Available to hire
Hi, I’m Ajda Troha. I was born on 1999-07-03 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Communicology (Communication Studies - Media and Communication Studies) from the University of Ljubljana’s Faculty of Social Sciences in 2021 and a Master’s degree in Social Pedagogy from the University of Primorska, completed in March 2024. I recently completed a 168-hour Level 5 TEFL course in June 2025 and received the Qualifi Level 5 Diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language.
Since then I have worked and volunteered across Slovenia and Poland, focusing on education, youth work and inclusive learning. I have coordinated and delivered workshops, led international youth exchanges and contributed to research on student well-being. I’m passionate about empowering young people, inclusive education, and creating engaging, collaborative learning experiences.
