How we start
The first session is not a lesson. It is a diagnosis.
We establish your real starting level, the objective, and the hours you can actually keep. The teacher and the plan come from that — not from page one of a textbook.
Language lessons are online, A1 to C1, in small groups or one-to-one. We prepare the CAPLE exams for Portuguese. Technical training is in person, with proper equipment, at our facilities in Trofa.

Testimonials
Students who learned with us.
Yasuhiru Kishida
We, a family of three, took a customized 150-hour A1/A2 Portuguese program with EduSetPT. I contacted EduSetPT at the beginning of April and requested a customized course to be completed by the end of August. Our request was not easy because we are in the U.S. Eastern and Western Time zones and because we are available only in weekends. Ms. Soares of EduSetPT quickly found a teacher for us so that we started the first class before the end of April. We took three-hour classes on Saturdays and Sundays and two-hour classes on Mondays. Our teacher, Ms. Monteiro taught us with passion and answered our rather difficult questions. She is also a very nice and friendly person. We met her family in Portugal and had a great time over dinner. We enjoyed learning the basic grammar and vocabulary. We also enjoyed learning the culture Portugal as well. Overall, I think that we made the right choice with EduSetPT because it provides flexible programs, it has good teachers, and its price is reasonable.

PLA @ Eduset.pt has been an excellent experience. The one-on-one format means every session is focused on what I actually need, and Tery, my trainer, is a genuinely good teacher — she explains things clearly, corrects me in a way that actually sticks, and adjusts the pace when something isn’t landing. The flexibility on timing has been a huge plus too: she’s quick and accommodating with scheduling, so classes fit around my week instead of the other way around. If you’re looking for Portuguese lessons, I’d recommend PLA @ Eduset.pt and Tery without hesitation.
A family of five
EduSet.pt provided our family of five with the ideal, high-value setup for learning Portuguese — a flexible private class where, over 45 dynamic sessions with Tery featuring interactive games and rich cultural insights, we’ve gone from basic greetings to significantly improved comprehension and vocabulary as I work toward full speaking confidence.
What Our Students Say About Us
EduSetPT was amazing and not only helped me learn Portuguese but helped me in various aspects. Through EduSetPT, we got to communicate with others more effectively and get to share our thoughts without being shy. We got to learn different ideas. It helped us speak better Portuguese. The best thing I liked about this Portuguese course is that I got to meet people from various cultures and backgrounds and got to learn a lot from them. EduSetPT built up an excellent Portuguese learning environment for us. Instructor was encouraging, kind and willing to talk with me anytime, which helped me a lot. Instructor taught me in various ways every day. I was given different topics to discuss in class. Teachers also gave us useful suggestions after discussion. These all enabled me to melt into Portuguese life much easier. I highly recommended the Portuguese A2 level course organized by EduSetPT.
During our class sessions I found our teacher very engaging, friendly, informative and professional. She managed to teach us Portuguese grammar and pronunciation in a way that was never boring. I also enjoyed her method of incorporating Portuguese culture and ways of living. I learnt so much during this time and can recommend it to any one that is truly interested in learning the language and culture.
The professionalism and curriculum of Eduset perfectly fit my needs and style of learning. The teacher was very engaging and helpful for every level of student in my class. We learned a lot and got a lot of practice speaking which I really needed. I am now more confident trying to communicate with my Portuguese friends and neighbors. Muito Obrigada.
I completed my 150-hour Portuguese course with the Centro Qualifica in partnership with EduSetPT and I enjoyed it so much.
The learning course is very well-structured. In the first part of a lesson, we do some theory and practice pronunciation of the language, then we take a break - tea-time or lunch-time (depending on what time you are in the world), and lastly, we end learning about the rich Portuguese culture, foods and traditions to gain a deeper understanding of the unique country of Portugal. We even learnt to sing the national anthem, A Portuguesa, which was lots of fun. I’m so grateful to have had such a fascinating group of peer students and a brilliant and passionate teacher.
It took me a while to find out a suitable language center. EdusetP´s course is right fit with my timing and needs. Different with my thinking, the teacher not only trained the conventional lessons but also let us get more understandings about Portugal. What we can remember after the course are the valuable experiences and stories about the Portugal country, culture, festives, songs, ways of living, food, ... very unique! Lastly, structure of the class (half lesson, half entertainment) made us feel more comfortable to complete a long day class at different time zones 🙂 Highly recommended!
