👋 Olá! I’m Rodrigo — a native Portuguese tutor from São Paulo, Brazil, currently based in Santiago, Chile.
I’m here to help you speak Portuguese with confidence, whether your goal is to:
🌍 Travel | 👨💼 Work professionally | 🎓 Pass a language test | 👪 Support your child | 💬 Enjoy real conversations!
📚 I’m passionate about languages and cultures. I speak English and Spanish fluently, and I’m currently learning Japanese (A2). I’m also a musician and play shamisen, a traditional Japanese instrument—an interest influenced by São Paulo’s vibrant Japanese community.

Rodrigo is a very helpful and patient teacher. He encourages me to talk as much as I can, guiding me along the way on correct pronunciation, grammar and expressions. Thanks Rodrigo for another great lesson. Looking forward to the next!
