What an amazing learning environment! Our daughter has been a student at Cleveland Montessori for…read morethe past four years. She started in the primary program, completed that three-year learning cycle, and is now in the elementary program as a 1st grader. Cleveland Montessori stays true to the Montessori method outlined by Dr. Montessori, and in these turbulent times, especially in the public education and curriculum space, it is comforting to know that my daughter is learning from the time-tested materials. The other thing that is important to me about raising children in our culture is that the school is screen-free. The children have a warm, analog space to love to learn for a lifetime. Lastly, it has to be noted that the school is housed in a century-old building with character, nestled in historic Little Italy blocks away from University Circle, and they walk (in all weather) to a fabulous playground in the neighborhood! All in all, a very, very good choice for building an amazing foundation for life.

I returned to Cleveland for a visit and was excited to attend Ma Rainey's Black Bottom in the new…read moretheater. While I might have enjoyed the performance much more, I was so uncomfortable in the seat, I could barely pay attention. I'm under 5'3" and my knees were touching the back of the seat in front of me and while I am a woman of some size, I could not stretch my legs out in the least, my arms on both sides were plastered next to my neighbor's arms and the seats were low to the point I felt like I was nearly in a squatting position. I can't imagine how much more uncomfortable a taller or larger person would be. I was counting the minutes for the performance to end and was so delighted to leave the torture of those seats, I skipped the discussion session. Whoever configured those seats, obviously didn't sit in them for a nearly 3 hour show. I was with a group of 4 and we all agreed that as much as we love to support community theater, we would never attend again unless we sit in the front or handicapped rows. You would need to be the size of a child to be comfortable sitting anywhere else in that theater.

I am extremely satisfied with the teaching and above all with the way knowledge was delivered -- it…read morewas tailored to each child individually. We started with in-person 1:1 English lessons and will continue online as well. I would highly recommend Gabrielle to anyone -- both native English speakers and those learning it as a foreign language. Gabrielle has an incredible amount of patience, positive energy and a kind, encouraging approach toward children. Mine learned an incredible amount in just two months. The progress was especially noticeable with my younger one (seven years old), who went from almost no knowledge to being able to communicate independently in English after two months. The kids practiced the language actively every day, which is why the results came so quickly. In addition to learning English, they also became more familiar with American culture, gaining valuable insights into everyday life in the U.S.. This has been an excellent educational experience -- Gabrielle's teaching style and approach have truly paid off for us. Highly recommended!

This provides me with understanding, empathy, curiosity, and a readiness to continue learning everyday how I can help each student grow. I have completed TEFL/TESOL level 5, Teaching Online, as well as Teaching Neurodiverse Students certifications. I am also enrolled in college and on my path to becoming a speech pathologist. I am a very friendly and fun person. I like to be silly and find ways to make the things we learn in class more memorable. Aside from teaching, I am a mom to a son, who I have homeschooled since preschool in 2020, as well as having adopted my teenage little sister in law with special abilities. I enjoy getting to know you and creating a custom lesson plan that best suits your wants, needs, goals, and learning style. Let's learn some English together!
