Qualified, Caring Instructors: Our highly experienced program coordinators and teachers provide individualized support to every student (and parents of younger students). We believe in a student-centered approach – addressing each learner’s strengths, weaknesses, and goals.

Free Assessment & Placement: Not sure of your Portuguese level? We offer free placement tests and consultations. We’ll assess your skills and recommend the right course level for you, so you can learn at the perfect pace.

How to Prepare Your Learning Journey?

Start Young: If possible, expose children to native Portuguese from an early age. Young learners absorb languages naturally, laying the groundwork for fluency and native-like pronunciation later on.
Build in School Years: During the school years, focus on strengthening vocabulary and grammar. Regular Portuguese classes through childhood and adolescence will reinforce language fundamentals and boost academic performance (especially if taking Portuguese exams or as a school subject in future).
Get Exam Guidance: For teens aiming for public exams (like IB or IGCSE Portuguese), find an experienced teacher or tutor. Proper preparation in high school, with targeted practice and past papers, can help achieve top results and earn valuable qualifications.
Aim for Advanced Proficiency: Continue your learning to higher levels (such as C1 or C2 proficiency, or official exams like CAPLE). Advanced Portuguese skills will help you stand out in university applications and in the workplace, especially in fields dealing with Lusophone countries.
