If fixed group schedules don’t work for you, our Private Course gives you the flexibility to complete your Portuguese A1 + A2 programme around your own professional and personal commitments.
You decide when you want to start, and we work with you to create a tailor-made schedule.
Enjoy complete flexibility with our Private Course: reschedule or cancel lessons with at least 24 hours’ notice, and pause your course whenever work, travel, holidays or other commitments make it difficult to attend classes.
The course can be taken one-to-one or as a private group, making it particularly suitable for couples, families, friends or colleagues who want to complete the programme together.

Portuguese that fits around your life
One of the biggest challenges when completing a 150-hour language programme is finding a timetable that works.
With the Private Course, you are not tied to the schedule or pace of a regular group.
Together, we determine a timetable that works for you and establish an appropriate pace for completing your course.
Have a demanding job? Travel regularly? Need to organise lessons around different time zones? Want to complete the programme more intensively?
We build the schedule around you.
Individual attention from your teacher
Private classes also mean more individual attention.
Your teacher can adapt the lessons to your learning pace, identify the areas where you need additional support and spend more time working on the aspects of Portuguese that are most challenging for you.
While the programme covers the required A1 and A2 content, the learning experience can be adapted much more closely to your individual needs than in a regular group course.
Study alone or together
You can book the programme as:
- One-to-one tuition: maximum individual attention and flexibility.
- Couples: ideal for partners completing the programme together.
- Families: coordinate different schedules and work towards the same objective.
- Private groups: study with friends, colleagues or other people you already know.
This is particularly convenient for families who need several members to obtain their Portuguese-language certification but have different professional, academic or personal schedules.
Complete your A2 programme at your own pace
Whether you want to progress intensively or spread your lessons over a longer period, the Private Course gives you considerably more control over your timetable.
Classes are 100% online and live with your teacher, so you can study wherever you are.
After successfully completing the programme, you receive your A2 Portuguese Language Certificate, providing recognised proof of Portuguese-language knowledge for the applicable nationality/citizenship or permanent residence procedures.
