Meet Evandro Rodrigues:
An Award-Winning Instructor.
With over 15 years of international experience, Evandro Rodrigues brings Portuguese to life through engaging, practical lessons designed for real communication. He has worked with students and professionals from Brazil, the USA, Canada, Japan, and beyond, helping learners move confidently between clear grammar and the Portuguese spoken every day in Brazil.
A Brazilian instructor of Portuguese as a Foreign Language, Evandro combines linguistic expertise with a deep passion for culture and connection. His classes are interactive, motivating, and enjoyable, creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable practicing and improving.
Beyond the classroom, Evandro’s experience as a translator and materials developer allows him to go beyond traditional textbooks. His lessons blend formal and informal Portuguese, giving students the tools they need to understand native speakers and express themselves naturally in real-life situations.
His commitment to teaching has been recognized with two Excellence in Teaching Languages Awards from the University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies (2014 and 2020), and his work also includes a published chapter on the challenges of language learning outside the classroom.
For Evandro, learning a language is not about memorization—it’s about interaction, culture, and confidence. With clear guidance and a human approach, students stay motivated and make steady, meaningful progress toward fluency.

Real Student Experiences
I took classes with Evandro for more than one year. During this time, I progressed from a complete beginner to having the confidence and range of vocabulary to understand conversations in Portuguese. Evandro is a very patient teacher with a clear structure to each of his lessons. He adjusts his teaching material and style depending on the student and their needs. I would recommend taking lessons with Evandro if you want to improve your Portuguese at any level.
James Bradley
Before I joined Evandro’s class, I tried books, Duolingo, and Rosetta Stone—none of them helped with real-world conversation. Evandro makes the class fun and actually interesting. He adjusts the lessons to my situation, background, and interests, so every session feels useful. I’ve gained so much confidence speaking with my husband’s family in Brazil, and they keep complimenting me on how fast my Portuguese has improved. If you want practical, real-life Portuguese with a teacher who really listens and adapts, Evandro is the one.

I had the pleasure of participating in a class facilitated by Evandro. He introduced his students to the Brazilian Portuguese language by encouraging active participation.
