Hi, my name is Gisela, and I am a native Spanish speaker from Chile, currently living in Santiago, after living in Europe for 5 years. I speak English fluently, Portuguese and basic German. In the past, I worked in Sales and Distribution but found that teaching was my passion. I have worked with children, teenagers and adults for the past 8 years. I love music, I play the ukulele and love hiking, being with friends and meeting new people who want to do good things in the world. I am interested in psychology, social issues and TV series. I may have watched FRIENDS a hundred times, and I am now planning on watching it for the 101st time.
I love being a teacher. I enjoy forming friendships with my students, learning about their lives and perspectives and using that to better guide them to learn Spanish. My purpose as a teacher is to lead the student to be able to use Spanish in the area that is important to them, whether it be in formal or informal contexts. I am not afraid to correct my students and make sure we tackle difficult areas methodically to see changes quickly. I have taught all ages, from 3 to 80 years old and with different motivations to learn the language.
I teach through conversation. Starting from the basics but always practical, we gradually build up to more advanced dialogues while learning grammar and vocabulary actively and passively.
The lessons include colourful slides designed by me with pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and cultural context content. E...

Gisela’s classes are the perfect balance of conversation practice and structured learning. She is a skilled and patient teacher who is very easy to talk to. After ten lessons Gisela has really helped me improve my Spanish speaking - I would recommend her to anyone :)

Had a great first call with Gisela. After introductions, she assessed my current level, explained her teaching style and methods, and provided me with clear next steps going forward!
