Testimonials

I met Gisela and after going to three different Spanish schools and an other personal tutor, I found her to be by far the best out of everyone. Gisela was very thorough and she directed the classes to areas of personal interest, ensuring that they were more fun and relevant. I found it very helpful that Gisela would occasionally speak in English to explain a new concept. My previous teachers had refused to do this which resulted in confusion when trying to learn a fairly basic principle of Spanish.
Gisela also proved to be an excellent person to talk to about local history and question about local culture, as she is very much aware of the rest of the world, enhancing her analysis of her own culture.
I very highly recommend Gisela and I wish that i had have taken lessons with her much earlier in my Buenos Aires experience.

My girlfriend (now my wife) and I took Spanish lessons with Gisela for three fairly intensive weeks.  We had two daily sessions from Monday to Friday for three weeks to provide us with a base before travelling through Latin America.

We were both very impressed with Gisela’s classes and the amount that we learned by the end of the three weeks.  The classes always consisted of a good combination of professionalism and fun.  She even brought us to the art gallery with her friends one night which allowed us to use our Spanish in an everyday environment! Gisela has a natural ability of understanding how a student is most comfortable learning and seems to adapt her teaching methods to that style.

I would highly recommend Gisela to anyone interested in learning Spanish in Buenos Aires.

In attending Gisela Giunti's espanollessons, I found Gisela to be very friendly, encouraging, thorough and helpful.  We tailored a plan to suit my Spanish speaking needs and progressed from there!  I found studying with Gisela was an enjoyable environment to learn in and I would highly recommend her and the school as a fantastic way of studying the language.  Thanks again Gisela!!!!

I moved to Buenos Aires for three months to take Spanish lessons and experience the Argentine culture. A friend recommended I take private lessons with Gisela. I studied with Gisela for almost three months
and couldn't be happier with the results!  I instantly felt very comfortable with Gisela and her teaching 
style.  It was obvious to me that Gisela took her job seriously and was genuinley concerned that I learned.
 
I never felt pressure from Gisela to study more outside of class or to do homework when I didn't have
time.  Gisela lets you set the pace of the class based on your personal committment of time and energy to
learning the language.  She is extremely effective at explaining complex rules of grammar and word usage. 
She celebrates your successes whether big or small. If I ever have the opportunity to return to Buenos Aires I will no doubt call upon Gisela to once again act as my Spanish teacher.

My name is JP Connolly, I am an American currently studying in a graduate program. I spent time in Buenos Aires in the spring of 2006 and, while there, I studied with Gisela Giunti (I think 6-8 sessions). My experience with Gisela was excellent. She tailored our lessons to my specific needs and created exercises that built my conversational skills. Gisela was always prepared with specific exercises and assignments that focused on my interests, and if I wanted to talk/ask questions about something unrelated she was able to turn these diversions into new useful lessons.

I would recommend Gisela without hesitation to any potential students.

I would like to recommend Gisela Giunti as one of the best spanish teachers in Buenos Aires! she provides excellent individual tutoring, with classes tailored to fit the student's interests and needs. Class activities and homework assignments are specifically targeted to the student's level. Classes are strong on grammar, but also include conversation, cultural topics, and lots of fun! Gisela's manner is very professional and friendly. She is very patient, speaks excellent English, and speaks spanish very clearly and slowly, so that it is very easy for foreigners to understand!

During the months of June and July 2008, I attended approximately 12 private Spanish lessons, taught by Gisela Giunti. Unlike many language lessons, Gisela's classes were tailored to my needs and she maintained a real commitment to grammar as well as the nuances of conversation in Argentina and Buenos Aires more specifically. 
 
I found the lessons extremely beneficial and was able to improve my Spanish quickly, thanks to the progressive nature of Gisela's teaching and her ability to pin point exactly where I needed the most help! 


As well as being extremely professional, Gisela has a natural flair for teaching and engages her students in the content. She conveys a passion for teaching and Spanish and helps students learn the language and understand the Argentine way of life. 
 
