My wife and I were looking for a Portuguese teacher for myself (she’s Brazilian, and I want to learn). I started taking classes with Marcos back in September and I absolutely love it! Marcos finds what learning process that works best for you and makes adjustments to make your time and money worth it. Marcos is more than a professor to his students, he’s a friend, and i think thats what makes learning with him so easy! I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking to learn!

Marcos is a great Portuguese teacher! He has an established curriculum that guides the lessons. In addition, he was very supportive of my individual learning style and goals. He would tailor our lessons to whatever I wanted to work on. He's very patient and supportive and enthusiastic. I've enjoyed learning Portuguese with him.
