About
Why I am an Educator: For over 20 years, I have been a language teacher from teaching English to teaching German. My greatest joy comes from seeing my students learn, grow, and meet their educational goals. Whether its for school, business or just for fun, learning a new language can be both fun and interesting.
My teaching style is: The Inspirer. As a lifelong learner myself, I know how important it is to have a reliable, compassionate, and understanding instructor. These are the major qualities I always bring to my students. Together, we will set goals, and I will walk you through this process step by step. Through open communication, honesty, and hard work, you will see that a new language can be mastered.
My methodology is: Communicative. This means, I focus on the basics. Building the learners ability to communicate such as asking and answering questions, travelling, and conversational speech. We will put great emphasis on proper pronunciation and grammar. You will learn by listening, reading and open discussions.
If you have any questions for me about my methods or how we might work together, please reach out to me.
Thank you,
Gaby
