Rodrigo explains everything in a clear and simple way, always asks questions to keep me involved, and encourages me when I get stuck. The lessons feel natural and conversational, which makes it much easier to build confidence speaking. I always leave class feeling motivated and excited to keep learning!

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!
