Eliminate all uncertainty from your Portuguese learning plan and speak faster with more confidence

Eli is a phenomenal teacher. He is incredibly patient and has a gentle and effective way of correcting errors. Although I am generally self-conscious with speaking, I feel confident speaking with Eli because he creates a safe, judgment-free space to communicate. This may be in part because he himself has learned many languages! As far as the conversation classes, he always brings an interesting, current topic to talk about and the hour flies by. The experience has exceeded my expectations!

Eu fico sempre assombrada pela quantidade de preparações que você faz para suas aulas. Nossa! Que dedicação! Gosto muito dos monólogos e aproveito das guias para rever e estudar o conteúdo Nas aulas de conversação, o seu jeito e o ambiente relaxado que você cria, me ajuda ficar mais tranquila e pronta para participar. Adoro que você tenha tanta facilidade com Zoom e a internet. Assim você nos traz bons exemplos em vídeo, imagens (até alguns com imagens feitas por você pela inteligência artificial!), e nas notas que você faz através da hora. Admiro que tudo que você apresenta é feito bem completo. Parabéns, Professor! Que bom que eu tive a sorte de achar sua escola, e que agora posso dedicar algumas horas a cada semana no estudo de Portugues, língua tão distintiva!.

As aulas com Eli são ótimas. Ele está sempre bem preparado, tem ideias criativas e é muito divertido aprender com ele. Não poderia ser melhor.

As lições de Eli têm feito uma grande diferença no meu progresso. Aprender português brasileiro é um grande desafio, como tentar escalar uma montanha! Eu costumava pensar que não chegava a lado nenhum rapidamente, mas agora quando outros começam a dizer-me que a minha capacidade de falar melhorou tanto, então é muito encorajador! Posso atribuir essa grande mudança à propina e paciência de Eli. Devo dizer-vos que estou ao nível dos principiantes e este parágrafo foi traduzido à máquina.

O Eli é um professor maravilhoso. Sempre vem preparado com tópicos interessantes, um sentido de humor bem ativo, e muita paciência. Muito, muito obrigada, Eli, por fazer a aprendizagem do português tão divertida. 🙂

The wide variety of topics are interesting and Informative and Eli’s sense of humor is evident throughout. [I was especially pleased that it helped me...] Improve my listening and comprehension skills as well as expand my vocabulary and reinforce grammar concepts.

[As a result of using the Learning Guides and all other resources of the Continuing Education Program, I...] stay interested and engaged in my Portuguese studies due to the wide variety of ways to interact and learn. [I recommend joining the Continuing Education Program to] Anyone who wants to improve their Portuguese language skills while also learning about Brazilian culture.

Eli makes things fun, but at the same time, you learn an extraordinary amount of culture along with grammar and vocabulary. Eli is always very generous with his time. Every reading assignment has taught me more about the history of Brazil. It was amazing to learn through the lives of the people the experiences the country went through from the imperial era to its independence. Everything Eli has put in the Book Club has improved my Portuguese and my understanding of Brazilian history. [I] am able to practice reading the material out loud and then listening to it by a native speaker. It is helpful to me to improve my listening as well as my speaking abilities. The guides always are full of definitions that put the words in different contexts to help me better understand them and see ways to incorporate them into my use of the language. [I recommend the Program to] anyone who wants to improve their Portuguese. First, his school is very reasonably priced. Second, there is a great quantity of quality content. Thrid, Eli makes learning Portuguese more than just about the language itself. You'll learn to love Brazil and its people.

I've learn a lot of vocabulary and idioms. [Being part of the school has helped me] to speak without thinking. The words just came to me without much thinking. And I feel so much confidence to speak. [I] have learned a lot of grammar. [I recommend joining the Program for] EVERYBODY who really wants to speak portuguese in a natural way.

Eli é um professor ótimo! Ele não só da aulas mas tem uma experiencia bem compreensiva com costumização para sua necessidade única. Obrigado Eli!

Eliaquim is one of the most magnificant professionals and individuals I have met in my life. He is an outstanding wordsmith and exceptionally skilled polyglot. He is very focused in his teaching methodology. He is a superb listener during language sessions. He presents questions, listens and responds with more questions and deeper drill-down into vocabulary, and the deep and diverse expanse of meaning that derives from what seemed like a simple conversation. Eli not only enriched my Portuguese, but I am forever in debt to him for motivating me to study Chinese. Could I possibly recommend him more highly?

Comecei minhas aulas com Eli há menos de 1 ano, agora posso falar português também a nível profissional. Recebi muitos elogios tanto de portugueses como do brasileiros. Eli é um super conhecedor e sempre tenta manter a aula interessante. Ele é um dos melhores professores que já tive (e eu falo 7 idiomas, então tentei muitos)

Eli has been my Portuguese teacher for 5 years. I am not a stranger to language learning as I have previously studied 3 other languages, earning a Bachelors Degree in French in 1997. Eli is, by far, the most engaging, language teacher I have ever had. I progressed more rapidly in our one on one video lessons than I have ever progressed in language learning before. The gift of being able to communicate in the native language of my then-boyfriend, now husband, is one that I cannot ever repay! My relationships with my Brazilian family are deeper than they ever could have been had I never worked with Eli. I continue to use his videos and podcasts to improve my skills and will engage in more private lessons with him to prepare for the CELPE-BRAS one day. Muito obrigada, meu professor pelo tudo. Você é top!

Quando me mudei para o Brasil precisava muito aprender português rápido para poder viver aqui. Em dois anos não só aprendi português com o Eli, mas ganhei um amigo também.
