I've been taking English classes with Lúcio for about two months and I really like the classes. He is very patient, and I had a lot of difficulty speaking English but I've developed very well with him. The classes are practical and that has helped me a lot. I also think the price is fair for the work he's doing.

I did Portuguese lessons with them for about a year, and I had a really good experience. The admin side were very organized and helpful when I had questions, and the teacher I had was really nice and very personable. I really enjoyed my lessons because it was not just about learning grammar and punctuation, it was actually based on my interests and practical, useful conversation skills. I would definitely recommend them, and I would go back in different financial circumstances.

I took an online French class with Katharine and her team, and it was a great experience. She was very direct about what I wanted, which was conversation, and that really helped me. I was recently in France and used some things I learned in class, and it was excellent. I would have liked to continue, but I couldn't.

Frequently Asked Questions

What expats want to know before hiring english teachers in Lisbon.

Are there English-speaking english teachers in Lisbon?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring english teachers in Lisbon?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.
What should I avoid when hiring english teachers in Lisbon?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I explain what I need if my Portuguese is limited?
A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.
How do you say english teachers in Portuguese?
In Portuguese, english teachers are usually called professores de ingles. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.
How do I find english teachers I can trust in Lisbon?
Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.
