“Very grateful that The School of European languages and Art stayed open during the Covid-19 lockdown period. I was able to improve my English and French skills during this time studying under the subject immersion programs provided by this teacher and my results are amazing. The language immersion teaching worked for me because it accommodated my learning pace, my schedule, my reading preferences (media, history, science), and my budget, too.”

“Thank you so much for tutoring me on the subjects of English and Religion. I have learned so much from you. I went from being a C student to an A+ because of your teaching and instruction. My professors and other tutors have complimented my work. I appreciate all of your help. You are an excellent tutor!”

“After only a few lessons, I am able to grasp more of the French language than I have been able to by using a program like Rosetta Stone or by studying on my own. Each lesson is personalized and she takes the time to slow down and explain difficult concepts when needed. One of the wonderful things about Gabriela is that she understands what is like to learn French herself, which makes her very relatable as an instructor. She has so much experience in a variety of settings and different types of students, and I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn French!”

I have learned English from Gabriela. It was important time that I spoke to her in English every week, because I couldn’t make an opportunity to speak English 2 hours even if I live in the U.S.A. I was corrected my English in detail: especially grammar and pronunciation, then my English improved certainly. I will keep studying English. Every time I took a lesson with my 2-year old daughter who loves Gabriela. She preferred taking a lesson with me to playing with toys. She was happy to repeat words after us even from her own initiative. Gabriela’s lessons gave a wonderful influence for my daughter.”

“Amazing lessons! I’m usually a shy person, but Gabriela made me feel comfortable as soon as I met her. She is very easy to talk to and engage with, and she has a lot of patience. Gabriela helped to personalize lessons for me based on my goals, and I feel as if I have learned more French from her in a few lessons than what I learned in high school. Highly recommended!”

“I started taking TOEFL focus English classes with Gabrielle in 2013. Back then, she was patient enough to modify my curriculum and focus on my grammar understanding and speaking. Due to my husband’s work agenda, I had to pause my classes but the entire time she was attentive and cared to answer my emails even if it was just to say Hi. After 3 years I was finally able to came back to the USA an finish my curriculum and thanks to her insights not only in the language but critical thinking, culture and history as well, I had developed my understanding and communication skills faster than I’d hoped for and am going for a post graduation. She is very organized, respectful with our time and her ability to adapt to each of her students makes me highly recommend her as a tutor!!”

“Patient and professional. Gabriela is very professional and helpful. I had one tutoring session with her and I’m already more confident in speaking French and I think she will help me make great progress as we have more tutoring sessions. She is organized, prepared, and can work with students at any level. Additionally, Gabriela is experienced in teaching Dyslexic and ADD/ADHD students (like myself), and she knows how to modify her teaching methods to aid different learning styles. No matter how big or small your goal is, Gabriela will help you reach it. I definitely recommend her as a tutor.”

“Patient and Kind.” Gabriela is a patient tutor and explains each step in detail making sure you understand the point she is landing. She made me feel comfortable and helped me understand things that I didn’t know about grammar. I would recommend Gabriela because she has a passion for teaching.”

“Great Tutor. After corresponding with her for about a week and telling her where I wanted to be with my Italian, Gabriela met with me and completely reassured me that my goal was more than attainable. I recently had my first class with her, and to be honest, I had already done the traditional classroom Italian lessons, but I felt more comfortable using the method and lesson plan she came prepared with. We were speaking, reading, and doing basic grammar lessons within the first hour. Gabriela understood that I was a little more advanced than beginners, since I had taken an Italian course while I was abroad, and she didn’t keep me to the standard beginners curriculum, which I really appreciated. If you’re eager to learn and are looking for a patient and understanding tutor, Gabriela is it! I am looking forward to my next class with her!”

  “What Gabriela gives me was more than just knowledge. I took English and French lessons from her. From the beginning, she easily found out what is my weakness and strength. After our first class, she adjusted her lessons for me. The class was very flexible, however, it did not miss any points that I needed to learn. We focused on my weakness intensively and I knew I was improving. In a short time, with her effective lessons, I advanced my English ability and established a strong first step for my French. Since I learned how to study by myself from her, I truly believe that my English and French will get better from now on. When I think back, Gabriela gave me the confidence about my possibilities as well as the fastest way to learn foreign languages.”

Gabriela is very patient and creates very relaxed comfortable environment that helps to focus on the language. She is not pushing students but rather tries to understand where are the weaknesses and what pace is acceptable for a student. This was totally different experience from what we had before.

 “I wanted to learn French in anticipation of future work in global health. I appreciate that Gabriela was sensitive enough to tailor her lesson plans to my personal needs. She incorporated medical vocabulary into the curriculum and adapted the structure of the class to fit the style and pace of my learning. Furthermore, Gabriela is very knowledgeable about French culture, and her commentary on the French history enhanced my understanding of both the French and English languages. Her passion for languages was apparent in that she made every effort to provide comprehensive explanations for all my questions, including procuring a large variety of online-sources and examples. With Gabriela as my patient guide, I feel that in the last 6 months, I have quickly gained a solid foundation in French. “
