As air travel becomes a part of people's everyday lives, places around the world, once considered virtually inaccessible to Europeans, such as Machupichu in Peru or the Foz de Iguaçu in Brazil, are now regular holiday destinations.

"I have been studying Portuguese with Josie for 4 months and am enjoying it enormously. Josie has a warm and friendly teaching style and explains new words and grammar in a way that is easy to understand. Her lessons are professionally prepared, and supported with lots of authentic audio/visual materials. I am making excellent progress and would recommend Josie to anyone who would like to benefit from one-to-one tuition in Portuguese". - Mr. Michael Wheatly, Nuneaton |

We found Josie on www.thetutorpages.co.uk. Josie travels to us to provide a weekly lesson. She is always punctual and creates tailor-made lesson plans weekly. She is very creative with the activities that she prepares using a variety of teaching styles and ensures that learning is appropriate to our needs. We have only had 10 lessons so far but we feel that the difference in our understanding is huge. We definitely recommend Josie and look forward to continuing our lessons with her. - Lara, Neil and Mindy, Rugby |

We have been attending lessons with Josie at her house for the last 6 months. The lessons have been enjoyable and good fun and we have made excellent progress. Her methods are imaginative and thoroughly prepared. I would highly recommend Josie to anyone who wants one to one Portuguese lessons. - Kevin and Karen Shorrocks, Rugby |

I began studying with Josie after I had decided to expand my business into Brazil. After two courses of 10 lessons with her, I felt confident enough in my communication skills in Portuguese to go and meet new clients there without an interpreter. I want to thank Josie for her commitment, her professionalism and her ability to make studying fun.

Josie teaches with great enthusiasm. Her lessons have been organised and well structured, but also varied, engaging and taught at a pace that is right for me. My short time with Josie has been a lot of fun, and sparked a real passion to keep on learning. - Thomas Field, Coventry |

Josie é uma professora excelente! Josie is able to adapt her teaching style so that both my husband and I can learn together which is an achievement as we both learn very differently! She has made the materials relevant to our interests so that our lessons are interesting and fun. She has also been flexible in our delivery times week to week which has been important and why we took private tuition. Obrigada Josie!
