Dear Students,
My name is Rafael Leite, and I have been working as a Portuguese second language instructor for ten years (+4 years online experience). I consider myself easy to work with, organized, and always ready to support my students.
Fortunately, I have vast pedagogical experience with all levels of proficiency in Portuguese, as well as experience preparing students for the Portuguese proficiency exam, Celpe-Bras.
All this experience has helped me grow as a teacher and as a person. I really hope to contribute to your language improvement in the best way possible so that you can continue this amazing journey which is learning my native language.Ik als leerkracht
During these years I have improved my skills by teaching many international students including children, teenagers, and adults from different age groups. I use various techniques in my classes based on the student, as students have different backgrounds and needs. I have experience teaching international banking professionals, American, European and Japanese multinational executives as well as several professionals from the US and Australians on diplomatic mission in Brazil.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My methodology is based on the Communicative and Usage Based Approaches which aims to use communication as the major point to address grammar, lexicon and the 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.
I tailor the class based on the student’s specific needs.Mijn lesmateriaal

When I first decided to take Portuguese lessons on italki as a beginner, I was nervous about focusing solely on the speaking aspect, afraid of saying things incorrectly and making mistakes. This journey has been a complete surprise for me - Rafa is a wonderful teacher, very patient, and friendly. Whereas I thought I might struggle to get through an hour, the class flies by each time as conversation is fun and engaging, and suddenly communication becomes the main focus. I love how the topics of focus are varied - between history, culture, music, and politics mixed in with learning the basics of conjugation, grammar, vocabulary and - my favorite - colloquialisms. :) Thank you for being awesome, Rafa.. até a próxima!

As aulas com Rafael são sempre ótimas. É difícil encontrar um assunto que ele não conhece, você pode se sentir totalmente confiante para falar sobre qualquer coisa, ele é um excelente professor e, acima de tudo, uma boa pessoa ,)

I’ve been taking Rafael’s classes for almost a year and I really enjoy them! It’s a great and relaxing way to practice conversation, which is what I really need the most. Rafael is encouraging, patient and friendly and I learn so many new words every class. His podcast is also great, and a wonderful companion tool to practice listening.
