Rafael Lino

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!

Hands down the best teacher on italki! Rafael's classes are 100% tailored to the student. I love the fact that he prepares interesting and varied themes for every lesson. He also goes above and beyond by suggesting cultural content (books, podcasts, movies) for me to study on my own. If you want a teacher who truly cares about your progress, Rafael is the one!

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.

Rafael continues to be an excellent teacher who is patient and can tailor lessons to his students’ needs and interests.

Thank you Rafa, a very helpful lesson!

Rafael continua de ser um professor excelente 😊
