Each student gets a personal treatment. Apart from numbers, we care about people from the minute they walk in! Your progress is our main concern. Your opinion is highly valued. That's why while your Portuguese course is going on we will assess your evolution and try to improve your Portuguese learning experience. We will also put you in contact with authentic everyday situations to boost your Portuguese learning experience.
