About Me
italki teacher since May 3, 2021InterestsReadingTravelWriting
I am an enthusiastic tutor originally from Romania. I am very grateful for the opportunities I've had to travel and study in multiple countries, and to become more sensitive to the nuances of different cultures and languages, as a result. I am a very friendly person who enjoys long philosophical discussions, as well as light-hearted conversation. I am an avid reader, I enjoy cooking and baking (I have a real sweet tooth), as well as arts and crafts. I always seek to learn new things and celebrate the small beautiful moments of every-day life. I am passionate about using my resources and skills to help people on their journeys to their goals, and I try to bring joy to others in any way I can.
Me as a Teacher
I am a patient and empathetic teacher, who will support you and celebrate your progress every step of the way! I find that motivation is one of the most important factors in developing language skills. As a result, my approach is focused on grace: instead of allowing ourselves to become unmotivated by mistakes or setbacks, we will, instead, celebrate each small improvement! I am extremely excited about the opportunity to get to know lots of people with beautiful life stories and rich cultures unbeknownst to me, and to help them reach their Romanian language goals!My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is student-driven, flexible and customized to the student's needs and preferences. During the 1st session, we will talk about your own learning style, goals, and your current language level. Afterwards, I will adapt each lesson to suit your needs. I will give out homework, which we will review each session. I am happy to work with beginner learners, as well as advanced speakers. I can help you develop your conversation skills for everyday use through simulating real-life situations. I integrate grammar and vocabulary into every lesson in a fun and effective way. I can also give you guidance for academic work, job interviews, and improving your writing skills.My teaching material

Teacher’s pick
I've had eight classes with Gabriela now and she continues to impress as a teacher – she goes well beyond what one would expect from a teacher. Gabriela's lessons and methods of teaching are truly customised to the student's desires and needs, which helps me to focus on the areas that I find the most difficult.
When I have questions, Gabriela provides detailed responses including example sentences, different usages and even idioms. She's even undertaken research in her own time to answer the more complex questions I've asked.
Gabriela's lessons are well-prepared with extensive supporting materials and homework. Gabriela is also very encouraging, supportive teacher and patient with me when I mistakes.
I can't recommend Gabriela highly enough if you want to learn Romanian! Mulțumesc mult, Gabriela!

Gabriela is an outstanding teacher and a lovely person. She has an amazing ability to meet me where I am with my language abilities and patiently encourage me. She always takes extra care to engage me with new material and to explain the context of new words and grammatical structures, and her enthusiasm for teaching comes through with each lesson. She's a true gem!
