Meet the Team
I'm Stan, former Head of Department at an international school with extensive experience teaching languages and leading educational travel.
After achieving proficiency in Portuguese, I moved to Porto, and quickly learned that there's a huge difference between studying a language and actually using it in real life.
My partner is Cláudia, a native Portuguese speaker with professional expertise in tourism and marketing.
Together, we combine educational leadership with local cultural knowledge to create authentic and welcoming learning experiences.
Your journey starts here
Our experiences go beyond traditional tourism — we design activities and itineraries that maximize speaking practice in authentic, real-world situations.
With an Offscript Escape, you'll return home with more than improved language skills. You'll gain cultural insights, practical confidence, and the motivation to continue your Portuguese journey.
Ready to finally break through that speaking barrier?
Real-world learning works
Like many language learners, I started with apps and textbooks. But everything changed when I stepped into Portugal and began having real conversations—with taxi drivers, in business meetings and with my partner’s family around the dinner table.
These authentic interactions didn't just improve my Portuguese; they gave me genuine confidence and helped me feel like I belong.
This is the breakthrough moment we want to create for you.
