Testimonials
I've been taking Portuguese classes with Sandra for 9 months and every lesson is extraordinary. Sandra's unconventional teaching methods, like singing songs, make learning about the country's history, traditions, and cuisine fascinating. I highly recommend Sandra for anyone wanting to learn Portuguese and explore this magnificent country's magic."

Friends recommended Sandra to us, a woman with solid experience in teaching Portuguese to foreigners in Portugal. Her innate ability to detect a person's difficulties made it possible to remove blockages and progress quickly without stress."

About me
Olá!
I'm Sandra, a native of Portugal with a background in education, theatre, circus, and history. One of my most exciting adventures was performing in Northern France with a troupe that included Cirque du Soleil artists—an unforgettable experience.🎪
In 2006, I moved to the sunny Algarve to manage a private school, teaching Portuguese language and culture to the foreign community.
In 2011, I returned to Lisbon and took a break from teaching to work at a multinational company. After more than a decade, I left the corporate world, and in early 2024, I launched Português Connect.
🎯 My mission is to promote the Portuguese language and culture globally, helping foreigners feel connected to the Portuguese community.
🌍 My goal, as an Educator in European Portuguese Language & Culture, is to make learning about the Portuguese language, history, traditions, and gastronomy a fun and interactive experience for foreigners living in Portugal or those abroad interested in exploring this wonderful culture.
✨Count on me to make you feel more and more at home in Portugal 🏡
I understand that making a change can be challenging, and I want to ensure each of my students receives the support they deserve.
Because of this, I can only accept a limited number of new students each month.
I genuinely believe this opportunity can change your life in Portugal, and I would love for you to be a part of it.
