Gabriela Brenes

It's always a pleasure to work with Gabriela. We always practice the subjects which interest me and I get to improve my speaking skills. This is important to me because I get to learn new vocabulary that I know I will use in daily life and in which context to actually use them.

Cuando hablo español, me siento como si fuera un crustáceo pequeño, navegando olas ominosas de vergüenza e incertidumbre...Pero al instante de comenzar la clase de Gaby, me siento como si fuera un tamal navideño: envuelto en optimismo, paciencia, y sinceridad—que es lo que me regala esta profesora tan especial. Y además de quitarme el miedo de hablar el español, Gaby incluso me curó de mi miedo a los monos salvajes! Ahora soy un aprendiz feliz.

A real lovely, warm introduction! Gabriela is very patient and yet very enthusiastic and her love for life transcends through the screen. Very helpful, giving instant notes on vocabulary to learn so you can see there and then. I am looking forward to my next lesson with her and learning full, in depth layered, conversational Spanish in an exciting way.

Gabriele is always very friendly and easy to talk with! I enjoy her approach to teaching Spanish. She speaks clearly and distinctly and is quick with explanations, if needed. I have a special interest in Costa Rica and she is very interesting to talk to about her country.

No necesita buscar más, es la mejor maestra que puede tener aquí.

Another excellent conversation with Gabi. She is consistently patient, encouraging, helpful, and so easy to understand. The useful words and phrases that she writes in the chat become a great revision resource, and I always learning something new in our sessions. A wonderful teacher!
