About Me
italki teacher since Mar 27, 2020InterestsScienceMedical & HealthcareFilms & TV Series
My name is Gabriel Zepeda. I grew up in Mexico City, but in February of 2020 I moved to London. I got my BA with honours in International Relations in Mexico. Then, I lived in Wales in 2011 and 2012 when I got my Masters Degree by Research in Media Culture and Communication, and I also lived for 9 months in Chicago, Illinois, and Columbus, Ohio; so I am fluent in English and Spanish. I enjoy international experiences and diverse cultures, and I have also visited almost 30 countries, maybe even yours. I am improving my French, so I understand what it feels like to learn another language; and now I'm ready and happy to help you learn too.Me as a Teacher
Since 2015 I have taught full time to students from 13 to 65 years of age, from basic academic skills to advanced business levels (for companies like Amazon, LinkedIn, Burger King and Walmart), and to people from all continents; always adapting to their needs. I got my certification as a foreign language teacher from the National Autonomous University of Mexico in 2019. I can switch from English to Spanish or vice versa if needed (but I generally prefer only to speak in the language I teach), and I can also support with different accents, formal expressions or slang. I have helped others presenting international certifications such as the IELTS, TOEFL and USA and Mexico citizenship. My lessons & teaching style
If my student wants enjoyable lessons with fun activities and a natural technique, I'm ready to help. I see myself more as a guide than a teacher because the most important thing for me is that my students improve by learning to learn. Generally, in the first lessons, I identify the learning needs of my students, and later we work with suitable activities.
We use images, songs, magazine articles, social media, videos, poems, comics, games and free exercises to focus on their goals. If they want help with school homework, or to make friends in trips, or to grow professionally, I'll be there. We can talk about anything, like art, movies, books, friends, news, food, sports or journeys.My teaching material

I can strongly recommend. I have tried some new cheaper teachers recently but really not found them as useful as Gabriel. Gabriel is punctual and supportive. His English language ability is very high and if I need an explanation in English he can understand and reply at a high level and I find that super useful to have the option to switch to English at anytime if I need to clarify anything. He can write in a google document rather than in the Skype text box and I prefer that, as the document becomes a useful learning resource to refer to after the lesson and then add to in future lessons. It’s like an online notebook which I find useful.

Gabriel's style is great! He is very attentive, patient, and great at typing out new vocabulary and other things I need to work on in the chat window while we talk, giving me plenty of notes to study afterwards. I look forward to more lessons with him!

Wonderful first class with Gabriel. He’s very patient and has a clear accent and easy to understand. Enjoyed talking to him. He has the best audio and visual capabilities I’ve experienced on italki thus far. Highly recommended and will look forward to my next work class with Gabriel!
