Mentoría de composición de canciones

Hi there! My name is Gabriela and I teach Songwriting, guitar, and Spanish.


My availability is wide open so I'm excited for you to book a class!

I wrote my first song at the age of 11, titled "Love", haha! I still sing it from time to time. Writing songs has been a way to document my life, emotions, experiences, and dreams. The power they hold is incredible and I hope to share it with others who are interested in exploring something new (or even if they've been too shy to start songwriting on their own!).

Teaching English as a second language started in 2016 while I was visiting family in Argentina. The course was called "Fun English" and we learned through playing games, making art, cooking, singing, and gardening. Upon returning to California I began teaching at a Spanish immersion preschool (2016-2019), where my professional focus was Spanish, Art, and Music. This preschool also offered an afterschool program for elementary school children in which I was very involved (I'm particularly proud of the songs we wrote and short films we made). 

Pre COVID-19 I was teaching through my own in-person workshops, once again in Argentina (similar to "Fun English", but now called "Mundos Compartidos"). 

Since the pandemic I've been fortunate to make Outschool my main classroom. I love it!

When I'm not teaching I am fully immersed in my craft as a singer-songwriter. As well as seeking other business opportunities such as selling songwriting journals on Etsy.

With a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, I find that I value - above all - the emotional comfort of each student (in a situation where their physical safety and health are already taken care of). This is because I believe learning is maximized when each person is comfortable, engaged, and in harmony with their self-expression. I value establishing trust in a student/teacher relationship, as well as hearing my student's learning needs, so I can assist them in a way that is best for THEM. 
I teach my subjects in a way that requires active participation and collaboration with activities such as games, conversations, and hands-on activities. 
Students hold the power to creating the learning experience that suits them best, and it's my job to guide them through realizing that power.

I can't wait to go on this journey with you!
