I've had 20 classes with Bruno at this point. My confidence has definitely grown, the last few classes have been almost entirely in portuguese. I would happily recommend him to anyone who wants to learn portuguese.

This review is for the last 4 lessons given to my 11 YO daughter. What we are most concerned with is there doesn't seem to be any structure to the tutoring. Our daughter learned Portuguese while overseas, in Portugal. So far, after 4 classes, all it seems that they do it just talk to each other. Bruno has said he is going to get the book that our daughter is reading, so that they can discuss it and she can continue to learn words she doesn't know yet. But, after a month, he hasn't. Finally, in the most recent session (02 Oct), he had to leave for a few minutes in the middle and then 10 minutes before the allotted hour was complete. We can understand when issues come up, but when my wife or I work from home, we know that in a meeting we are unavailable. To have our daughter lose almost 20% (12 minutes) of the time we are paying for is unacceptable. We have paid for these sessions in advance, and we would like to see return on our investment.
