I live in Barranquilla and finding a native Portuguese teacher who offered virtual classes was not easy. Someone recommended Nilton and from day one he created a very comfortable environment to learn. The classes are dynamic, personalized and focused on each student's goals. I totally recommend him.
I have been a student at Clases de Portugues for less than a year and I can say I am completely fluent. Thanks to my job I have daily meetings with people from Brazil and I can confirm I speak fluently and understand everything. The teaching approach is great, they take the time to prepare your class around your topics of interest. Totally recommended.
I have been taking classes with Prof. Nilton since January 2025 and by May 2026 I can say I speak Portuguese with confidence. He is also a person of integrity, he has never missed a class without giving advance notice and always arrives on time. If you are looking to truly learn Portuguese, with Nilton you will achieve it.
The classes with Nilton exceeded my expectations. From the start I felt the method was designed for me, with real examples and topics I care about. Within a few weeks I started understanding Portuguese conversations that had seemed impossible before.
Excellent teacher. The classes are enjoyable, well structured and I always learn something new. Nilton has a great ability to explain complex things simply. I feel confident speaking Portuguese thanks to his method.
A very good experience learning Portuguese with Clases Portugues. The practical approach and personalized attention make learning much faster and more effective than other methods I had tried before. I recommend it without hesitation.

We recommend starting with the Free Mini Course to test our method, then moving to the Full Course (40+ classes, A1 to B2) combined with 1:1 live mentoring with a native Brazilian teacher. This hybrid format is the fastest way to build vocabulary and phonetics oriented to business meetings, since it combines structured practice with personalized real-time correction.
The time you need depends on your current level of Portuguese, your previous experience with the exam format, and your certification goal. As a reference, a student who already has a solid foundation in Portuguese (level B1) typically needs several months of focused, specific preparation. We offer a specific CELPE-Bras preparation course with mock exams, written and oral practice, and feedback based on the exam's official evaluation criteria.
Our method focuses from the first class on Brazilian phonetics, false cognates between English and Portuguese, and the structures that most often cause confusion for English speakers. Because our teachers are native to Brazil and know exactly where English speakers tend to slip up, correction is immediate and consistent, preventing those habits from becoming permanent.
