ABOUT

Olá, eu sou a Sandra.

Learn from a Skilled and Certified Instructor.

Olá! I’m Sandra, and I’m excited to guide you on this journey to learning Portuguese.

I hold a CELTA, a CAPPLE, a CCP (Certificate of Pedagogical Skills), a Degree in Communication, and a Master’s in Art and Technology of Sound. I will bring a unique blend of language teaching expertise and creative skills. With over 10 years of teaching experience, including 6 years of online teaching to students from over 25 nationalities, you’ll be learning from a dedicated professional committed to your success.

I’m truly passionate about helping you achieve your goals, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. I prioritise meaningful connections over social media presence. You won’t find me chasing online fame.

Let’s take this exciting language journey together!

"I've been working with Sandra to improve my Portuguese for about 3 years, and she is the kindest, most patient, most effective, and most

professional teacher I have found. I tried out about 15 different teachers, all very qualified and experienced, but none of them met my high

standards. I am a teacher myself and I wanted a teacher who would truly invest in my progress, push me to meet my potential, carve out a

unique learning journey for me, and connect with me in a friendly and compassionate way. Sandra's lessons are focused, engaging and not

only introduce you to accurate, natural Portuguese, they combine elements of culture, history and functional daily language.

With her deep knowledge of sound, linguistics and students' needs, she creates lesson plans which really work. I highly recommend her to anyone keen on truly becoming a confident and competent Portuguese speaker."

Curious about what it’s like to learn Portuguese with me?

🤗 Let me share their stories with you!

Don’t just take our word for it! Curious about what it’s like to learn Portuguese with me? Here’s what some of my students have to say! Whether they've been learning with me for years or have just started on various platforms, their experiences highlight the impact and effectiveness of my teaching.

Spot-on classes

Sandra is an amazing Portuguese teacher who helped me start speaking the language in just a few months. She has her own way of teaching, with special lessons and exercises that make sure you learn well. She's strict, but that's a good thing because it makes you do your best. Her classes are always spot-on, helping me quickly get the tricky parts of Portuguese and avoid the usual mistakes beginners make. Thanks to her, I can now have real conversations in Portuguese.

Nikita Bobrovskiy.

 First Generation American

I have been working with Sandra now for almost a year and can't believe the growth I've seen in my Portuguese speaking, writing, and comprehension abilities. As a first generation American, I grew up around the language, even spending summers in Portugal as a child, but never properly learned and struggled to communicate effectively. Since working with Sandra, multiple family members have commented on how much of a difference they notice in my Portuguese, and I feel 100 times more confident communicating with native Portuguese speakers. I still have so much to learn, and I look forward to continuing that journey with Sandra as my teacher!

Emily Santos - Product Marketing Manager

Consummate Professional and Excellent Teacher

Sandra is a consummate professional and excellent teacher. I especially appreciate her focus on the 4 core skills. Reading out loud and speaking/conversation are my challenge areas and she never makes you feel harried or pressured and always provides encouragement (which we learners generally need to stay motivated). Her lessons aren't a cake walk but you can trust you'll be more competent in PT-PT after each.

When choosing a language course, it's essential to consider both the quality and sustainability of your learning experience. Here's why my course is the right choice:

These updates are designed to improve your learning experience and generally take minimal time. However, we appreciate your understanding and patience during any brief interruptions.

The Absolute Beginners Extended course is designed to be completed in approximately 5 to 15 weeks, depending on your learning pace and study habits. Here’s a breakdown:

  • If you study for 1 hour per day, you can expect to finish the course in about 5 to 7.5 weeks.

  • If you study for 30 minutes per day, the course may take around 9.5 to 15 weeks to complete.

While this may seem like a significant time commitment, it's important to remember that language learning is a process, and this course is structured to provide comprehensive instruction that helps you build a strong foundation in Portuguese.

The estimated time for completing this course is based on average calculations. For the up to 52 hours estimate, we considered the total duration of video content, the approximate time required for completing interactive exercises, listening to dialogues, and revisiting material for practice. The up to 26 hours estimate applies to packages or modules with reduced content and activities.

These estimates are provided for guidance only and do not constitute a guarantee. Actual completion times will vary depending on individual factors such as learning pace, prior knowledge, and study habits. By enrolling in the course, students acknowledge that their personal completion time may differ from these averages.

