I employ an eclectic teaching method that integrates various pedagogical approaches to best suit your learning needs.
My focus is on developing the skills that matter most to you.
My students find me patient, approachable, and effective; they learn a lot in a positive environment.

have had a number of lessons with Gisela, and intend to have more. She is extremely patient and knowledgeable. The lessons move at a good pace and the subject is always interesting. She corrects my mistakes in a kind, supportive manner and carefully explains how to improve what I am saying. If you want your Spanish to progress, I can truly recommend her.
