Alexs is a fantastic teacher, with a dynamic and fun approach to learning and a proven track record of coaching students to achieve a good GCSE result, some with a distinction. Whether it is an introduction to learning Portuguese, or studying to attain a GCSE, Alexs will teach students at their own pace and with attention to detail.
Naomi Barnes
With Alexs' dedication and kindness both my daughters have achieved full marks in their Portuguese GCSEs.
Lara K
The lessons are well structured, using textbooks, as well as being engaging and explained very well. I have been studying remotely via video link, making it very convenient without having to travel, but I know that other students do lessons in person. I would recommend Alexsandra to anyone who is eager to learn Portuguese both for academic achievement as well as for fun. Alexsandra is very personable and makes the lessons extremely enjoyable.
Natalia Olszeweska
Can I learn for practice?
This is for anyone who is wanting to learn and practice their Portuguese, however a large number of students are learning for the same purpose.
How is this better than language apps?
With language learning apps you only learn words and phrases that can string a sentance together. However with my we train your brain to adapt to different accents and styles of speaking, especially local media so that you feel comfortable knowing that your Portuguese is adaptive and can handle specific social interactions tht=at are complex. Plus I pay close attention to your pronounciation to perfect it!
How does this offer from other tutors?
In my experience the best way to learn a language is through contextual memorization (exactly the same as if you were in the country) and not textbook memorization. I also asses what style of learning suits you best before moving forward, whether you are an auditory learner or visual learner.
