On behalf of an English couple living in Almancil, Algarve, does anyone know of a teacher who would give Pt lessons on a one-to one basis, and living either Vila Moura, Loulé or Almancil? Thanks so much.

Dra. Louise Lijmbach
8100 Loulé
Algarve Portugal
mob. 969 718 980

Manuela da Silva Guarda
Multiclínica do Algarve - E.N. 125 - Benfarras
8125-017 Quarteira
Algarve Portugal
tel. 289 366 266
mob. 918 784 221

This one says it's for Dutch people, but maybe he is also able to teach English people:

mob. (+351) 919 499 994
E-mail: [email protected] Web: http://www.kickme.to/quinta

This lady is English and teaches English, but maybe she knows a good Portuguese teacher:
Jill Warnes

I hope this helps!

Thanks so much Gabriela, the problem is finding a really good teacher. Lots of us speak both English and Pt but we are not necessarily able to impart our knowledge! But thank you for your ideas, will pass on to my friends. Ciao! Sue.
