About Me
italki teacher since May 29, 2020Me as a Teacher
During these years I could improve my knowledge by teaching many international students including children, teenagers, and adults from different age groups. Consequently, I use various techniques in my classes for each student as students have different background and needs. I have experience teaching international banking professionals, American, European and Japanese multinational executives as well as several professionals from the US and Australian diplomatic mission in Brazil. My lessons & teaching style
My methodology is based on the Communicative and Usage Based Approaches which aims to use communication as the mayor point in order to address grammar, lexicon and interpersonal skills necessary to help students of Portuguese as a Second Language acquire fluency.
Usually, the class is split into 3 parts: 1. Review of what was discussed in the previous lesson(s) followed by feedback on assignments, conversation on everyday topics such as, family, friends, routine and news. 2. Small lecture, which approaches grammar and a vocabulary topic and oral practice. 3. Debates and discussions on current topics.
Depending on the students, I will tailor the class according to specific needs.My teaching material

I am having portuguese classes with Rafael for past few months and it has been great experience I can recommend to anyone. We talk about various topics ranging from history to the culture. Rafael is great guy to learn or practice the language with. He is superfriendly, has interest in various topics, patient and always open to help. It feels more like a conversation with a friend than classical teacher-pupil relationship & feeling. I do recommend him without a single doubt.
