My name is 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. Before the classes begin, please fill out this form. It will help me tailor the classes exclusively to your goals and personal interests:
https://forms.gle/R4wZPghvcm4me5Fo8Me as a Teacher
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. My lessons & teaching style
My classes are dynamic, flexible, but structured. I believe it is important that learners feel confident and comfortable, so my role is to help you reach that place. The content of my classes are all unique and based upon the CEFR.
I have three kinds of classes:
The Portuguese Course - In this model you are independent and responsible for to get ready before the meeting. I'll send the documents before the class (The audios and also the activities).
Classes for CELPE-Bras (Brazilian Portuguese proficiency exam) - In this model, we study the CELPE-Bras exam and its purpose.
Free-dynamic classes - We'll work with topics and discuss them, the goal is more conversation and pronunciation.My teaching material

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!

Learning a language always means navigating uncertain terrain: you lack the words, you're vaguely aware that you're constantly mangling the grammar, you fail to understand things you feel you should understand... It's no small feat, then, for a teacher to ease some of that insecurity and unblock you, and I'm happy to report that Rafael managed to do exactly that, while also coming prepared with a clear plan and structured material to move things forward on a more technical level.

This was my second lesson with Rafael and I like his style of teaching very much! He has prepared topics, writes everything down, is very open in the conversations and understands when I don’t know words and switch to english. I‘m gonna book another lesson right away!
