Teaching people and helping them improve is my call in life. Learning must be done in collaboration among teachers and students, so if I don't know the answer to something, I'll do research on it so that everyone learns something new at the end of the day.
I believe that constant correction (while talking) is helpful to improve as long as it happens in a safe environment. So, if my students don't want to be corrected in that manner, it'll be okay. I'm here to provide a safe haven for learning.
Whatever your goal is, I'll accompany you and explore the language and its aspect as deeply as you are willing to go.
You make the rules. I bend them so that you can learn.My lessons & teaching style

Gabriel is an incredibly generous, thoughtful, and funny tutor, and I give him my highest recommendation. We especially connected because we are both fiction writers, but I imagine that he is able to help and support any kind of person with their language goals. For me, I was looking to improve my understanding of Chilean Spanish in advance of a work conference, and to practice speaking with my colleagues. Gabriel did a great job identifying vocabulary and topics that would be useful to me, as well as answering the specific vocabulary and usage questions I would usually bring to our sessions. Don’t hesitate to book a class with Gabriel!

Si pudiera darle ocho estrellas, lo haría. No solo como chiste privado porque acabamos de tener una conversación profunda y rica sobre el efecto de juzgar en el cerebro. Siempre me siento mucho más listo (y desafiado) después de hablar con él. Uno de mis profs favorito.

Had a great philosophical discussion which stretched my vocabulary and thinking in Spanish. Ahora tengo que pensar si el empatía es deber o derecho. :)

Gabriel was my teacher for 2 years.
He helped me to go through the TOEFL,
and, when I successfully passed it,
we continued to work together.
He always adjusted to my needs
(if I had troubles with grammar, we did grammar;
if I had troubles with speaking, we did it as much as possible, and so on).
In addition, I appreciate punctuality in others,
so I was glad to see him constantly in time.
Gabriel has done a great job, and I am very grateful!
