Rafael Silva

An attentive listener, Rafael knows how to encourage a profound discussion, though in a non-intrusive and respectful way. Be ready to talk a lot when with Rafael which is exactly what I was looking for in my Spanish language classes. In addition, be ready that Rafael will seed some universal questions in your head and push you to reflections which is an unexpected bonus to a class. Rafael’s thorough feedback helps to expand the vocabulary. Finally, he comes across as a kind human-being that is something to treasure nowadays. To wrap up, if you are looking for a teacher who is knowledgable, patient and has humane attitude towards things in life, Rafael is def your go-to option.

An absolute all-star teacher! I have been a regular student of Rafa’s for a while, and I always leave fully energized after our Spanish chats. The conversation flows, and I hardly note that any of my deficiencies in the language are barriers to deep and meaningful exchanges. I absolutely recommend his “Next Level Spanish!” modules, where he finds thought-provoking material, based on common interests, to review before the class. I often wish that the clock would just freeze, as his questions and suggestions generate so much intrigue that I just hate having to disconnect. Thank you, Rafa, for bringing my Spanish to a level of real connection and vitality. You’ve got a special gift for inspiring and lifting those around you.

A joy to speak with, he creates an immersive environment to discuss a wide variety of topics. Looking forward to more lessons.

Look no further, Raffy's the best.

Durante mi aprendizaje con Rafa he mejorado mi español cierto, pero también he expandido mi mente, y ganado un amigo. Espero muchas lecciones más. Adelante!

Rafael is a great person to discuss all types of topics with! While being patient, he helps you discover more about the language, and next to that about cultures. He asks a lot of questions and is always happy to help!
