Gaia Maria Terzi
@gaiamariaterzi
Dedicated language teacher with expertise in multicultural education.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate educator with extensive experience in teaching languages, particularly English and Italian, across various educational settings. Currently, I serve as a self-contained teacher at Saint Matthew School in Bogotá, where I strive to create an engaging learning environment that fosters student growth and language proficiency.
My journey in education has taken me from coordinating English programs at Gimnasio Fontana to developing Italian curricula aligned with CEFR standards at Ecci University. I have also contributed to international projects, such as the INEEd Uruguay project, where I specialized in item construction for language assessments. My commitment to education extends beyond the classroom, as I actively support vulnerable children in rural Peru through my work with ONG_Mato Grosso.
