I can't say enough about Rodrigo as an educator. My son Beau studied with him in Peru, and it was transformative. Rodrigo has an infectious energy and passion that extends far beyond the classroom. Beau would rush to his history classes, which, as any parent knows, is no small feat. […] Rodrigo makes complex subjects feel like adventures. He has an unbridled enthusiasm for sharing what he loves, whether it's history, chess, or the idea that learning is fundamentally about connection and community. That kind of genuine excitement is contagious, and it transforms how kids see themselves as learners and as global citizens. If you want an educator who will inspire your child to love learning and see themselves as part of something bigger, he's your person.

"Rodrigo was an absolutely amazing at our hub! He had a gift for making everything fun, whether he was teaching Spanish, playing chess, or leading the kids on a scavenger hunt through Cusco while teaching them about the city. But what made Rodrigo truly unforgettable was the way he brought history to life. I remember our son coming home from a history lesson and telling about some tidbit he learned like it was juicy gossip. That's the type of stuff they won't forget! Rodrigo created an environment where learning felt like an adventure, and our family can't wait to join another hub with him."

"Rodrigo's classes made our son love history. Whether in Indonesia where he taught WWI & WWII to a group of 5 graders, or in Peru where he presented the history of the Inkas, right there in the Sacred Valley, these lucky kids were engaged to an extent that these classes became the highligts of their week. The historical scavenger hunt in Cusco was next level in education. By the end our son came up with the idea to learn Hungarian history from him, even online, while Rodrigo is in Peru and we are in Indonesia. We tried it with other teachers before - this is the first time it really-really works. A big thank you for your amazing work - you're an inspiration!"

"Rodrigo is an incredible teacher who brings so much genuine passion to what he does. When we were in Sardinia and Provence, it was amazing to see how much he cared about helping the kids learn and grow. His enthusiasm for history and geography is completely contagious. One specific thing that really stood out to us was his chess club. He somehow managed to get Max, Myra, and all the other kids completely hooked on the game. He has a natural way of connecting with students and making learning exciting instead of a chore. If you are a family looking for a teacher who will actually get your kids engaged with the world, Rodrigo is your guy. If you just want standard worksheets and strict classroom rules, he might not be the right fit because his strength is really in hands-on, active learning. We cannot recommend him enough. He is just an amazing teacher all around."

"What I especially appreciated about Rodrigo was the balance he found with the kids. He can be incredibly playful and fun with them, while at the same time setting clear boundaries and expectations. The children genuinely like him, but they also respect him.[…] He managed to keep Vini genuinely excited about chess and even took the initiative to bring him to a local competition with French children, which was such a great experience for him. I think that is one of Rodrigo's real strengths: he goes above and beyond to help children grow, try new things and challenge themselves, but does it in such a natural and enjoyable way that they barely realize they are learning. Vini loved spending time with him, and we trusted him completely."

"My daughter interest in history was further sparked by Rodrigo's passionate history lessons. Was very much appreciated!"
