    Olá! If you are interested in learning European Portuguese from an experienced native speaker, you landed on the right page! I am a native European Portuguese speaker born and raised in the beautiful city of Lisbon in Portugal, and I am here to assist you with your language needs. I hold a PharmD. and a PhD in Health Sciences. In addition to Healthcare, I am passionate about teaching European Portuguese to people from all over the world in all stages of their lives. My main goal is to make you succeed, so our classes will be customized for your specific needs. During my career as a Language Instructor for over a decade, I have helped many students. Some of them successfully moved to Portugal, others are now able to speak fluent Portuguese with their friends and relatives, others became more marketable and employable, and so, moved up in their careers, others successfully expanded their businesses to include Portugal, and others happily retired there! What is your reason to learn Portuguese? With a proven record of successful stories, I am well positioned to help you achieve your learning goals and immerse you in this friendly and fun culture! What are you waiting for? Let’s start your enjoyable learning journey! Rita

    I have really enjoyed studying with Rita for the last 8 months. She is a lovely, fun, smart, and patient teacher. She is very flexible and will help you learn what you want to. She is from Lisbon and is great to talk to about Portuguese culture, food, and holidays too.

    Rita is great European Portuguese instructor that is well organized with her material and her approach is very good for beginners, I highly recommend her for 1st time beginners and even advanced students, as she has lived in Portugal and knows about the culture and life style of country& culture, personable, responsible, kind, and patient!.
