My name is Rafhael, I am 25 years old.
I have over 5 years of experience teaching languages to Brazilians and foreigners, teaching Portuguese, English, and Spanish on various platforms and at a language school in Brazil.
I have received
over 100 five-star ratings on the platforms where I work and have taught
students from more than 50 different countries in the past 5 years.
My first degree was in
Executive Secretaryship. I am currently completing my
second degree in Portuguese-English Letters and plan to start after this degree my postgraduate studies in teaching Portuguese as a foreign language .
I am in the last semester of the technical course in Regional and South American Tourism Guide too.
I was born and live in São Paulo, Brazil. I have been studying languages autonomously and self-taught since I was 14 years old.
My first job was at a hotel where I started using English for the first time. Later,
I took on a volunteer project teaching Portuguese to Venezuelan refugees, helping students develop a solid foundation in Portuguese and communicate effectively in their daily lives.
I am passionate about cultural diversity. I love reading books on literature, romance, science fiction, and more.
I also enjoy reading mangas, magazines, and comics. I love participating in cultural events, including Italian, Japanese, Korean, and others.
I am a beginner cosplayer, and I strive to travel and explore as many places as possible to share all this knowledge with my students.
In my classes, I use the same methodology that I used to learn more than three different languages and also applied with numerous students who achieved fluency in Portuguese. It's the method used by language immersion polyglots. I focus on practicing reading sentences in context as much as possible to aid in natural and spontaneous memorization.
I create and use a wide range of exercises and activities during the lessons to make them dynamic and enjoyable, sparking the students' interest in learning and fostering a love for the language.
I also try to share my cultural experiences here in Brazil and the characteristics of this vast and beloved country whenever possible to generate more interest in students to travel and explore Brazilian culture and its cultural diversity.
If you have friends or acquaintances here in Brazil or elsewhere in the world who speak Portuguese and want to communicate with them in their language, this is a great opportunity to start learning the language. Even if you only want to read books, watch movies, soap operas, series, or consume other content in Portuguese, my classes will greatly assist in this learning process.
Book a lesson with me to experience my methodology in practice and embark on this beautiful world of languages, aiming to reach fluency in Portuguese as quickly as possible! See you soon! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me!
