Ciao Studenti!!!!
My name is Marianna, I was born and raised in Milan, Italy before moving to Canada in 2015. I lived in the beautiful Okanagan Valley in Kelowna, B.C, for eight years. I have recently moved to Ontario with my family. I am married, have three children and a small dog. Teaching is my passion, and I love to help students to succeed in their goals of learning a new language and a new culture. I am also passionate about the history, art and food of Italy, and I always guide my students to immerse themselves in every aspect of Italian culture. I like to read, hike, and meet new people and make new friends. I love to cook for family and friends and to share recipes and stories about life and adventures. I look forward to meeting you online as we discover beautiful Italy together! -Marianna |
