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.

She is articulate, warm, and clearly passionate about working with children.
Her English is excellent, and her thoughtful approach to childcare came through in every part of our conversation. She took the time to understand our daughter’s personality and asked all the right questions about routines, preferences, and our family’s expectations.
Our 3-year-old, who is usually reserved with strangers, responded positively to Gabi’s calm and gentle presence. We appreciated her professionalism and the genuine care she showed.

This was our first time, but I was impressed by how quickly she connected with my 1.5-year-old son. They spent the time singing, playing ball, and reading together. Because she watched over him during his meal, he was able to eat everything and enjoyed it more than usual. My son was very happy afterwards, and we look forward to booking with you again.

Gabriella has been coming to our home for about a year. Both my daughter and I love her! She has a loud and clear voice and talks a lot, so we can shower our child with English! She is also very enthusiastic, so our child enjoys it and it also gives me energy. I think it's amazing how she comes up with so many creative ideas when interacting with children. I learned a lot from her. She made crafts, sang songs, read picture books, and came up with so many fun ideas! I respect her for how much she truly loves working with children. I'm really glad I met Gabriella!

約1年間ガブリエラさんに来てもらっていました。私も娘もガブリエラさんが大好きです!声が大きくハッキリしていて、たくさん話してくれるので、英語のシャワーを子供にたくさん浴びせる事が出来ます!テンションも高く接してくれるので、子供も楽しめますし、私も元気をもらえました。子供と関わる際にたくさんの工夫をしてくれるので、すごいと思いました。私も勉強になりました。工作をしたり、歌を歌ってくれたり、絵本を読んだり、楽しい企画をたくさん考えてくれました!子供と関わる事が心から好きな方なんだなと、尊敬しています。本当にガブリエラさんと出会えて良かったと思っています!

I used it in "Ouchi English". From the beginning to the end, she talked to my daughter a lot, so even my shy daughter was able to open up to her right away and we had fun playing together. My daughter was talking a lot more than usual. And in English! She is not only a professional ``Ouchi English'' teacher, but also a professional sitter. I had a great time with her and I would definitely ordet her again.

おうち英語で利用しました。最初から最後まで、たくさん娘に話しかけてくれたので、シャイな娘もすぐに打ち解けて楽しく遊んでました。私も嬉しかったです。娘はいつも以上に話してました。しかも英語で!充実した時間を過ごせました。またぜひお願いしたいです!!

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。

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.
