Gabriela Ferrante - Spanish Teacher

Hello and Welcome. I am a qualified Spanish teacher and native of Argentina. For the past decade I have been teaching Spanish to students from all over the world both as an Instructor at a prestigious language Institute in Buenos Aires and as a Private Tutor. During my career, I have lived and taught in cities as diverse as Paris, Rome and, most recently, New York.
As you can see from my resume, I have extensive, international experience in Spanish Instruction. I teach using a modern, conversation-based method that is highly-effective. Although I am perfectly fluent in English and comfortable with French, Italian and Portuguese, classes are conducted solely in Spanish with no word-for-word translation at all. I have found that directed conversation classes produce results more quickly and painlessly than rote memorization.
As a trained teacher, I bring more to my classes than just a native speaker's basic understanding of the language. Classes are highly organized, fun and professional. From the initial skill level assessment, to the creation of a customized learning plan, your progress towards Spanish fluency is monitored and evaluated. New grammar and vocabulary are introduced systematically, tailored to both the interests and ability of each student.
During my career I have had the chance to teach both private and small group classes, at levels ranging from beginner to advanced. I have been able to live, study and travel throughout the world and have had the opportunity to teach and be taught by people from all walks of life. One of my favorite things about this profession, and the reason I remain excited and engaged by each student's progress, is that, in a very real way, teaching someone to speak a new language, opens a path between cultures. Give someone a new language and you give them a new world.
