The best DELE/SIELE professor on iTalki. Over the past few months I have been working with Graciela to prepare for the DELE and SIELE exams; and I have found the experience to be excellent. She is highly organized, always prepared, and very dedicated to my success as a student. She has a clear process which is personalized to the learner. In my case she created a week-by-week schedule, dedicated weekly writing workshops, and created a list of high yield supplementary materials. Moreover, she has created several educational aids such as podcasts which greatly help. As a person, she is kind, hard-working, adaptable, and committed to helping her students succeed. I 10/10 recommend her to anyone serious about improving their Spanish or preparing for exams. I also highly recommend her to francophones as she is fully trilingual and helps with reducing « galicismos» ex. les différences d’utilisation des prépositions, des temps verbaux, du lexique, etc.

Comecei a ter aulas com a professora Graziela no início do ano, em preparação para o Siele. A estrutura das aulas sempre foi muito boa e objetiva, com materiais disponibilizados por ela, como áudios, exercícios e explicações personalizadas de acordo com o objetivo e o nível de dificuldade de cada encontro. Notei uma melhora significativa no meu espanhol, tanto na preparação para a prova quanto na fala e no enriquecimento cultural. As dicas e explicações da professora foram fundamentais para o meu aprendizado. Ela é uma profissional excelente, paciente e sabe explicar de forma clara e acessível.

Excellent prof. Les cours sont préparés en amont avec des exercices et j’apprécie l’accompagnement et la pédagogie . Je recommande ce prof

Graciela is preparing me for the DELE exam. She clearly explained the differences between the exams and helped me choose the best option for me. She also presented the exam structure and outlined her plans for preparing me for the exam. She is well-organised, has professional knowledge of the Spanish language and the exams. She shared all the necessary resources with me. We have already practised the speaking part of the exam—she listened carefully and respectfully, then gave me detailed feedback on what I did well, where the mistakes were, and what I need to improve. She also provided me with useful vocabulary tips so I don’t rely on the same basic phrases and suggested which grammar points I should review. Her lessons are very engaging, and she remains focused throughout. She assigns homework, answers all my questions, and always maintains a professional yet friendly and encouraging atmosphere.

Graciela is instructive in a way that's both firm and respectful. I've learned a lot from her reminders to pay attention to the grammar I tend to be lazy about (el pretérito, los modos subjuntivos), and she's really great about not letting me get away with sloppy prepositions and articles. If you ACTUALLY want to improve your Spanish, this is the instructor for you.

Graciela put me at my ease and I enjoyed my conversation with her. We talked about a range of topics and she suggested some interesting links for me to take a look at. Looking forward to having another lesson with her.
