It's rare to find a professor who truly cares about their students like Pedro. He is attentive and ensures everyone understands a topic before moving on. He creates a positive learning environment and encourages group work and speaking in Portuguese. His was the only class that quarter that I was sad to miss when I was sick. I 100% recommend!

Pedro is easily one of the best professors I've had! He was incredibly understanding and very patient with everyone in our class and worked really hard to make sure we all did well. Definitely hoping to take more classes with him in the future.

My favorite professor in UCSB, he knows how to be a good teacher for students! I feel very lucky to have him!!

Pedro is the best Spanish teacher at UCSB. He is very caring of his students and makes an incredible effort to help everyone. He is truly a blessing to the university and is a remarkable human being. Take a class with him and you will see there is still hope for humanity. Pedro if you're seeing this: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUCH A GREAT QUARTER

Pedro is not only a great teacher but also a great mentor who will be accessible inside and outside the classroom. He will go out of his way to accommodate you. He is truly interested in learning the language. I highly recommend his class if you want to learn the language from a native speaker.

Pedro is a true gem at UCSB! He is the best language professor I've ever had. I know that during the time I was in his class, I became very comfortable with my Portuguese speaking skills. If I could give Pedro 6 stars, I would. He does give a bit of homework at times, but in the end, it is beneficial for us students. He's an amazing teacher!
