Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Gabriella G.'s First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

Gabriella's lessons are very informative and instructive. She doesn't just stick to the textbooks, but also teaches useful everyday phrases and colloquialisms. She's very patient and the lessons are great fun! My Italian has really improved in the months since I started lessons with her.

Gabriella has been excellent from our first contact. We quickly found a mutually convenient time for a tutoring session and every communication has been timely and helpful. I was looking to find a tutor who could instil some confidence in my daughter in the lead up to her GCSE Latin exam. Within a few short weeks she is already feeling more positive about the subject. Thank you : )

Gabriella is patient, friendly and informative . Gabriella teaches at a pace that suits my ability. I am slowly gaining confidence in speaking / reading Italian. I certainly would recommend Gabriella for anyone learning a new language.

My lessons with Gabriella are useful and enjoyable. She has listened to my specific needs and suggested the right approach to meeting them. She gives advice on how Italian is actually used day-to-day as well as helping me understand the practicalities of being in Italy. Very much recommended.

Bethany has had a couple of lessons so far and really enjoyed her time with Gabriella from the start. She has had a number of private tutors over the years but she she really enjoyed these lessons. Bethany has a busy sports schedule but we will definitely be booking some more lessons when we can fit them in.

We contacted Gabriella 9 months ago for latin tuition for my 15 year-old daughter. Gabriella responded within 24 hours and we were able to make arrangements to start lessons very quickly. As my daughter was learning latin at home (and not being taught at school) Gabriella adapted her approach to broaden and enrich my daughter's learning, filling in the gaps and completing the GCSE curriculum. I found Gabriella a real pleasure to communicate with. Her care and consideration for my daughter's GCSE school workload was excellent and realistic, and has resulted in us looking at ways she can take latin GCSE indecently of school after her GCSE'S are completed. My daughter has really enjoyed learning with Gabriella and looked forward to her zoom lesson each week. It was easy to make contact if we needed to rearrange the lesson time, and payment was straightforward. I am really happy to recommend Gabriella wholeheartedly. We feel very lucky to have found her.

We only had a few lessons with Gabriella and had to stop for personal reasons but the few sessions my daughter did have with Gabriella for Spanish she found extremely beneficial. Gabriella is an expert in her field and is able to guide/ advise her tutees in a manner which they can easlily follow and comprehend. She is very passionate and this comes through in her teaching. I would strongly recommend Gabriella for Spanish GCSE.

I had been searching for a suitable Italian teacher for ages and am delighted to have found Gabriella. Listening to a native Italian speaker I think is extremely important so Gabriella ticks that box. We are working our way through an Italian text/work book and I am thoroughly enjoying our lessons. I know that Gabriella teaches many children and I can see why she would be good at this as she is very patient! I would highly recommend Gabriella to anyone wanting to learn Italian. CW - DORSET UK

We had only 2 lessons with Gabriella. To be very honest there are not structured lessons, no plan for her lessons. My child was confused and couldn't focus at all. Waisted time and money.

I have only had two sessions so far with Gabriella, but have enjoyed them and found her approach friendly, and with a light touch. She has been very helpful for me in covering and consolidating some of the basics of Italian.

We have been with Gabriella for over a year now and have found her mixture of both text book and general conversation to be very helpful in furthering our knowledge and communication in Italian. We would recommend her, especially for people like us who already have limited knowledge. Being Italian herself she can bring both the text book language and the reality to the classroom which means our confidence is building. Thank you Gabriella

Gabriella is a fantastic tutor. I could not have wished for a better one. When I was in school I really struggled to learn French and German. This has now all changed, Gabriella has been patient, professional, personable and all round brilliant. She has explained the why behind the meanings and reasoning, which is great to learn the history of the language. I was so nervous about finding the right tutor but feel very lucky that I have found such an amazing teacher. I would defiantly recommend her to anyone, at any skill level wanting to improve their language skills.
