I had the pleasure of working with her for two years (I started in my IBDP year), during which time we laughed, had interesting debates, practised until perfection in both simple and advanced grammar, and above all, she taught me how to score perfect marks in all the IB Spanish B components.

Ms. Gaby, as a native speaker with experience in both Latin American and Spanish variants, and as an examiner, possesses unparalleled expertise in teaching Spanish. She has a profound understanding of the language and a remarkable ability to convey complex concepts in a clear and concise manner, making easy simplifications and comparisons with English or other languages she speaks. Her teaching methods are innovative, consisting of making the student talk and produce almost without noticing it. Additionally, her resources are tailored to the individual needs of each student, ensuring that every lesson is engaging and effective. She created a Google drive where she organized all my material, took notes of the persistent mistakes, and added effective tricks and hacks for the exam that were exclusively created for me.

One particular instance that stands out is when I struggled with the subjunctive—a challenging concept for many Spanish learners. Ms. Gaby employed a unique approach by integrating it into a real-life project that involved organizing a mock event. This hands-on method not only cemented my understanding of the subjunctive but also made learning incredibly fun and memorable. Her ability to transform complex grammar rules into engaging, practical exercises is just one example of her innovative teaching methods.
