Their service is professional and warm, and their price is competitive in the market. We have successfully applied to the school we want. It's a pleasure to work with them.

Nathalie was very thorough and provided great insight into which schools would be the most appropriate for my children. She was incredibly helpful with contacting the schools and the enrollment process in general. Her knowledge of Lisbon area schools, as well as the administration, is invaluable. Nathalie simplified this process, which helped alleviate the stress involved with choosing a new school. Thank you, Nathalie, for all of your help!

We wanted to visit a few selected schools while vacationing in Portugal, but there are thousands of options and we didn't know where to even begin. Someone recommended that we speak with a local Educational Consultant, Nathalie, as we have very specific academic requirements.From the initial contact it was apparent that Nathalie is an expert in her field. She has visited all the schools in person and has firsthand knowledge of schools' culture, academic ranking, and more.Nathalie first provided us with a detailed questionnaire, and quickly narrowed our search down to four options. A few days later we had a video call with her where she explained why she selected these schools and how they differ from each other. I appreciated that she was very honest and didn't sugarcoat anything.She then facilitated an introduction between us and the schools' admissions so that we could schedule our tours. She even went as far as to arrange for us to meet with the heads of two of the schools.Thanks to Nathalie, we went from feeling lost when reading online suggestions and conflicting opinions about dozens of schools, to knowing exactly what our first (and second) choice will be if/when we make the move. Her recommendations were spot-on for all the right reasons, and her communication and follow-up were timely and very helpful indeed.Nathalie has my highest recommendation for her invaluable service, and a heartfelt Thanks!

We are incredibly grateful to Nathalie for her invaluable support throughout the school admissions process. She guided us through every step with professionalism, care, and deep expertise. Nathalie held several video calls with us, answered all of our questions with patience, and clarified the differences between the British and American education systems, which helped us make informed decisions.She provided extensive assistance in communicating with admissions offices, scheduling interviews and testing appointments, and ensuring everything was handled smoothly. Thanks to her, we also found an excellent English tutor who significantly improved our child’s language skills and test performance.Our communication with the schools was efficient and stress-free largely due to Nathalie’s involvement. Most importantly, our child was accepted to all of the schools we applied to.What we appreciated the most was the final consultation, where Nathalie offered a clear, objective perspective that helped us confidently choose between two outstanding options.We wholeheartedly recommend Nathalie as a knowledgeable expert and a genuinely kind, responsible, and supportive person. Working with her made this entire journey not only successful but also enjoyable.

Our family used Nathalie’s services while still living in the States trying to navigate schools abroad. The process can seem overwhelming at times, but with Nathalie’s assistance, we were able to successfully apply and gain acceptance to the school we really want our kids to attend. Her wealth of knowledge, kindness, and commitment to family success make her services invaluable. We highly recommend Tendoria to any family navigating schools in Portugal!

I would like to share my excellent experience with Nathalie, an educational consultant who provided invaluable assistance in helping us choose the best schools for our children in Portugal. Nathalie’s professionalism and extensive experience were evident throughout the entire process. She has a deep and thorough knowledge of the schools we were considering and gave us clear, insightful guidance tailored to our specific needs. Her expertise in navigating the Portuguese educational system made a significant difference in ensuring we made well-informed decisions. We are extremely grateful for her support and highly recommend her services to anyone seeking advice in this area.

Navigating different education systems—IB, American, British, and more—can be overwhelming, but Nathalie made the entire process seamless. Her deep expertise and strategic guidance helped us clarify what we truly wanted in a school for our children to thrive. She stayed on top of every detail, ensuring we met all admission requirements on time. Without a doubt, her support was one of the most valuable investments we made in our move to Portugal. If you’re looking for an exceptional educational consultant, I can’t recommend her highly enough!

We worked with Nathalie at the basic school search level, and it was a great experience. I had already done extensive research online, but it became clear as we talked that some of the schools' websites/marketing were...aspirational.Nathalie provided valuable insights into the teaching style/quality, school culture, applied academic supports, the admissions testing, which was not at all on my radar. These contributions were invaluable.I left the session with a list of top three schools--with application strategies--and total peace of mind dropping the other schools off of our list. I'm very happy with Nathalie's work to date, and would highly recommend her.I wish that I had known about her/her services at the beginning of our search. It would have saved us a significant amount of time and money!

We are so grateful to Nathalie. She helped us explore and understand the educational landscape in Portugal. The insights we gained were invaluable and we feel empowered to make the right decisions for our children and our family based on her expertise.

We love working with Tendoria, and more specifically with Nathalie! She tries to understand well what we are looking for and to deliver the information we need. She is very quick to respond and goes above and beyond what we are asking for. I have asked many side questions (which aren’t really part of the service) on which she answers with no hesitation! I definitely recommend it! We need to make the full circle and I will update my review!
