Murillo Costa

Murillo is very patient and kind in his mannerisms. His classes feel very natural and fun because we talk about so many interesting topics and use different learning materials. He is also very good at sensing what the student needs and making adjusting according to your weaknesses and strengths.

I'M BAACCCK. As a language nerd/ language teacher, I can confidently say that Murillo is one of the most talented teachers I have ever met. I feel privileged to be his student and to share my language journey with him. If you're serious about learning a language, feel confident that Murillo will not only get you there but with a smile on his face. Obrigada.

Very helpful conversational course, good at keeping the conversation going while also providing the right cues to correct.

There are many friendly Brazilian teachers who will give you great conversational classes so you can practice your intermediate level: you are going to learn things you may or may not forget, but it will be turning in circles, remaining in your comfort zone, repeating what you know, including the deeply entrenched habit-forming mistakes. Then there is Murillo: he is going to make you break through your comfort zone of repetition. You will discover new subject matters, new colloquial expressions and much more. He remembers what you learnt and should know; once you make a mistake, he won’t correct you by giving you the right version (which is usually pointless), but he makes you stop and makes you try to remember yourself. He makes you get rid of those deeply rooted errors and works on your pronunciation, so that we sound a little closer to what real Brazilians sound like. In a nutshell: Murillo is an excellent teacher and I fully recommend him. He has made a big difference to me.

Uma aula excelente!

I've read a another review that said Murillo makes you break through your comfort zone and that's exactly what I've experienced in our first lesson. In a very high tempo he made me think, think and think. I feel like we've made a really good start today and I look forward to our next lessons!
