Hello! ¡Hola! Olá! 你好! привіт! 안녕하세요! !مرحبا
🙋🏻♀️ My name is Gabi and I am from Florida, USA. I have 5 years of experience teaching in-person (schools, academies, adult education) and online to all ages! Apart from teaching, I love to sing, dance, eat good food, travel, and play chess!
I have a Master's degree in TEFL with honors and a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics, an official TESOL® certificate and various professional development certifications to best serve you. My goal is to help you communicate effectively in English, using a variety of tools and materials!Me as a Teacher
- All my lessons are made for custom made for EACH student. I create lessons based on what you need to communicate and accomplish your goals. During class, I pay attention to your mistakes and fix them to make sure you are improving.
- I make sure you have plenty of opportunity to speak and apply your English. I will correct your grammar and build your vocabulary, while also writing them in a document to make sure you keep it.
- I want to get to know you as a person, not just a student. I try my best to make sure you feel relaxed so we can both have a positive learning experience!My lessons & teaching style
- In my lessons, I provide appropriate grammar, vocabulary, and functional language best fit for YOU and your goals! After each class, I make sure you receive the class material and vocabulary for you to review.
- I use a variety of materials, like videos, news articles, music, course books, podcasts, games, and more! This exposes you to REAL English and pronunciation.
- In our lessons, I make sure we both feel relaxed and comfortable to learn and have a positive experience! 😊My teaching material

Gaby is a superb teacher with great compassion and empathy. She is enthusiastic not only in English, but also in every topic we discussed. In her lessons you will learn English the language as well as the culture associated with it in an actively involved manner. The various games presented during the sessions are engaging, the phrasal verbs and idioms are practical, and most importantly, you can apply the knowledge you learned immediately in daily life. Gaby will never let you down.
