I believe that learning happens everywhere. For this reason, I'm always open to talk to students about their careers, anguishes and desires. Throughout my +15 years of teaching experience, I've proudly helped thousands of students to clarify their professional goals using group workshops, one-on-one sessions, and individual coaching. If you are my student, don't be shy and reach out. We can have a pleasant conversation over a cup of coffee or a systematic review of your academic and professional life.
“I believe that education, at any level, is a complicated journey towards human emancipation. As a consequence, I try to think of my classes as a cool social laboratory where students can emulate future behaviours, learn from each others' mistakes, and play with different scenarios. I believe it's my role to intrigue our students and encourage them to create the useful, the beautiful, and the relevant. I've come to realize from my experience both in and out of the classroom, that this is how amazing things are done. With that mindset, I believe that we (teachers) should see student engagement as a symptom, not a target.”
Student Evaluations (Comment Section):
"Professor Rafael Chiuzi was an amazing instructor, especially for this course. The material can be very hard to relate to
if you have never had work experience in the corporate world, but the professor did an amazing job at explaining
everything and making it relatable. He also made us participate in group activities every class which really helped us
understand the material on our own. He incorporated videos and real-life examples from his work experience which
made it so much easier visualize the content. His slide shows were simple and straightforward which really helped
make the class entertaining. Overall, amazing professor, super approachable and always wants to help students."

"Rafael did an amazing job instructing this course in that there was a good balance between theory and application. The
professor designed the course to be very interactive, with each class having some sort of group work or presentation.
He shares his industry experience which is what students truly benefit from considering they have minimal work
experience. Overall, Rafael is definitely the most valuable professor I have had thus far and I would love to see him tech
more courses this coming semester."

"Literally the best Professor I have ever had. looking forward to taking more of his courses.
The class's atmosphere was incredibly energetic and stimulating. We were always asked to do group exercises which
was the best part of this course. We were not just fed information but we were asked to think about them and discuss
them.
I feel like I learned a lot! even though I was not interested in this subject at the start. I love the way the Professor approaches
certain topics and the stories he tells us in order to understand the material in a deeper way. I would definitely definitely
recommend this course."
