My name is Gaia, and I am from Italy. I am a PhD candidate and certified coach, offering Italian and English classes, particularly for those looking to improve their conversational skills.

My Linguistic Skills:
I am fluent in both Italian and English (C2 level in English), speak conversational Spanish, and have a basic understanding of German, Slovene, and French. I hold a TEFL qualification and have over six years of experience teaching English as a tutor.
My Academic Background:
(2022/2025) PhD Candidate at the Porto School of Arts, currently writing my thesis on the concept of "home" in times of climate change.
(2023) Certified Coach Diploma from Oxford Home Study College.
(2021/2022) First Class Honours Master’s Degree from University College Cork, Film and Screen Media Department.
(2018/2021) Two First Class Honours Bachelor's Degrees from the University of Groningen: one in Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence and Cognition, and the other in Arts, Culture, and Media.
My Offer:
In addition to language tutoring, I work as a writer, literary translator, and video creator. I am available for writing tips, proofreading services, and tutoring sessions in these areas.
As a podcaster and video creator, I have the necessary equipment for online teaching (computer, headphones, and microphone) and extensive experience adapting to online learning environments.
My Availability:
Thanks to my flexible schedule (and a healthy dose of caffeine!), I am available to teach students across different time zones—I’m an early bird anyway!
If you're interested in my skills or have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I'd be happy to help.
Best regards,
Gaia
