Rafhael Rodrigues da Silva

My name is Rafhael, and I have over 5 years of experience teaching languages. I have a degree in Executive Secretarial Studies from the University of Technology of São Paulo - FATEC. I am in the last semester of the technical course for Regional and South American Tourism Guide. I was born and live in São Paulo, Brazil. I have been studying languages since I was 14 years old, independently and self-taught. My first job was at a hotel, where I began to use English and Spanish for the first time. Then I took on a volunteer project teaching Portuguese to Venezuelan refugees. I helped students from the very beginning to develop a good foundation in Portuguese and be able to communicate in everyday life and defend themselves in the language. I am passionate about cultural diversity. I love reading literature, romance, science fiction, and other books. I also really enjoy reading manga, magazines, and comics. I have over 5 years of experience teaching foreigners from different parts of the world how to learn Portuguese and Spanish. In my classes, I use the same methodology that I used to learn more than three different languages and that I have also used with countless students who have achieved results with Portuguese, many of whom are currently living in Brazil and speaking fluently. I also worked at a Brazilian language school teaching Portuguese, Spanish and English. I learned a lot about teaching methodology and I use this knowledge during my language classes. I work with the method used by polyglots for language immersion. I try to practice reading sentences as much as possible, always in context, to help in the natural and spontaneous memorization process. I try to create and use the most varied exercises and activities during classes to make it more dynamic and fun, making the student interested in learning and developing a taste for the language. I try to share my cultural experiences here in Brazil and the characteristics of this huge and beloved country whenever possible to generate more interest in students. If you have friends or acquaintances here in Brazil or in another part of 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 just want to read books, watch movies, soap operas, series or consume other types of content in Portuguese or Spanish, my classes will help you a lot. Book a class to learn my methodology in practice and start in this beautiful world of languages and be able to reach fluency in Portuguese as quickly as possible! See you soon!
