Classes

Rodrigo is the best! He comes incredibly prepared to every lesson and he does a ton of work outside of class to prepare materials for each lesson. He also is a great conversation partner and he makes me as a student feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend Rodrigo to anyone looking to improve their Portuguese!

I can’t say enough good things about Rodrigo. I’ve been working with him for almost six months now and he is such a terrific teacher. Always upbeat, always patient, always prepared. He is an incredibly enthusiastic cheerleader for his students. If you want to learn to speak Brazilian Portuguese, he’s your guy.

Rodrigo in a word: DYNAMIC. Upbeat and brimming with insight and info, he’s a great tutor. He’s excellent about keeping you on track and answering your questions all while establishing a solid rapport with you, the student. Definitely a smart move to book classes with him!! Your Portuguese will IMPROVE 🙂

One thing I notice about Rodrigo that sets him apart from many other teachers, in addition to his infectious enthusiasm, is his constant desire to improve, to offer more, to strive for perfection in his lessons, in order to give his students the perfect learning experience. This means that he is a really adaptable teacher who can accommodate whatever you are looking for, and that every lesson is different and challenging. I know he will be my teacher for as long as I learn Portuguese.

Rodrigo est un excellent professeur avec qui on travaille aussi bien l’oral que l’écrit. Il est toujours de bon humeur et c’est toujours un plaisir de travailler, d’échanger et même de rigoler avec lui. Je le recommande vivement pour apprendre le portugais.

I didn’t know that by picking Rodrigo, I would not only have a great teacher and someone who wanted to me to succeed soo much, but I also found a friend in the process. He is a great teacher, has great methods, is very patient and is very fun to learn with. For someone with a learning disability, like me, it requires the tutor to alter their methods of teaching, and create their own specialized classes for their student, which is what Rodrigo does for me. From beginner, to advanced, he will teach you with full dedication.

Fantastic guy with an excellent method. I feel confident moving forward in my Portuguese journey with Rodrigo’s support

If you want to learn Portuguese, you won’t find a more passionate teacher! Rodrigo really understands the language and is very fun to talk to. You will be friends with him in no time! Obg Rodrigo pelas dicas e pelos exercícios! Cada vez que a gente fala, é show! Abraço!

Rodrigo uses the method of having a natural conversation and then reviewing my mistakes and noting areas for improvement. This has helped me improve very quickly. I highly recommend that learners of Brazilian Portuguese give this method a try!

Today I participated in my first class with Rodrigo. It was very educational. Rodrigo set out his methods very clearly and helped me very well by explaining unclarities in perfect English. Overall it was a nice experience and I would definitely recommend it!

As always Rodrigo is a solid communicator and teacher….he provides confidence and new idea’s all the time

Rodrigo’s classes feel personalized to the individual. You can tell he has a passion for teaching and is interested in helping, not just to fulfill a requirement of teaching, but rather to help you individually connect with Brazilian culture and language. Essentially, he becomes your friend in Rio de Janeiro.
