ENGLISH INTRODUCTION

Hello, my name is Gabriella! I have experience teaching English for adults and for children. Teaching is my true passion, especially working with children. It is amazing to see their development when you give them space to grow and to express themselves. I am currently living in Japan with my husband. I have been living in Tokyo for almost three years. I can fluently speak Portuguese and English. I also have intermediary level in Spanish and basic level in Japanese.

I was born in Brazil and, throughout my life, I was also educated in English, achieving a native level in the language. I graduated in Political Science, earning a Master’s degree at Universidade de Brasilia, in Brazil. Throughout my academic career, I also studied in North American and European institutions, such as University of Maryland Baltimore County (Maryland – USA), the London School of Economics and Political Science, LSE, (London – UK) and Rhema Bible Training College, RBTC, (Oklahoma – United States).

Besides having experience as a preschool teacher in Tokyo, I have also worked as a private English tutor. I had students from various learning backgrounds and different English levels. I like to work with each student individually, addressing each necessity in accordance to their specific career goals. I also use different teaching approaches, depending on students’ deficiencies. I have seen great improvements in all my students, regardless of their initial levels. Private tutoring helped me to improve my ability to understand the needs of each student, helping them to overcome their challenges.

As I said previously, I truly love working with children. It is rewarding to see them developing, connecting and communicating to you through their actions and words. Besides teaching, other hobbies and activities I most like to do with them are dancing, doing arts and crafts, cooking easy recipes (we can cook together, since cooking is a nice way for them to learn practical life and train their motor coordination), outdoor activities and reading. We can have lots of fun together!

CANCELLATION POLICY (all times are calculated from the start time of the scheduled job):
* 48+ hours before scheduled sitting: No cancellation fee
* Between 48 - 24 hours: 50% of the sitting fee
* Within 24 hours: 100% of the sitting fee (+transportation cost if I am already in transit)

It will be a pleasure to assist you with your child! I am excited to work with you! Please, feel free to contact me!

Além de ter trabalhado como professora infantil em Tokyo, também tenho trabalhado como tutora particular. Já tive estudantes de diversos níveis de inglês. Gosto de trabalhar com cada estudante de forma individual, atendendo cada uma de suas necessidades de acordo como suas expectativas e objetivos. Também tenho usado diferentes metodologias, dependendo das limitações de cada aluno. Com isso, tenho visto grande progresso em cada um dos meus alunos, independente de seus níveis iniciais.

Experience

Assistant Teacher at Sesame International Preschool (Tokyo)
Period of time: from January/2021 to October/2021
Task: From January to mid-May, my task was to assist the main teachers from toddlers’ class (0-2 years old) in doing crafts, supervising the children, writing daily reports on their notebooks about their daily performances, changing diapers, feeding them and making them sleep – overall, assisting in everything needed. From mid-May to August, it was Summer Camp season; therefore, I started to be trained to be in charge of the toddlers’ class.
From September to October, I was in charge of the preschool class (3-5 years old). One of my main tasks was to teach children on writing and reading in English and on counting numbers. Throughout my time at Sesame, I was also put to teach on two after school programs (with children from 3-12 years old) – one related to teaching subjects in English (math, science, story, art, geography) to ESL students and the other was to exercise with them.

Private English Tutor – remote work - working with adults.
Period of time: from September/2020 - currently.

Assistant Teacher at Grace International Learning Center (Tokyo)
Period of time: from September/2019 to June/2020.
Task: Assisting the main teacher in planning and implementing a program to teach young children (0-5 years old), ensuring the children were supervised and were involved in safe and appropriate activities at all times. Ensure the cleanness and the maintenance of the equipment and facility.

I can change diapers, put them to sleep, give a bath, read stories and play games.

おうち英語でお世話になりました。
とても楽しい時間でした!
最初は恥ずかしがっていたこどもたちでしたが、とても明るくて優しい方だったので、帰宅後にはまた来てくれる?と聞かれました。
またリピートして、英語に慣れ親しんでほしいと思います。
楽しい時間をありがとうございました!

Gabi san sees what my children want to do, and plays with them in whatever they like. My children read books on her lap.
She brings some stuff that they can play or read together.
夕飯を食べる時、子供が食べるのに飽きて時間がかかってしまってもいつも優しく見守り、子供に寄り添ってくれます。

とても明るく素敵な方です。連絡もスムーズです。人見知りの子供達も、帰ってほしくない、また来て欲しい!とのことで、一回で大好きになりました。
工作が好きと話したら色々アイディアをもってきてくれました。兄弟2人みていただいたのですが、それぞれ年齢に合ったやり方をしてくれました。今後ともよろしくお願いします。
She is very bright and nice. Smooth communication as well. Even my shy kids want their her to come again! They loved her after one visit.
I told her that my kids liked crafts and she came up with lots of ideas. and she did a great job with each of them in an age-appropriate way. I look forward to working with you again in the future.

とても明るくて楽しいガブリエラさんです。娘のお友達として遊んでほしいとのリクエストに快く答えて下さいました。娘の要望に合わせて室内や庭で過ごしてくれました。娘は英語のリスニングはできるけど、スピーキングの機会があまりないため普段英語は話しませんが、ガブリエラさんと遊びたくて自然と英語が出てきたように思います。ぜひまた来てほしいです!

Gabriella was very courteous and professional. She brought coloring books and craft supplies and played with my daughter with them . Amazingly, the theme of the crafts was princesses, which may have been prepared to match my daughter's introduction. After Gabriella left our house, she continued to play with the princess castle and plates she had made. Thank you Gabriella!

Gabriella is really great. She is very nice and friendly, and knows how to effectively communicate with little kids.

While our two boys were a little nervous about the new setting with a stranger, she instantly created a very friendly atmosphere at the outset, and the kids started interacting with her very naturally. (I was expecting that I needed to join them until the kids get used to the sitter, but that wasn’t necessary, so I could just focus on my work while they were playing.)

Upon my request, she kept talking in English only. When my kids started speaking Japanese, she very nicely but firmly persuaded them to speak English, which was also great.
She speaks native English (as far as I can tell ;-) )
