Murillo Costa

Even after taking a year-long break, we were able to pick up right where we left off. Every lesson is personalized to perfection, focusing on exactly what I need to improve but in a way that is fun and engaging. Obrigada Murillo!

There are many friendly Brazilian teachers who will give you great conversational classes so you can practice your intermediate level: you are going to learn things you may or may not forget, but it will be turning in circles, remaining in your comfort zone, repeating what you know, including the deeply entrenched habit-forming mistakes. Then there is Murillo: he is going to make you break through your comfort zone of repetition. You will discover new subject matters, new colloquial expressions and much more. He remembers what you learnt and should know; once you make a mistake, he won’t correct you by giving you the right version (which is usually pointless), but he makes you stop and makes you try to remember yourself. He makes you get rid of those deeply rooted errors and works on your pronunciation, so that we sound a little closer to what real Brazilians sound like. In a nutshell: Murillo is an excellent teacher and I fully recommend him. He has made a big difference to me.

What a great first lesson! We had plenty of opportunities to speak, Murillo was very patient, and explained concepts clearly. Highly recommend!

Murillo is very patient and kind in his mannerisms. His classes feel very natural and fun because we talk about so many interesting topics and use different learning materials. He is also very good at sensing what the student needs and making adjusting according to your weaknesses and strengths.

Always good to see a brilliant teacher like Murillo! We spoke mostly about tourism and traveling today — looking forward to seeing him again and wishing him safe travels in the meantime! Muito obrigada, Murillo

Sempre um prazer. Obrigada, Murillo :)