Why does it take this long?
  • The course includes 9+ hours of video content, 75 instructional videos, 58 real-life dialogues, 32 additional vocabulary and practical talk videos featuring real images and everyday conversations and 200+ interactive exercises that ensure you not only learn the material but also retain and apply it effectively.

  • Learning a new language, especially one as rich as Portuguese, takes time to master. This course is designed to walk you through all essential grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation in a methodical, step-by-step approach, allowing you to absorb and practice the material as you go.

Can I learn at my own pace?

Absolutely! One of the key benefits of this course is flexibility. You can learn at a pace that suits your schedule, and with lifetime access to the course materials, you can revisit lessons and exercises whenever you need to. Whether you prefer to move through the material quickly or take your time, this course allows for both.

Is it worth the time investment?

Definitely! Unlike shorter, less detailed courses, this program is designed for thorough learning. By the end of the course, you’ll have a solid foundation in European Portuguese and the confidence to use the language in real-life scenarios. Plus, many similar courses that cover this much content are offered at the A1 level, meaning our Absolute Beginners Extended course is more comprehensive than many beginner courses available.

How do I stay motivated during the course?

To help you stay on track, the course is broken down into manageable milestones. Each unit is designed to give you "quick wins," so you can track your progress and feel a sense of accomplishment even before completing the full course. Plus, you'll have access to an engaged community of learners through our private forum and support via our Telegram group, so you’re never learning alone!

Yes, you will receive immediate access to all course materials upon purchase.

Absolutely! You can access the course on any device, whether it's your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop, so you can study wherever and whenever it's convenient for you.

No, there is no certification upon completing the Absolute Beginners course course. However, after finishing the next course, A1, you will be well-prepared to take national proficiency assessments like the CAPLE (Centro de Avaliação de Português Língua Estrangeira) exams, which are recognised internationally and assess your Portuguese language proficiency officially. Furthermore, your teacher is CAPPLE certified so you are in good hands!

The course offers lifetime access, so you can take as much time as you need to complete it. There's no rush, and you can revisit the materials anytime in the future.

The modular course structure in this context refers to the option of purchasing the full course in two separate packages, each containing distinct units that are part of the overall curriculum. Here’s how it works:

Two Packages: The course is divided into two main packages. Each package consists of five units—four main units and one bonus revision unit. These revision units are designed to reinforce the material covered in the previous four units.

Package 1: The first package includes the first four units of the course plus one bonus revision unit, which helps solidify your understanding of the foundational topics covered.

Package 2: The second package contains the next four units, building on what you’ve learned, along with another bonus revision unit to ensure you’ve fully grasped the content before moving on.

Flexible Purchase Options: You can choose to buy the full course upfront or purchase it in these two separate packages, allowing you to manage your learning and financial investment at a comfortable pace.

Same Comprehensive Course: Whether you purchase the full course or the two packages separately, you’re getting the same comprehensive content. The modular structure simply provides an option for breaking down the course into more manageable parts.

This approach allows you to start your learning journey with the first package and continue with the second when you’re ready, giving you flexibility in both time and cost

Yes, you can! After purchasing the course, simply email me at [email protected] with the details of the recipient, and I'll set up the account for them.

Yes, the price is a one-time fee. Once you pay, you get full access to the course without any additional charges.

You can pay using any major debit or credit card, including Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, Google Pay and Apple Pay Stripe, and others.

No, full previews aren’t available, but I regularly share sneak peeks of the course content on my social media. If you’d like a more personalised preview, feel free to contact me directly, and I’d be happy to provide you with a snippet of the course material.

If you’re considering enrolling as a group, we’d be happy to explore options with you! We evaluate group discounts on a case-by-case basis, so please contact us directly to discuss your needs and learn more about potential discounts.

Given the significant differences between English and Portuguese, the majority of our courses are conducted in English. This method ensures that you can easily grasp the foundational concepts, with all instructions and exercises presented in English to maximize your understanding, especially at the beginner levels.

As you advance, your familiarity with Portuguese will grow, and the instruction will gradually shift to Portuguese to enhance your immersion. At the advanced stages, lessons will be predominantly in Portuguese, though more challenging concepts will still be clarified in English to ensure you remain confident in your learning journey.

No prior knowledge of Portuguese is necessary to get started with our courses. We’ve tailored the lessons specifically for English speakers, making the learning process smoother and more approachable.
