You cannot say "es gaben". In present tense it is es gibt. In past tense it is es gab. This is verb conjugation. It is very basic step in learning German.

I have not come across using 'es gaben'. In both cases ' There was ' & "There were" we use 'Es gab' whether it is plural or singular.

No "es gaben" is totally wrong , The right form is es gibt always.

To improve speaking ability (through individual classes) depends on your teacher only
Without hesitation, you should just start speaking. Another very good way of getting over the fear of speaking is to sing. Learn German songs. Sing them loud...sing along. This will help you to overcome the speaking hesitations.
