Małgorzata Szlaga2025-02-24 Paula ist meine Portugiesischlehrerin seit 4 Jahren. 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 Campeau2025-02-19 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 Koshel2024-09-04 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 Roestorf2023-03-20 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 be connected. You save so much time with this type of classes, you’ll not waste time in traffic and you only need under 5 minutes to enter the class. In terms of interaction, don’t worry, because you’ll interact with me and with your colleagues as if you were in an in-person class. We use several learning materials and although they will be used online, you can download them before the class
You prefer to have the full attention of the teacher and want her to constantly adapt the lesson plan to your own pace of learning and to your demands.
It’s great to have another person at the same level as you, sharing your doubts and thoughts during the class and still have a personalized class as much as possible.
You also learn from colleagues’ questions and doubts, and you love to interact with people during the classes. The groups are really small and will not hinder your individual learning. You’ll have time to participate constantly and you’ll save money.
