Rob

I cannot thank my teacher Rob enough for everything he has done for me. Without his guidance and support, I wouldn’t be able to speak Portuguese as confidently as I do today. I feel truly blessed not only for his exceptional teaching skills but also for his kindness outside the classroom. Thanks to Rob, I had the chance to get tickets to the Taylor Swift concert in Rio – a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will always cherish. In class, Rob creates a safe and supportive environment where we can learn how to speak properly. He always provides constructive feedback, highlighting both the good and the areas where we can improve, especially with pronunciation. This balance makes his teaching incredibly effective and enjoyable. Thank you for wrapping up 2024’s class with me and let’s continue studying together in 2025! Congrats again for what you have archieved lately ;) well deserved !!

If you want to learn Brazilian Portuguese - Robledo is your guy! Robledo is the best Portuguese teacher anyone could have. I've taken over 100 classes with him since last summer - 3 days a week - and am happy with my progression towards fluency. Classes are always well prepared, be it reading and written assignments, games, watching videos or listening to audio..even singing and discussing famous Brazilian songs that have vocabulary and verb tenses we are learning. ...and if current events or personal life pop into the conversation, he always has an article, YouTube video, or song to share...just remember you get what you put into it! Tamo junto meu amigo -- muito obrigado por nossas aulas juntas; eu continuarei aprendendo portugues com voce! Valeu!

Thank you for being beyond a wonderful teacher to me!

Rob muito obrigada de coração por tudo, você e uma grande inspiração para mim! Que ano incrível foi este ano 2024! Conseguimos ler livros, contos, artigos, falar sobre tudo que esta acontecendo no mundo inteiro, escutamos as musicas maravilhosas, vimos filmes incríveis, descobrimos capacidades que temos que não sabíamos, rimos e nos divertimos muito. As aulas com você são excepcionais, e um aprendizagem que não só desenvolva a língua portuguesa, e um enorme desenvolvimento pessoal. Conhecendo você eu descobri o que e ter uma vocação! Sendo um professor maravilhoso, você e um amigo e uma pessoa maravilhosa e sou muito feliz que nos nos conhecemos. Muito obrigada para tudo. Feliz Natal e Ano Novo para você. Nos vemos no ano que vem. Um grande abraço.

One hour is not enough with Rob while 15 min seems too long sometimes ;)

I’ve been studying with Rob for nearly a year and a half now, and I can confidently say that every single class has been a gift. He always arrives on time! He shows up full of energy, positivity, and kindness, and I can never thank him enough for offering me such a meaningful and inspiring learning experience. What makes Rob truly special is that he took the time to develop a methodology that actually works for me. It’s tailored, effective, and motivating — so much so that I honestly wish all my other language teachers could apply the same approach. I guess what I’m really trying to say is: thank you, Rob, for being you — an amazing person and an even more amazing teacher and being my portuguese teacher.
