Gilda

Foreign Language/English Tutor

Teaching is my passion. I am a retired foreign language teacher from Rochester, NY who has taught in middle school, high school, and college, as well as adults in Adult Education. I hold permanent NY teacher certification in German, Spanish, and Russian K-12. I find teaching to be very rewarding and I miss the interaction with students. I enjoy the one on one aspect of tutoring because it enables me to tailor lessons to the specific needs of the student. The smiles on students' faces when the...

Very thorough, calm, patient. Also very resourceful in being able to catch my son up from deficiencies he had by taking FLVS Spanish 1 and 2 so that he can succeed in Spanish 3 in public HS this yr.


Tiina V. from Boynton Beach, FL

Gilda creates an excellent learning atmosphere. She works hard for our lessons and makes me also work harder to improve my English. She brings new exercises for every lesson and gives me challenging homework. Gilda has a great talent to recognize what I need to practice more and she encourages me to do my best. I feel relaxed and full of energy with her. We laugh a lot and have interesting conversations. Gilda brings me material about everyday American life as topics for our discussions. She is absolutely an excellent teacher.


Lyndsey D. from Lake Worth, FL

Gilda is a great tutor! She has been unbelievably flexible with my hectic schedule, and is always accommodating. She moves at a pace that you are comfortable with, and has such a natural way of teaching a challenging topic. Gilda is extremely knowledgeable and willing to do whatever it takes to help you reach your goal. I highly recommend Gilda and will refer all of my friends to her.

Kim J. from Lake Worth, FL

Gilda and I have been meeting once a week for a month now. I am learning Russian at a beginners level. Having never learned a foreign language before Gilda is making it very easy to understand. She is very patient and makes each lesson very enjoyable, so much so that the hour only seems to be about 5 minutes. I would strongly recommend Gilda as a tutor for any age. In addition, she is always early and well prepared for all of the lessons, she develops very good lesson plans, using books, objects, or verbal communication, Gilda does her best to make the material understandable and usable. I look forward to many more sessions with her.


Brian M. from Lake Worth, FL

Gilda did a great job tutoring my daughter. She was always very prepared and provided excellent detailed notes after each lesson so I could follow along and my daughter could prepare for the next lesson. I highly recommend her.


Susan B. from Boca Raton, FL

I enjoyed meeting Gilda today to review what my long-term goals are for learning Russian. It is obvious that Gilda is a seasoned teacher, and I am pleased that in the near future we will begin regular tutoring sessions. My only regret is that due to my scheduling, we will have to wait til mid September to resume with regular sessions.


Nadja F. from West Palm Beach, FL

Both our kids, 6 and 8, enjoy going to the library to meet Ms. Gilda for their German lessons. She is so patient and sweet with them! She is always well prepared, very encouraging, and a lot of fun. The kids love her!


Dagmar P. from West Palm Beach, FL

Gets you working, explains the real context of what people say in different situations, but with firm overview of the language.


Debra D. from Boynton Beach, FL

Gilda was very honest and upfront during our initial phone consultation. She met with my daughter for an hour, evaluated her skills, gave her helpful information and offered her opinion that at this point, she didn't see the need for my daughter to have a tutor. I very much appreciated her honesty and evaluation of my daughter's skill level and the helpful tips she provided her with.


Mitchell S. from West Palm Beach, FL

Gilda is very helpful in pointing me in the right direction in my German studies, and answers every question I have in the best way possible. Also gives good recommendations on what I can do outside of our tutoring lessons. She is a very nice teacher, and would highly recommend!


Bill B. from Boynton Beach, FL

Once again I appreciate Gilda's patience and competency. She is both clear in her explanations and in her expectations (homework) for me. I especially appreciate her pragmatic approach.
