Joana has been a brilliant teacher, good at balancing speed and content in an intensive course for people with different linguistic backgrounds and learning abilities. I particularly liked the effort to have us repeat and (re)write things by hand such as verbs and adjectives, also as part of excercises. I also appreciated that she could share additional material and exercises with those of us who had time and capacity to process more work during a session. It also helped a lot that Joana’s English is excellent and she also knows/understands other languages - this makes explanations so much better for the students.
So all in all a great experience. If I had more time to spend in Portugal I’d definitely take level A2 too. Who knows? Maybe I’ll be back at some point and sign up : )

Far exceeded my expectation for a language course. Both Joanna and Sofia are amazing and classes are not crowded, and pace is manageable, to match the class average. I’ve learned a lot in my first 2 weeks so far :)

Joana brings the energy, challenges you (respectfully) and teaches in a structured and diverse way. Couldnt have wished for a better teacher

Ian

Excellent course in terms of structure and intensity. The rapid pace gets us where we need to be at the end of the first level. The class atmosphere is very good. Dynamic and stimulation teacher ! :) The only suggestion I would make is to have a bit more speaking exercises amongst students, in small groups, 2 x 2. Presentations in front of the class are also good, but it can be useful and playful to practice under less pressure, in pairs.
