“Rodrigo is the first who didn't cancel his contract with my son, who could be very difficult at times! He has been able to help whenever we have needed him over the past two years. Last year he home-schooled my son in Ukraine for three months, who has mentioned that in future he would only want Rodrigo as his tutor. He has helped my son manage his Dyslexia and his handwriting has improved a lot with Rodrigo’s help. He's the best tutor my son has had” – A, Ukraine (2020)
