Pedro Craveiro is an awesome Portuguese teacher. He makes every class entertaining. I took this class for my major and I highly recommend it.

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!

Had Pedro for PORT125A and he is awesome. He just wants you to succeed and get something out of his courses that you can apply to your specific major. Highly recommend any of his random elective classes.

Span 1 is one of my favorite classes in the 2022 fall quarter. It was the first formal experience in learning Spanish as my third-language in college level. Prof. Pedro really does great in encouraging students in speaking Spanish and helping us to understand the context. His classroom is so interesting and super supportive. He's very patient, too!

Loved him, wonderful instructor

One of the best professors at UCSB! He makes learning fun and interactive, while also building a relationship with each student making him one of the most understanding instructors here. Type of professor to reach out and extend a help if he notices you falling behind. Excellent teacher and makes me want to visit Portugal one day.

I honestly walked into the class to fulfill a requirement but ended up interested in trying to become fluent in Portuguese because of Pedro. He always made sure we were seen as humans first then students and it reflected in the way he taught. He not only made the class fun but had great material to help us learn.

Pedro was an awesome professor!! He was really caring and wanted us all to do well. Tests are simple if you pay attention and he gives lots of extra chances for you to do well

I highly recommend taking his class for 1-3!!! Pedro is a graduate student from Porto, Portugal, so he is very knowledge about the course material. I took Portuguese 1-3 (a full year) with Pedro and it was one of my favorite experiences at UCSB. It is a language class so there is a decent amount of work but he is always available to help!

Pedro is a really easy-going professor who cares about his students progress in the Portuguese language. If you show effort, he will do as much as he can do make sure you succeed in the class. Hes very friendly and passionate about teaching so dont hesitate to utilize his office hours or ask him questions in class! Overall one of the best profs.

Make sure you go to every lecture and do every assignment. very approachable and understands that you have other classes as well. always available and accommodates with any circumstance.

I've been taught a few languages by a handful of different people, and Pedro is by far the best: most effective, most caring, most approachable, most fun. There's a lot of work, so you need to do a little a day. He pushes you to keep up and get ahead but is accommodating to whatever trouble you may be having as long as you let him know about it.

Pedro is one of my all time favorite professors. Very understanding and approachable even when the class becomes tough. Always available for his students. Makes class creatively fun. Be ready to step outside your comfort zone bc he makes sure every student talks in class. Overall, I definitely recommend taking him!

Pedro is an amazing teacher! Very approachable. You should take him if you really wanna learn Portuguese. Relaxed, but demanding. He was always available to help me!

Pedro is the kindest professor I've had. He goes out of his way to help you learn and I felt respected as a person. I'm able to have short conversations in Spanish now and it's definitely because of this class. The only parts that really were difficult were the homework assignments, which he sadly has no control over.

Pedro is a great professor. I enjoyed taking his class and will take it again next quarter. He wants to see everyone succeed. I definitely recommend taking a course with him. There is always homework but it isn't too bad. The only thing that I did not like was having to pay for the online textbook and the lingua meeting sessions.

Pedro is incredibly kind and he really cares about his students! The assignments definitely require a lot of effort, but I can confidently say my Spanish has improved quite a lot over the quarter and the people I've spoken to agree. 100% recommend rearranging your schedule to take his classes!

Dr. Craveiro is one of the most amazing professor at UCSB. He is really approachable and also wise. His class is really interesting and always full of joy. If anyone has enrolled into one of his class, they are LUCKY.

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 teaches in a way that allows you to fully understand the context/grammar of Spanish, and get you EXCITED & PASSIONATE about the language and its culture. He truly wants his students to succeed and his teaching is very organized with clear instructions. He is so kind and approachable, receiving feedback from him really allowed me to improve!

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 amazing! I have been in three of his classes and he definitely supports and cares for every student. Make sure you do all the assignments and have a good communication with him in case you have questions or concerns. He really motivates you to do well in the class. He is one of the reasons why I'm doing a Portuguese major!respectable &fun
