Exceptional tutor highly recommend for individual or group

I have completed several Portuguese courses online in person and can wholeheartedly recommend Catarina as a tutor teacher We have had several 1 1 sessions and I also had the opportunity to join one of her small group classes Thus I ll share about both Individual lesson It is a pleasure to speak with a native Portuguese and receive real time corrections answers to questions and guidance She is very knowledgable and I believe her career background is an extra plus She works with different materials and there is a variety of instruction speaking listening all vital parts to learning the language Online group class I was actually quite impressed with the small group Not just how she taught the class eg discussion mini lecture breakout rooms etc but seeing how her students spoke and their comfort level gave me a lot of confidence in her abilities I have not seen this in other small groups I have done At this time I was looking for 1 1 but if I return to group classes I will definitely go to her 10 10 recommend

Classes with Catarina are very productive

Classes with Catarina are dinamic funny and very productive Cat is able to make you learn difficult grammar aspects effortlessly Besides there is a perfect combination between grammar conversation reading and culture I really recomend learning with Cat

highly recommended

I found the intermediate Portuguese lessons B1 2 with Cat were incredibly rewarding and well-structured Cat s approach to the subjunctive conjuntivo was particularly effective breaking it down into manageable clear explanations while incorporating practical examples that made it much less intimidating Her guide was very useful and provided a great tool for quick revision The balance between grammar and conversation was excellent and there was flexibility in terms of being able to take on greater or lesser homework depending on your time commitments The combination of grammar and speaking not only improved my understanding of the language s mechanics but also boosted my confidence in speaking and expressing myself Cat is an excellent and intuitive instructor Highly recommended

From zero to hero in one year

I had my first test class with Catarina in November last year and first ever Portuguese class and I knew immediately that the way her teaching is structured yet flexible demanding yet fun and never intimidating was just made for me And then there was her warm and most friendly and understanding personality Thanks to this combination fast forward 12 months and I am reaching level C1 I was fortunate to join Catarina s group classes - with perfect balance of conversations reading listening and grammar to push myself ot of my comfort zone and 1 1 classes which helped build up my confidence and fill any gaps and doubts I have Couldn t recommend enough

Learning European Portuguese with Cat

Learning European Portuguese with Cat is a high quality learning experience which I cannot recommend enough I have taken private classes with her aswell as group classes and have been able to improve my language skills significantly The mix of grammar cultural aspects conversation and creative writing makes learning a lot of fun and I have met lovely people through her classes

Great course Informative personalized teaching style

I Had an excellent time studying with Catarina The classes were nicely structured and I felt pushed but not uncomfortable Things were explained in a clear way and new rules or concepts were backed up with real world examples and practice The course had a good mix of new ideas Conversational exercises and private study exercises which were well thought out
