Hello! ¡Hola! Olá! 你好! привіт! 안녕하세요! !مرحبا
My name is Gaby and I am from Florida, USA. I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) teacher with 5+ years of experience teaching in-person (schools, academies, adult education) and online to all ages. I really enjoy teaching and helping my students feel comfortable while improving their language skills!
I have a Master's in TEFL with honors and a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics, an official TESOL® certificate and various professional development certifications. My goal is to help you elevate your English and accomplish your goals!
My hobbies include eating good food, playing chess, and learning languages. Hope to see you in class!Me as a Teacher
Each lesson I design is tailored specifically for YOU. I craft lessons based on what you want to achieve. In our classes, I focus on spotting and correcting your mistakes to ensure constant improvement. After each class, you will receive class material for you to review.
I am highly flexible as a teacher, always ready to modify things if a particular method isn't working with you. Your learning experience is dynamic, tailored to ensure your success in every session.
Beyond being your teacher, I want to know YOU. I try my best to create a relaxed environment for us, ensuring a positive and enjoyable learning experience for both of us! 😊My lessons & teaching style
My teaching toolbox includes a rich mix of resources: videos, news articles, music, course books, podcasts, games, and more! This diverse approach exposes you to authentic English usage while being fun and engaging.
I also provide plenty of chances for you to speak and practice your English. I'll help refine and understand your grammar, expand your vocabulary, and keep track of our progress in a document for your reference.
Finally, I try to create a warm and approachable environment, encouraging open communication and making sure our lessons feel comfortable and enjoyable. 😊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.
