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

Esse cara é bem maneiro. Tudo mundo deve tomar sua aula. 10/10!

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 an amazing Portuguese instructor. He cares about your learning. He makes himself available outside of class to help you. He encourages you to keep on improving by helping you with your weaknesses. He's also funny and understanding. I learned a lot in his class.

Pedro is hands down the best TA I've had during my time at UCSB. Because his courses are language classes, attendance and participation are necessary however Pedro creates an environment that makes students want to engage. Always available to assist in and out of the classroom and truly wants the best for his students at all times. Highly recommend

Pedro has been the best TA I've had at UCSB. He deeply cares about teaching and therefore expects that his students come committed and prepared to class. There are assignments almost every day and the tests are fair, you just need to study and you will do well. He encourages participation and makes students want to show up to class and learn!

Pedro (he insists you call him Pedro) is an absolute joy to have as a professor. Even though the class is 4 days a week, which may seem like a lot for some people, the sense of community in the classroom makes it worth it. I didn't need this class for my major, but this is the best decision I've made as a class to enjoy and make new friends. 10/10.

Pedro has been one of my favorite people to be taught by in my 3 years at UCSB. He is not only charismatic and funny, but he's also super helpful. He is the only TA I have had who reached out when he noticed I was struggling. He accommodates his time to fit your schedule and offers communication through personal medias as well as through email.

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.

Pedro is the most understanding person ever. He's very flexible with his office hours and homework due dates when necessary. He has to give homework almost every day but it's very easy and short if you don't procrastinate. It will also prepare you for the tests (sometimes he uses some homework exercises in the tests). Overall, a great person.

Pedro cares about his students and he understands that we have other classes and a life as well. He is relatable and makes learning a new language fun. If you are struggling he is always willing to meet in his office hours and is very accommodating with time to even meet extra hours if you need more help.

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!
