English lessons with Rodrigo are dynamic and extremely productive.
As he is a native of an English-speaking country, it is easier to grasp both the language and the culture.
Erica C. Bernardini, Marketing Officer, Italian-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture
I have been having lessons with Rodrigo for 2 months. My goal was to practice conversation and improve my pronunciation.
After each class I felt more relaxed talking to native speakers in meetings, and even when giving business presentations to the general public.
In addition, the classes are great fun and current affairs are brought into the discussion.
Marcelo Chianello, Vice-President, Teleperformance.
Having lessons with Rodrigo has been a wonderful experience. All of his classes are practical and dynamic, which makes learning easier and more enjoyable.
Marcio Roberto, University Lecturer also working in the management of Sideral Materiais para Construção (Steel Materials for Construction)
At the outset I was afraid of lessons with Rodrigo as I am very shy and in conventional English lessons in schools, I simply listen to the teacher without having to speak. But in private lessons there is an obligation to speak. However, instead of being the torture I feared, lessons with Rodrigo have turned out to be very entertaining and enjoyable. My confidence grew and I was able to speak without inhibition.
Adriana Bauer, Doctor and Lecturer in Education at Uniban
Rodrigo is a very dedicated and patient teacher, enabling us to speak in class without being afraid of making mistakes, correcting us whenever necessary and enabling us to develop with each lesson.
Max Migliacci, Lawyer
I have been having lessons with Rodrigo for 2 months and have found this to be very productive, with the lessons improving my vocabulary. The lessons are always conversations involving current affairs, facilitating understanding and assimilation. As the lessons are with a native of the USA, learning is easier, especially when it comes to pronunciation.
Hamilton Kowal, Businessman
Having lessons with a native teacher is perfect for anyone who wishes to learn English as it is really spoken by Americans. Rodrigo, however, is not only a native speaker of the language, he understands the language, history and culture of his people like nobody else. In addition, he has experience of the cultures of various other countries through his students. After just a few lessons I felt an unbelievable improvement in how I expressed myself in English. In other words, Rodrigo is an exceptional teacher of a type that is virtually unknown here.
Alexandre Gentil, Graphic Producer, Walt Disney
Rodrigo is a teacher with fantastic chemistry. His lessons are interactive and filled with humor, as if you were at a show where the audience interacts with the artist. There are many teachers in the market, but I have never known anyone who succeeds in uniting professionalism, seriousness, experience and interactivity while maintaining a sense of fun and wrapping all this in a unique style.
Wander Taffo, Radio-Taxi
The classes are engaging and productive. Rodrigo reignited our interest in the language and motivated us to apply ourselves. The result is more than a satisfied customer, it is the certainty of definitive knowledge.
Cristiano Andrade Pereira, Human Resources Manager, Fapesp
He is a teacher who stimulates self-knowledge and motivates the study of language, as well as being very intelligent and knowledgeable about various cultures, which adds up to a unique way of learning. His explanations are filled with examples that are involving, very funny and easy to absorb.
Érika Castro, Administrative Assistant at Rabobank
I'm loving this! I have already lived outside of the country, but I have not used my English and so I sought out a native teacher. It has been a wonderful experience!
Rodrigo is excellent and I recommend him to everyone!
Michelle Nascimento, Public Relations, Sandvick do Brasil
I have found it very rewarding to study English with you, Rodrigo. I like the spontaneity, ranging over various subjects, particularly as these are entertaining and fun. I learn in a relaxed and enjoyable way. Better still, I understand what you say from the clarity of your gestures. My vocabulary has expanded.
Keli Kowal, Executive Secretary, Interbrax
The classes are very entertaining and you learn without realizing it. I've had lessons for three months and thanks to this I performed well in an interview to work in the USA.
Rafael Barreto, Systems Analyst at IBM
As a singing teacher and singer for nearly 20 years, I had the opportunity to record my compositions for the foreign market. Even though I had a very high level of English, putting these before native speakers demands something natural, that carries the emotion.
I met Rodrigo through his website and when I spoke with him for the first time, I felt sure that I would no longer suffer the doubts and the different criteria encountered with so-called "language experts".
I found in Rodrigo things that are important for those who work with art, cinema and theatre, but also his cultural and artistic knowledge were fundamental for the development of my project.
André Recasens, Singing Teacher and Vocalist with Madigator
At my age it is difficult to attend class and learn in the systematic way used in schools. Classes with Rodrigo are freer. There we cover English used in real life, both professional and personal,in a relaxed way. Very funny, extremely professional, mature and solid is how I would define Rodrigo.
Jose Carlos, Endocrinologist
Rodrigo, Thank you for all the support and attention you have given to address the real difficulty I had with the English language.
The private lessons we had during these months have really helped me in my work, and also on my trip to Orlando and Miami.
I hope that you continue to be the exceptional teacher you are. Best wishes.
Eduardo Ferreira, Media Supervisor at Dentsu
Lessons with Rodrigo are relaxed. You learn naturally, quickly and efficiently. Ideal for those who are shy and wish to lose the fear of speaking in English.
The progress is surprising. After just a few lessons it is noticeable.
Edmilson Rocha de Lima Filho, Nephrologist, Santa Casa
I have studied English in different schools, following both group and individual lessons. Studying English with a native speaker is infinitely better than any other method I've tried. I was tired of promises made by schools for their revolutionary methods and Brazilian teachers who would end up speaking in Portuguese when they ran out of words. From the first lesson it is possible to see the difference. Above all, Rodrigo has a good overview of the material available on the market, always making recommendations and putting forward new ideas. The tips that are given in class are crucial for understanding.
Marcos Flávio Hanai Bueno, Electronic Engineer, Ford
Even those who communicate in English well, as I do, have insecurities with regard to pronunciation and the correct use of words and grammar as this is not our native language. Classes with Rodrigo gave me an extremely important sense of security for a telephone conference and prepared me for this challenge.
Priscilla Fiorin, Public Relations in the area of IT
Just because you are fluent in a language does not mean that you are equipped to teach. Rodrigo showed me that teaching is much more than this. His teaching methods, whether for one-to-one lessons or for group classes, are extremely rich in content, practice and energy. I learned a lot during my stay in São Paulo.
Paula Soares, English teacher from Porto Alegre
When I decided to prepare myself for my induction into Berkeley, I had many teachers, but none of them suited my requirements like Rodrigo.
Yoshitaka Matsuzaka, Guitarist
Rodrigo Faria is not only a wonderful teacher, he is also the funniest guy I know.
Toulouse L. Pinheiro, Doctor at the Heart Institute
As well as being very extrovert, preparing easy and interactive lessons, he is the only person I know who manages to be both a teacher and a comedian at the same time.
Paula Menegotto, Athlete, NineNine Jiu-Jitsu Team
The classes are very entertaining and you learn without realizing it. I have had three months of lessons and thanks to this I performed well in an interview to work in the USA.
Rafael Barreto, Systems Analyst, IBM
Rodrigo Faria is not only a great teacher, he is also an intellectual, connected to all that is happening around him. He is always innovating, even that which appears impossible to update. Our Business English classes were incredible and in a little more than one year I managed a score of 935 in the Toeic Toeic (Test of English for International Communication), where 990 is the maximum score.
Mitsuko Watanabe, Executive, Loreal Paris
Rodrigo, with his enthusiasm and knowledge, has helped me greatly to prepare for a work trip to the United States.
Joao Paulo Micelli, Advertising Manager
With practical lessons in the office, it was much easier to learn technical English. He used resources such as videos, photos and his own tools, making the lessons dynamic and prompting even more conversation.
