Richard WatsonMaria is great, a hard task master but she makes the lessons fun and we laugh a lot. She is very flexible scheduling lessons around work which I need sometimes. She’s very knowledgeable and helped to make learning easier for me using different techniques. If you want to start from scratch or brush up your Portuguese I would recommend Maria at the Portuguese Language Club.
Ru ButlerPatient, professional and genuinely passionate about what she teaches, Maria brings a structured, fun environment to every lesson. Be it on the go - remotely or in person she has enabled me to make real progress in learning what is a wonderful language. Every meeting I am met with a smile and a never ending source of encouragement (and patience!). I have been a client of The Portuguese Language Club for a few years now and could not rate it more highly.
Anabela BragaMaria is a professional, friendly and patient portuguese teacher. Her lessons are engaging and productive. She is prepared for every lesson and always on time. Highly recommended!
Paulo BragaLessons with Maria are fantastic! They're well structured, have a good pace, and the resources are great - highly recommended!
Nina QuintalIf I could give Maria more than 5 stars, I would! She's absolutely lovely, and so understanding when it comes to a busy lifestyle or my learning difficulties. She's focused and professional while still keeping lessons fun and interactive. She helps me keep Portuguese as an active part of my everyday life! I love Maria to bits and I'm so so grateful I've found her! Beijinhos, Maria!
Sarah DiasMaria has been teaching my 8year old for over a year and a half. She is very patient and sessions are fun and engaging!
Gus ThomisI have been taking lessons with Maria for a year or two now, and my Portuguese has improved a lot over this period. She has always been very patient and friendly with me, and finds useful ways to help me remember certain things which I have difficulties with. I recommend getting lessons with Maria, no matter what your current level of Portuguese is.
James SpaldingMaria has been teaching my wife and I Portuguese virtually for over a year and we can’t recommend her highly enough. Maria is an experienced teacher, with a clear plan that she builds to suit what you are trying to achieve. She is great fun, friendly and committed to helping you achieve your goals. She is also a Portuguese native, fluent in English having lived in the UK for many years. Because of this, she is able to teach you how to make the Portuguese specific sounds. Highly recommend!
Tom MaherMaria is a fantastic teacher! Highly recommend her, very professional.
Jenny CollicottWith there being very few places around teaching European Portuguese, I was delighted to find Maria. I have been learning with Maria for a couple of years now and I thoroughly enjoy our classes. As well as learning the words, structures ect, Maria is very good at teaching the pronunciation which is so hard especially when learning as an adult! I highly recommend Maria if you are looking to learn European Portuguese in a friendly and relaxed environment.
