Ich bin beeindruckt, wie viel ich von ihr gelernt habe! Sie ist stets sehr gut vorbereitet und bringt immer neue, kreative Unterrichtsideen ein, die den Lernprozess spannend gestalten. Paula ist sehr professionell und erklärt die Inhalte klar und verständlich. Sie schafft auch eine angenehme Lernatmosphäre, in der man sich gut aufgehoben fühlt. Ihre methodische Vielfalt hilft mir, schnell Fortschritte zu machen. Ich kann sie nur weiter empfehlen! Dina Campeau2025-02-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paula is an AMAZING teacher. I am so lucky to have found her after working with several online teachers; I have learned so much from her. Here are her strengths: 1) She assessed me perfectly so that I started with her at just the right level, and I continue to be stretched - in a good way - and never overwhelmed. 2) Her lessons, which she designs and customizes, are well structured with conversation, vocabulary through learning about Portuguese life and culture, and grammar points. I am always engaged and interested in the content. 3) She has strong command of English, so she is a perfect teacher for English speakers. Speaking of English, I was an English major and in her teaching Portuguese grammar, she has taught me things about English I never learned. 4) She is attentive and regularly evaluates my progress with clear feedback. 5) She has remarkable facility with online learning tools. She masters Zoom, shares documents easily, and navigates PDF and Powerpoint documents very skillfully. And this comes from someone who felt she could never learn well online. Finally, Paula is a LOVELY human being. Along with being clear, her teaching style is gentle, warm, and supportive. When I have been slow to learn a grammar point, she has explained it to me as many times as I need until I get it; she has always done so patiently and with encouragement. Signing up with Portuguese Quest is a decision you will always be glad you made. Enjoy!! Hanna Koshel2024-09-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I started learning Portuguese with "Portuguese Quest" as complete beginners, and our experience has been fantastic! Paula is patient, supportive, and enthusiastic, making each lesson enjoyable and effective. The classes are well-structured yet flexible, allowing us to focus on what we need most. We have seen great progress in our grammar, vocabulary, and conversation skills, which has boosted our confidence in speaking Portuguese. The creative teaching methods and positive energy keep us motivated. We look forward to continuing our lessons and highly recommend Paula to anyone looking to learn Portuguese, from beginners to advanced learners! Jene Roestorf2023-03-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paula is the best Portuguese teacher I've had! I've been to some of the schools and had private teachers before but none are as organised or have advanced my Portuguese as fast as working with Paula 1:1. She and I worked together to help me pass the language test for citizenship and I could not have been happier working with her. Her classes are engaging, well planned and she takes the time to really help you understand. Work with Paula, you won't regret it!

What can you find on Portuguese Quest?

Who doesn’t like
interesting small talk?
I teach Portuguese as a foreign or second language to those who want to speak with their family, friends, co-workers, etc. The goal is always to be able to keep a good conversation and foster understanding, so it is fundamental to try to speak in Portuguese from day one.

How to pronounce
words in Portuguese?
It’s really hard to understand some Portuguese words, especially because we tend to join two or more words when we say them. They sound like a single word! This awareness is important so that you can recognize the individual words when you read them or when you hear them.

How to spell
Portuguese words?
You should get an understanding of how letters and words are articulated during the process of speaking, and observe them in isolation as well as combined in sentences. Then, by trying to reproduce them in your oral utterances repeatedly, you will gradually manage to write these words correctly.

How to learn grammar?
Grammar is the less attractive part, but it’s the base of any language. With Portuguese Quest you will learn grammar in an interactive and diversified way, where each rule is followed by an exercise.

How to go deep into
Portuguese culture?
We are a small country, but with a lot to do and see. On Portuguese Quest we are going to talk about the geography, gastronomy, literature, art and history of this beautiful country, “”a small garden planted by the sea” (Tomás Ribeiro).
You can be anywhere in the world and still stay connected. Online classes save you time – no commuting, no traffic and it takes less than five minutes to join the lesson. As for interaction, don’t worry! You’ll engage with me and your classmates just like you would be in a face-to-face class. We use a variety of learning materials, all adapted for online use – and you can even download them before each lesson.
Private lessons are ideal if you want the teacher’s full attention and a learning plan adapted to your level and learning pace. The content remains structured and pedagogically consistent, but it is always connected to your personal goals and real-life context – whether that means focusing more on workplace situations, everyday conversation, or preparing for a specific challenge. Each lesson lasts 60 minutes and ou also benefit from flexible scheduling and a space where you can ask freely, feel more confident and progress at your own rhythm. Although levels are structured in 15-lesson sub levels, you can choose to pay monthly or pay the full 15-lesson course in advance – whichever suits you best.
The price for private one-to-one lessons is 30€ per hour.
A two-to-one class provides the perfect balance between personalised attention and the benefits of learning in a small group. You’ll receive focused support from the teacher, while also enjoying the opportunity to interact with a peer, practice conversation and engage in collaborative learning. This dynamic helps improve speaking skills, listening comprehension and offers a supportive environment where both students can motivate each other. Given its collaborative nature, these classes are structured in a course of 15 lessons, with each course comprising a total of 15 hours of instruction, allowing you to reach a new sub level in your learning.
The cost for the entire 15-lesson course is 262,50€ per student.
Group lessons provide a dynamic learning environment where you can learn not only from the teacher, but also from the classmates’s questions and doubts. If you enjoy interacting with others during lessons, this is the perfect option for you. The groups are kept small, ensuring that your individual learning is not compromised. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to participate, ask questions and engage with others. Each class last 75 minutes and due to the collaborative nature of group learning, the lessons are organised in a course of 15 lessons. At the end of the course, you’ll have reached a new sub level. It’s important that all students in the group are at the same level and the groups are formed only if there is a minimum of 5 students.
The cost for the entire 15-lesson course is 120€ per student.
