About Me
italki teacher since Jan 26, 2021InterestsMarketingTravelFashion & BeautyFoodBusiness & Finance
Hello, my name is Gabriela Brenes. I am from Costa Rica, specifically from Cartago. I love reading, watching series and movies, walking my dogs, listening to music, traveling, spending time with my family and friends, and learning new things.
I have a degree in French, so I can speak it, but I also speak a little English and Portuguese. Similarly, I have a degree in Audiology, as I like to feel that I can help people with hearing problems to regain this important sense.
I am passionate about knowing new cultures, learning languages, and being in contact with people.
I consider myself an extremely patient person teaching, even more so because I have been where you are, that is, learning a language. I like to offer my students what I liked when I was learning, security, comfort, empathy, respect, kindness, and patience. I worked as a Spanish assistant in France, where I really enjoyed teaching my language, and being able to share a little more of my culture with others. I have worked with people between the ages of 14 and 19, but I can adapt to any age.
Everyone has different ways of learning, so I would very much like to get to know each student, and thus be able to adapt to their needs. I like that my classes are dynamic, seeking that learning a language is always fun. I think that constant practice can make significant changes to advance in the learning of a language, and that is why I am here, to help you.My teaching material

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.

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.

Gaby y yo siempre tenemos conversaciones interesantes y divertidas. Hoy hablamos primero del viaje de Gaby a Perú y luego de un artículo que leí trata de las tensiones en las familias estadounidenses entre los padres y los niños en cuanto a celulares y las redes sociales.

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.

Gabriela is a wonderful conversation partner, and quite talented in languages! I have practiced both Spanish and French with her. Her French pronunciation is excellent, which is rare for someone from Latin America. Our conversations are always fun, and have become the highlight of my week! Looking forward to many more.
