Professor de Português certificado com mais de 7 anos de experiência. I'm Rafael. My pedagogical approach integrates contemporary methodologies such as Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) to deliver dynamic, customized lessons aligned with your specific objectives, whether for business communication, travel preparation, or certification exams like CELPE-Bras. - My classes are conducted via Zoom. Our materials will be available on Google Drive and will be updated weekly with homework assignments. I hold a degree in Linguistics from the Federal University of Bahia. My methodology integrates the most current research-backed techniques in second language acquisition, including Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), which prioritize meaningful, real-world communication and authentic language use. I have three kinds of classes: 1) The Portuguese Course - In this model, you are independent and responsible for getting ready before the meeting. I'll send the documents before the class. 2) Classes for CELPE-Bras (Brazilian Portuguese proficiency exam) - In this model, we study the CELPE-Bras exam and its purpose. 3) Free-dynamic classes - We'll work with topics and discuss them; the goal is more conversation and pronunciation.

I have taken quite a few classes with Rafael by now and he is still a wonderful teacher who doesn’t only know a lot about the linguistic part put also history and can explain the roots of Brazilian culture. Furthermore he has excellent movie recommendations! Much appreciated :) obrigado!

Rafael's lesson are not only educational but also fun. His lessons are well structured and the topic of each lesson is adjusted to my personal interests. Rafael is patient and open and motivates me to talk a lot using a wide range of vocabulary of the various topics. Additionally he explains grammar, phonetics and vocabulary well and gives great recommendations for books, videos and films to further immerse oneself in portuguese. Overall would highly recommend

Rafael has helped me realize how much my Portuguese has actually grown. His lessons go far beyond basic grammar and conversation. He challenges me to discuss more complex topics, express my ideas clearly, and use Portuguese in ways I didn’t even realize I was capable of. I’ve gained a lot of confidence and highly recommend him!
