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.
