Tutoring + coachingThe subject and how to study it
Braga or onlineWith us or from home
For parents
Does this sound familiar?
The night before every test, nerves take over the whole house.
You've tried tutoring before. It helped with that one test, then everything went back to how it was.
It's hardly ever a lack of ability. It's almost always a lack of method.
We don't just put out fires.
We teach how to study.
Most tutoring is about getting through Thursday's test. We help with that test too, but what we really want is for your child to know what to do every time they sit down to study. With a clear method, at their own pace, and with someone beside them until they can do it alone.
Traditional tutoring
- You study for next week's test
- You memorise it, then forget it straight after
- Next term, it's back to square one
- The student always needs someone beside them
Arte de Ensinar
- You study to learn, not just for the test
- You understand the material, so it sticks
- Study habits carry over from one year to the next
- The student learns to study without help
What we do
We help with the subject and with the way you study
The subject gets you through this test. The method gets you through the next ones. So we do both.
Personal tutoring
For everyday questions, homework and that test coming up soon. We explain calmly, until it makes sense.
- Primary school to university
- At each student's pace, never rushed
- With us or online
What makes us different
Study coaching
For students who study a lot and get little out of it. We teach them to organise their time, use techniques that work and walk into tests feeling calmer.
- A study plan they can actually stick to
- Techniques to summarise, memorise and revise
- Fewer nerves the night before a test
Our method
How we work, step by step
We get to know the student
We talk, we observe and we find out where the difficulty really lies.
We set goals together
Clear, realistic goals, agreed with the student and the parents.
We build a tailored method
Every student learns differently, and so does the method.
We explain until it clicks
Calmly, with examples, and no rush to move on.
We practise what's needed
Exercises chosen for each student's weak spots.
We're there all the way
Every week, every test, every step forward.
You'll always know how it's going.
Supporting a student means talking to the family too.
- Progress reportA short summary after every lesson and a report at the end of each month.
- Just send a messageA question mid-week? We're on WhatsApp.
- End-of-term chatTogether we look at what went well and what's worth adjusting.
Our beliefs
What we believe in
Method, not luck
Studying well can be learned. It isn't down to luck or talent.
Understand, don't memorise
What you understand isn't forgotten the day after the test.
Independence
Our proudest moment is when a student no longer needs us.
Personal care
We know every student by name, by personality and by the way they learn.
Who it's for
From the first spelling test to the final exam
We work with students from primary school to university. Some come to catch up, some to consolidate, some to go further. The method adapts to each one.
About us
Some students arrive convinced they're “just not good at it”. Almost always, all they're missing is someone to teach them how to study and to believe in them. Our favourite moment is when they tell us: “I can do this.” That's when everything starts to change.

Where are you?

How do online lessons work?
By video call, with the same method and the same attention. Very handy for older students and busy weeks.
How can I follow my child's progress?
You get a short summary after every lesson and a report at the end of each month. At the end of each term, we talk about how things are going. In between, just send us a WhatsApp message.
How much is the first session?
A little less than a regular lesson: €5 below the hourly price. It's how we get to know your child and understand where the difficulty lies.
Do you work with students with ADHD, dyslexia or other learning difficulties?
Yes. Many of these students mostly need routine, organisation and patience, and that's exactly what coaching works on. Before we start, we talk to you to understand what works best.
My child has just moved to Portugal. Can you help?
Yes. We help with Portuguese as a second language (PLNM) and every other subject.
Do you run holiday or intensive exam programmes?
Yes. Intensive preparation for the Portuguese national exams, and holiday support to catch up or get ahead.
Can you help choose a study path in Year 9 or a degree in Year 12?
Yes. We talk with the student about what they enjoy and what they're good at, and help the family think the options through calmly.
Shall we get started?
Tell us what's going on with your child. We reply quickly and, together, we'll find the best way forward. No commitment.
