I took an online French class with Katharine and her team, and it was a great experience. She was very direct about what I wanted, which was conversation, and that really helped me. I was recently in France and used some things I learned in class, and it was excellent. I would have liked to continue, but I couldn't.

I did Portuguese lessons with them for about a year, and I had a really good experience. The admin side were very organized and helpful when I had questions, and the teacher I had was really nice and very personable. I really enjoyed my lessons because it was not just about learning grammar and punctuation, it was actually based on my interests and practical, useful conversation skills. I would definitely recommend them, and I would go back in different financial circumstances.

I had a good experience with Gonçalo. The classes were quite practical and the pace suited my level. They were mostly in person in Lisbon, the location is excellent, and I learned quite a bit. He is wonderful, I think he is an excellent teacher.
