"I highly recommend Jessica’s classes! I chose the 12-lesson program and I really liked how Jessica tailored each class to my personal needs and goals. Each session is different: some are done online and some face-to-face.
Jessica is very engaging, positive, friendly and fun to learn with. She knows how to help you build confidence in the learning process. I’ve already recommended a friend of mine to learn Portuguese with Jessica, as I know from my personal experience that her method and awesome attitude make you progress quickly.
Get ready to have homework to do between each lesson 😊 You’ll be encouraged to speak & record yourself, and learn through different types of materials - songs, stories, real-life scenarios, etc.
Thank you Jessica for your patience, passion for teaching and dedication!"

"Jessica Sintra has been an invaluable asset to us throughout our move to Portugal. She prepared us with the necessary vocabulary so we were able to quickly start communicating with those in our new neighborhood. Jessica teaches using a variety of methods including music, art, role-playing, memorization, video, recitation, and infuses it with a fun, playful perspective. As our language skills continue to improve, she adapts the lessons to meet our needs. She also is amazing at working with couples who have different language levels and learning styles. She masterfully navigates the stresses of trying to learn a new language while juggling different personalities. We highly recommend Jessica. She is always supportive and positive but doesn't hesitate to push you outside of your comfort zone when needed. If you think you can't learn a new language, think again and reach out to Jessica."

"I have been studying and learning Portuguese with Jessica since Summer and it has been a great experience. She is a very thoughtful teacher who puts a lot of thought into how she presents lessons. Her lessons were engaging, useful, and she was very patient and always encouraging. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning Portuguese.
I have learned so much in my classes with Jessica. She paces the class just right so you feel challenged but not overwhelmed. So many other classes you just read from a textbook but in her classes, Jessica asks questions and gets the student to respond which is both fun and promotes faster learning. She is patient and eager to help. I’m thrilled to have found her!."

"Jessica Sintra is amazing at teaching Portuguese to English speakers! She listens to what her customers want to accomplish – from learning Portuguese language basics to becoming proficient in Portuguese –and then creates a language learning program tailored to those specific requirements. We love Jessica’s unique, professional approach, and she makes it fun for her students to learn. We could not be more pleased with our progress in learning Portuguese and with Jessica as our teacher!"

"We recently moved to Portugal looking for help learning spoken and written Portuguese.  Portuguese is a difficult language to learn, and Jessica did a great job of teaching us the language and pronunciation combined with the culture and history that makes Portugal special. The one-on-one classes combined with the well-coordinated and fun follow up assignments made it easier to understand Portuguese.  We highly recommend Jessica; you won’t be disappointed."

"When my girlfriend and I moved to Portugal, we thought that it was really important for us to learn Portuguese.
We started our search for a teacher who would be able to focus on teaching couples and keep us constantly engaged with fun material since I happened to lose focus quite easily. After searching for a few days, we discovered a teacher who specialized in working with couples and tick all of our boxes. Jessica has been a great teacher and we really recommend her if you are learning Portuguese. Each class is catered to our learning needs and we look forward to the lessons because Jessica does an amazing job of sharing new and interesting things about Portuguese language and culture. If you're looking for dynamic language classes that are personalized to your learning level, Jessica is the teacher for you."
