Before teaching, we seek to understand.
Every child learns differently. That's why, before choosing a method or a pace, we start by getting to know the child in front of us. Learning makes far more sense when it starts from the child, not from a one-size-fits-all formula.
Diagnosis first
Before any session, we identify each child's real gaps, through questions, tests, and attentive listening.
Personalised plan
Every student has a unique support plan, with 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
One method, every stage
From primary school to university, the Montessori method accompanies every stage of a child's growth, adapted to the moment.
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 the child by name.
Our method adapts to how children learn at each stage of development. In the early years, we help each student understand concepts before memorising them, exploring the "why" behind things and building connections that make learning logical and lasting. As they grow, the focus shifts to developing reasoning, critical thinking, a study method, and the ability to apply knowledge to new situations. At every stage, the adult creates a prepared environment, guides when needed, asks questions instead of giving answers, and steps in only as much as necessary for the student to develop the ability to think, understand, and learn on their own.

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, the founder 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.
