1:1 TUTORING
PRIVATE LESSONS THAT FIT YOUR LIFESTYLE
Private Portuguese lessons designed around you: your goals, your schedule, and your pace.
WHY 1:1 TUTORING?
Looking for something a little more personal? With Lighthouse’s private Portuguese tutoring, you’ll learn in a way that fits your life, with lessons designed for how you learn best. Every session focuses on real-life Portuguese you can use immediately, guided by an expert tutor who keeps you motivated and on track.
How Lighthouse tutoring works…
Simple, flexible, and completely tailored to you. Every lesson is designed around your goals, so you can learn Portuguese in a way that fits your life and builds real confidence.
1. TELL US YOUR GOALS
We’ll start with a short conversation to understand what you want to achieve, whether it’s improving your conversation skills, preparing for CIPLE, or mastering Portuguese for work. From there, we’ll match you with a tutor who fits your style and objectives.
2. LEARN YOUR WAY
Your tutor will design a personalized plan just for you. Lessons can take place online or in person and are focused on the topics and situations most relevant to your life in Portugal.
3. PRACTICE & PROGRESS
You’ll receive immediate feedback, clear guidance, and regular progress updates. Each session builds naturally on the last, so you can see and feel your improvement over time.
Private lessons are a great fit for people looking for structure and support, but with flexibility. With your tutor’s full attention, every session is about your progress, not keeping up with a group.
