Raised between languages, I'll help you cross that border too. I grew up on the border between French- and German-speaking Switzerland and that language-crossing feeling never left me. From a young age I learned languages in very different ways: absorbing Swiss German on the street, studying German, Latin and ancient Greek at school, and picking up others through books, friends and living abroad. I am a multidisciplinary artist who tours the world with my own physical theatre pieces and that performer's sense of presence shapes how I teach. I've been teaching languages for 10 years and dance for over 40. My goal is for you to feel confident speaking in real situations. Every language I teach is one I learned by living in its country and use every day. I have been a dance teacher for 40 years, so that I am sure I love teaching! At some times in the past, I have also given private language lessons at home, but it was hard to fit them into my family life. Now with italki offering online teaching, I am pleased to come back to it. I see teaching fundamentally as a way of communicating. Before starting to instill any skill in my students, I try to reach out to each of them and establish the open channel that is key to learning. This is how I am able to teach the difficult technique of classical ballet to complete adult beginners, women and men. Learning a language is no different and I will offer you my complete attention and support. My aim is to make you feel comfortable communicating with people: there is no shame in being a beginner and b...

I’ve been taking French lessons with Gabrielle for a little over a year in order to brush up my French conversation skills. She is so easy to speak with and helps me to improve by guiding me in a friendly way. I just came back from a 2-week vacation in France and felt very at ease speaking with the native speakers. Even my husband - who has also been taking sessions with Gabrielle - had greatly overcome his fear of speaking French. It really helped us to be able to fully enjoy our travels! I agree with what another student said about Gabrielle always being on time and in a great mood. She’s an absolute gem!!

It’s been almost a year since I started to take lessons with Gabrielle. She is always on time, thoroughly prepared, in a great mood. Through our conversation, I improve my French and at the same time reflect about important things in life. I owe so much to Gabrielle. Merci mille fois. L’expérience comme ça, c’est pourquoi j’appends la langue. 감사합니다 건강히 오래오래 가르쳐주세요.

J'apprecie toujours mes cours de conversation avec Gabrielle. Le temps passe toujours tres vite et je ne vois pas ou le temps passe :) Elle accorde toujours toute son attention a chaque cours, et maitrise la maniere de mettre l'eleve a l'aise, ce qui permet de se detendre facilement et donc de progresser rapidement. J'ai beaucoup appris d'elle.
