My favorite professor on the UCSB campus. Pedro Craveiro goes above and beyond to help his students. He is caring, accommodating, and passionate about teaching. At the time of writing, I have taken 4 classes with him and I will be to taking more. Each class has been engaging, insightful, and fun. I could not recommend him enough.

I previously took 125A & words cannot describe how incredible Pedro is. It's clear he is passionate about teaching his students & finding ways to engage them. There's lots of variety in the weekly assignments to break up monotony, encouraging people to get creative with showing their understanding of the material. Very detailed + helpful feedback!

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

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!

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.

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!!

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!
