My name is Gaia and I am from Italy. I speak Italian and English fluently (with a C2 grade of English), conversational Spanish, and have basic knowledge of German, Slovene, and French. I have a TEFL qualification and have taught English as a tutor repeatedly for four years.
Besides my work as a teacher, I have worked in numerous professions, (such as translation and content creation) that have required a good level of English and speaking capability.
I have obtained two Bachelor’s degrees from the University of Groningen, one in Philosophy, and the other in Arts, Culture and Media. Both were taught in English and I received a first-class grade for both my theses. I have also just obtained a Master’s degree from the University College of Cork, which was also taught in English. As of November, I will be continuing my academic career as a PhD student at the Catolica School of Arts in Porto.
I am applying for the role of online English and Italian teacher. I believe that I have all of the necessary requirements and the skills pertinent to this task. I am a patient and friendly person, which has made me popular with my students. I enjoy watching people flourish under my tutelage and if I were to be working online, I would make myself available to them as much as my schedule could allow.
Being host and co-host of two podcasts, I have the equipment necessary for such a role (computer, headphones, and microphone) as well as the relevant experience to adapt to an online format. Despite this, sometimes I still mess up with my mic - be patient!
Thanks to my flexible schedule and an adequate dose of caffeine, I am available to teach students in different time zones, this is not an issue for me: I am an early bird anyway!
If you are interested in my skills or have any questions you would like to ask me, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am here :)
All the best,
Gaia
