About Me
italki teacher since Oct 22, 2019Interest topicFilms & TV SeriesArtWriting
Me llamo Gabriel y me gusta conversar y aprender sobre varios temas; los hoyos negros son muy interesantes, por ejemplo.
Di el TOEFL iBT el 7 de septiembre, y saqué 111 puntos de 120 (en caso de que necesites ayuda en él).
Me gusta el lenguaje y cómo otras personas lo perciben.
Además, vivo en Chile y me encantaría conocer gente de otras culturas.
My name is Gabriel, and I like discussing and learning about a variety of topics; black holes being one of the most interesting ones to me.
I took the TOEFL iBT on September 7th, 2019 and got 111 points out of 120.
I like language and how other people perceive it.
Also, I live in Chile and I would love to meet other people from other cultures.Me as a Teacher
I like to teach people about language, I love to see them grow.
If I do not know the answer to something, I will look for more information so that the students and myself can learn a little bit more about that.
I also believe that constant correction (while talking) is helpful to improve, but I also believe that that has to happen when everyone involved is confortable with it. So, corrections are always welcome on this side. If my students do not want to be corrected, that's okay. I will always correct others when their mistakes are too important to ignore.My lessons & teaching style
Intento diversificar mis clases tanto como lo es posible, enseñando con temas que le son familiares para los estudiantes y a veces que no lo son tanto para que ese esfuerzo extra les ayude a aprender.
--o--
I try to diversify my lessons as much as possible, bringing up topics that are familiar and sometimes not so much so that that extra effort helps the student's learning process, but not enough to be detrimental.
Nowadays, visual learning is on the rise, and that is why I choose to focus on visual aids more than anything else, unless of course my student has other needs, in which case I will help as much as possibe to meet them.My teaching material

Gabriel is an incredibly generous, thoughtful, and funny tutor, and I give him my highest recommendation. We especially connected because we are both fiction writers, but I imagine that he is able to help and support any kind of person with their language goals. For me, I was looking to improve my understanding of Chilean Spanish in advance of a work conference, and to practice speaking with my colleagues. Gabriel did a great job identifying vocabulary and topics that would be useful to me, as well as answering the specific vocabulary and usage questions I would usually bring to our sessions. Don’t hesitate to book a class with Gabriel!

Si pudiera darle ocho estrellas, lo haría. No solo como chiste privado porque acabamos de tener una conversación profunda y rica sobre el efecto de juzgar en el cerebro. Siempre me siento mucho más listo (y desafiado) después de hablar con él. Uno de mis profs favorito.

Had a great philosophical discussion which stretched my vocabulary and thinking in Spanish. Ahora tengo que pensar si el empatía es deber o derecho. :)

Gabriel was my teacher for 2 years.
He helped me to go through the TOEFL,
and, when I successfully passed it,
we continued to work together.
He always adjusted to my needs
(if I had troubles with grammar, we did grammar;
if I had troubles with speaking, we did it as much as possible, and so on).
In addition, I appreciate punctuality in others,
so I was glad to see him constantly in time.
Gabriel has done a great job, and I am very grateful!