I thoroughly recommend Gisela as a Spanish teacher in Buenos Aires and had a great time over the course of my many lessons with her.

I would be more than happy to provide a reference for Gisela. She very
quickly determind my level. I was self taught on arriving in South
America and she helped me to fill in the gaps in my knowledge, and help
reverse the mistakes I was making in teaching myself.

Her lessons were diverse and she was more than happy to concentrate on
 conversational Spanish which I had requested. They moved at a pace I 
found comfortable 

My only regret is that I could not afford more time or money in Buenos
Aires with her.

"I found Gisela professional, knowledgeable and most of all fund to learn with. I came to Argentina with absolutely no knowledge of Spanish and generally awful at languages and felt by the second week I could at least ask for the basics and get around the beautiful city of Argentina. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to make the most of Argentina and the wonderful world of Spanish"

 Lic. Gisela Giunti is an excellent Spanish instructor.  She is organized, hard-working, and very enthusiastic.    Also, as a caveat, the Spanish spoken in Argentina has more of an Italian influence, and hence more idiosyncrasies than the Spanish spoken through-out the rest of South and Central America.  But, I also can't imagine a more fun or cosmopolitan town to study in than Buenos Aires!

Michaela and Daniel Willisegger stayed for a one week spanish course at
 Gisela's place. 
Our goal was to  begin our one year cycling trying to get around with basic spanish skills in order to travel in south america. Gisela teached us very well in the 
neccesary grammar and speaking including for specific traveling situations
with the bike. We very liked Gisela, her top skills in teaching spanish as 
well as knowing her as really kind and charmful person. 
We fully can recommend Gisela to everybody.

What I liked about your lesson was that when I asked only to concentrate on 
speaking we did that. I already knew the basics and couldn't learn much in 
one week so that was a good mix.  After a week I dared to speak, before I did 
not, and  after a few weeks traveling through Argentina I only spoke 
Castellano. Gramatically it was not the best, but people understood me.
So, thank you for the nice lessons and hope to see you again sometime, in 
The Netherlands or in Argentina.

While I was in Buenos Aires in December 2009, I spent one week taking Spanish lessons with Gisela Giunti and I would highly recommend her as a teacher. Her classes are very personalized and much more interesting than the traditional teach-student interaction. The classes were more of a conversation over coffee than a lecture, she incorporated technology into her lessons, and even introduced me to some online resources that I could make use of later. Not only was the atmosphere conversational and fun, it was also professional and customized to my level and interests. I think she would be great for people with some background in Spanish who would like an immersive review of the language. However, her English is excellent so a more elementary-level Spanish speaker would also be comfortable communicating with her. I thoroughly recommend Gisela and had a successful time studying Spanish with her!

Gisela came highly recommended and lived up to her reputation as one of the best in Buenos Aires. She took the time to create personalized classes based my interests and came prepared with interesting material. I learned a lot! Thanks, Gisela!

Gisela is an ideal teacher – warm and engaging, she immediately puts you at ease and makes talking about different topics easy, no matter what your level of Spanish. She’s great fun to talk to but also highly professional and dedicated to seeing improvement, she quickly focuses in on errors and areas for improvement and works with students in a goal-oriented way to achieve results. In my first week I had made big steps forward in my spoken Spanish and she had identified the key areas of grammar and pronunciation for us to work together on. Gisela is dedicated to developing her teaching methods and learning new ones, and she’s naturally very perceptive about how different students learn – she identified my interests and modified our learning programme in line with that, providing me with learning materials and exercises that I always found interesting and which gave me some fantastic insights into Argentine culture. I studied with Gisela for over two months and enjoyed every minute – the language I learned and the insights I gained hugely enriched my experience in Buenos Aires and brought my Spanish up to a level I’m very happy with. I’d recommend her wholeheartedly to students of any level.
