Service: Portuguese and english lessons for my staff and for my daughter
I started using ClickTalk Online School for professional reasons because I run a tourism business and we needed English and Portuguese lessons for some of our staff. Katharine set up courses with groups at different levels, from basic to advanced. So far, the feedback has been very positive; I've noticed real progress. The teachers are responsible, punctual, friendly, empathetic and professional. Our employees are so motivated that they even want to continue lessons online during their vacations! I was impressed with the service and decided to use it for personal reasons too. My daughter was struggling with English, so I enrolled her in online classes with other children. They use fun educational games tailored to her needs. The program is very personalized; They started with listening activities before speaking tasks since they assessed her as an introvert and she couldn't read or write yet at that time. Overall, it's been a great experience for both my business and family needs!

Service: 1:1 on-line sessions for over 3 years now
Over the past three and a half years, I've experienced remarkable progress in my 1:1 sessions with Cláudia. She ensures I fully grasp each concept before moving on, using a mix of books, videos, and songs to keep learning enjoyable. I often recommend her to friends and coworkers because of her patience and reliability.

Service: 1:1 Online English lessons
I've taken English lessons online with Lúcio, focusing on improving what I already knew. I'm really enjoying the personalized approach of these 1:1 sessions, as I've learned more with him than in traditional language schools in Brazil. His method is practical and effective, and I've already improved a great deal.

Service: Portuguese Classes A1 level
Finding a language class that truly meets my needs was essential when I moved from Tel Aviv to Lisbon. After trying to learn Portuguese online and realizing I needed more personal support, I discovered Ben's classes, and they've made a remarkable difference. In just six months, my progress has been unbelievably fast, thanks to his engaging lessons and diverse materials.

Service: Portuguese classes every week for the last 4 years
I've been taking weekly Portuguese lessons with Miguel Flor de Lima for the past four years, and I'm genuinely impressed. He's extremely professional and great at what he does. Even with a full schedule, he's always been accommodating when I needed to change my lesson times. Every class is different and personalized to my learning needs—we use three main books, but Miguel also shares additional materials through Teams and prepares each lesson thoroughly. In our classes, we do a variety of activities; we read news articles, listen to songs, and spend a lot of time discussing the week's events. It feels very tailored to me. I highly recommend his services if you're looking for engaging and well-prepared Portuguese lessons.

Service: Online group Portuguese language lessons with cultural insights and homework
I started around September and took Débora’s basic Portuguese course with online group classes once a week, and I’m already in the second stage. I really love her lessons - the information she gives is very thorough, with lots of details so everyone can understand. She also talks about culture, we can ask about that, and there’s homework that helps. I’m satisfied with her and I’m still learning with her, and the price felt fair.
