Who will be your mentor?

Olá! I'm Marlon Rio.

I've been teaching Portuguese and other languages from scratch to Brazilians and foreigners for 12 years, and I believe I can really help with your journey.

I'm a language teacher, a 2x PhD (in Language Studies and in Theology), and I hold a Master's degree, 15 postgraduate specializations and 3 undergraduate degrees in different areas of education. I'm the youngest Doctor in Language Studies in Brazil's history — at 26 years old — and I've published scientific articles and books on language teaching.

I've already helped thousands of students around the world speak Portuguese and other languages naturally — including Gabriela Rocha (English), Rodolfo Abrantes (Italian) and Vitória Martinello (English) — break through language barriers and reach their goals through languages.
