Hi, I’m Gaia and I teach Italian on italki. I specialize in helping beginners and intermediate learners speak Italian the way locals actually do! My background in psychology and years of experience tutoring students with dyslexia and ADHD have taught me one thing: everyone learns differently. So I adapt to how you think, what you need, and what makes Italian finally click. If you’re planning a trip to Italy, falling in love with Italian culture, or simply want to have a real conversation without freezing up, I’d love to help you get there! We’ll use plenty of Italian from day one, but don’t worry, I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, so no one gets left behind. Ti aspetto in aula!

I am so grateful to be working with Gaia - she is such a great instructor and has an amazing energy. I don't feel nervous to ask questions or clarifications, and I don't feel embarrassed having made mistakes. As a result, I feel that I've already improved greatly within only 3 lessons with her. Grazie, Gaia, e alla prossima!

My first lesson with Gaia was exceptional. I really appreicated her energy, flexibility and her clear desire to identify my particular needs and then meet or exceed them. Top notch!

I had a wonderful first lesson with Gaia! She has such a positive energy, which immediately made me feel comfortable speaking Italian and not afraid of making mistakes. She is a great listener, genuinely interested in the conversation, and very patient and encouraging. I also really appreciated how professional and attentive she was during the lesson. She took notes, gently corrected my mistakes, and even gave me helpful feedback at the end. I’m already looking forward to my next lesson with her!
