humour so classes with her are always fun! :) Muito obrigada por tudo, Cátia! Vemo-nos em Portugal!

Annabel, UK

Catia is a very natural teacher- I highly recommend! I feel very comfortable in class and am gaining confidence with Portuguese quickly. The classes are fun so it is easy to learn, big thanks!

Anna, UK

I am so glad to have found Catia! I’ve been afraid of starting to learn Portuguese for a few reasons, but mostly because of being dyslexic. Catia has adapted her study information to make it accessible for me, and makes each lesson personalised to my learning needs. There’s no issue going over topics again if I didn’t quite get it first time and I love that Catia will try different approaches to help make it stick. Also, Catia provides an interesting range of study guides for outside the lesson which helps me make the most of our time together. I love how enthusiastic and reassuring Catia is during our lessons together which is really helping with my confidence. I’m feeling very lucky to have found the perfect tutor for my needs.
