Professional structure. Human warmth.
We work with the rigour of a professional system and the attention of someone who knows your child by name. Serious structure, without losing the human warmth every family deserves.
Diagnosis first
Before any session, we identify each student's real gaps, through questions, tests, and attentive listening.
Personalised plan
Every student has a unique support plan, with concrete goals and regular reviews.
Continuous follow-up
Regular reports for parents, covering content, but also attitude, motivation, and progress.
Guidance for the future
From primary school to university, every stage prepares the next. We never work just for the next test.
What makes us different
Small by choice
Every session is prepared for that specific student, with personalisation as the working method, session after session.
Bilingual by nature
Portuguese and English, with the same quality. We serve Portuguese and international families equally well.
Direct access, always
Direct communication, fast replies, and one point of contact who knows your child by name.
How it works
From the first message to the first progress report.

We're a new name in Cascais, and we'd rather be transparent about what we guarantee than make up numbers.

A written summary of the student's progress: content, attitude, and next goals.
Reply within 2 hours

Academic rigour + wellbeing
A student's confidence matters as much as their grade. We work on both, always.
Founded by someone who knows the system and knows the student
NOVADU was born from the belief that the education system needs translators: professionals who understand what the school asks for, but who always look at the student first.
With Montessori training and more than ten years of tutoring experience, Romina Delgado created NOVADU to be that bridge between the student and the school, between the expat family and the Portugal that welcomes them, between today's grades and the future the student dreams of.
- Professional tutor for over 10 years, specialised in exam preparation
- AMI-certified Montessori 0-3 Guide (2022)
- AMI-certified Montessori Assistant 3-6 (2024) and 6-12 (2025)
