Service: Portuguese language lessons
I've been having a great time learning Portuguese with Katharine in Almada. Her lessons are fun, well-structured, and provide the perfect opportunity for me to ask questions I've been unsure about. Katharine is extremely helpful, teaching both mainland and Brazilian Portuguese with impressive professionalism. The lessons are excellent value, and her warm, caring approach makes the learning experience enjoyable and reassuring.

Service: Private English classes for my daughter
Finding a tutor who aligns well with their students isn't always easy, but Dorin was just what we needed for my daughter. Over three years, Dorin's kindness and polite demeanor made the private lessons at our home a pleasant experience. My daughter's enjoyment of studying was undeniably reflected when she scored 100 on her exam.

Service: Intermediate Portuguese lessons emphasizing conversation and grammar, Pickup and delivery laundry for large linens and delicate items
I’ve been doing Portuguese classes for about a month at an intermediate level, three days a week, and she is exactly what I need right now. I needed someone to make me talk more, with a mix of conversation and grammar, and I’m happy with the progress I’ve made even if it’s been a little bit of a push. The pricing is a package and you get what you pay for - not cheap but worth it. I also had a very complicated laundry order with a lot of linens, pillows and duvets coming out of storage all at once, and they came to me, picked everything up, handled the delicate stuff, and delivered it back, came prepared, exactly what I needed.

Service: Preschool education, school tour and enrollment consultation
I visited the school and Vadim, one of the founders, showed us around, answered all our questions, and was very nice, which made us decide to enroll. My child is in the preschool mixed group (about 3 to 5 years) and goes every day roughly 9 to 4 in a class with physical education, Portuguese, music, English and math. I feel everyone cares and communication is easy, pick up and drop off are smooth, and I like that teachers don’t force kids to do something, though sometimes the group gets a bit messy and I wish there was a better balance in asking them to follow the rules. The price felt a bit expensive at first, but they were flexible with a discount since we joined in October, so it’s almost okay.
