Thomas is the best tutor ever! He's very fun and engaging — I look forward to every class. He also tailors very well to your specific needs and level. He gives you homework (if you want) to help reinforce concepts and prepare you for the next class to truly maximize your learning. Has a very well structured learning plan, is extremely good at helping with pronunciation and helps you speak with more confidence. Could not recommend him more!

I live in Brazil and I need to speak Portuguese at work. I'm enjoying my lessons with Thomas. He has his own teaching method, better than the books, that makes learning easier. The class is well organized and easy to follow. He explains things very clearly, is highly didactic, and makes even the most difficult grammar concepts easy to understand. I highly recommend him!

The lessons with Thomas are always lively — he follows a clear didactic concept so that I feel like I am gradually being introduced to the language with each unit. The homework is also really useful for reinforcing what was learned. He is very pleasant personally, which is very important to me, and motivates me to stay engaged in learning. Muito obrigado!
