I've been teaching English in NYC since 2011. Since then, millions of students have enjoyed my lessons and teaching methods on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and have benefitted from my fun and engaging classes, lessons and programs both on-line AND in person.
My goal is to help you become a confident English speaker in any social situation.

I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about idioms, phrasal verbs, expressions, etc. used on a daily basis. English with Gabby is a real interaction with Gabby, who is extremely attentive, fun and has an excellent teaching style."

"Even though I've been an English teacher for 30 years, married to an American who is also a teacher, traveling around the US and experiencing the language and culture for years, what I learned in Gabby's course has immensely enriched my vocabulary, and I even had the opportunity to have great conversations using the content of the classes with her and with incredible people from all over the world! I loved it!"
- Rosana [Brazil]

"I absolutely loved taking the Real Life English: From Classroom to Conversation course! Over the 8 weeks, I learned so much more than just vocabulary—I gained the confidence to actually use English like a native speaker in real-life situations. The 7X S.P.E.A.K Method was a game-changer for me. By the end of each week, I didn’t just memorize words; I truly understood and applied them naturally, thanks to the engaging video lessons, interactive practice activities, and live classes. The community was so supportive, and having personalized feedback from the teacher made all the difference. This course is an incredible value and I highly recommend it to anyone ready to take their English skills to the next level!

The course is LIVE for 8 weeks, with 4 additional self-study bonus units/modules for a total of 12 weeks, however, you can go as slowly as you'd like since you have lifetime access to the course.
Many students attend the live classes without having completing the units for the week and that's okay. You'll still benefit greatly from the live classes and be able to practice with other students from all over the world.
Once registration closes, we vote on times that are convenient for most students. However, typically we've done one class on a weekend and one class during the week.
No. The LIVE classes are NOT mandatory, they're optional. We'll be recording the sessions in case you miss them.
