🙋♀️ My name is Marianna, and I'm a certified Italian teacher.
👩🏫 I've been teaching Italian online to adults since July 2020, and in May 2021, I received my CEDILS certification (teaching Italian as a foreign and second language). Later, I became a CELI examiner.
🗺️ My favourite Italian city is Venice 😸 I'm a cat-lover 🧙♀️ 🐍 if I were a Hogwarts student my house would be Slytherin.
My interests include 🎹 playing the piano 🏰 Disney and Studio Ghibli 🗾 and Japan.
👩🎓 In 2024 I gained my master's degree in Language Education, with a field of expertise in English and Italian as a foreign and second language.

Me as a Teacher
❤️ My students define me as a patient and kind teacher. My main goal is to make my classes a safe and peaceful place.
Here on italki I teach adults only, but in the offline world, I'm a supportive teacher for young SEN students at primary school.
My lessons & teaching style
In my video, I explain I offer General Italian lessons. Specifically, I use some of the most efficient textbooks, such as Nuovissimo Progetto Italiano and Nuovo Espresso, with some implementing materials. However, as now I have another part-time job at primary school, I decided to pause this kind of class and focus on the others, which are Conversation and CELI Preparation lessons.
⚠️ NO SHOW = CLASS AS COMPLETE: IF YOU CAN'T ATTEND THE CLASS, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE. I DON'T ACCEPT FORGETFULNESS.

Even after almost 80 lessons with Marianna, I am still enjoying our time together, like on the first day. She is incredibly friendly, encouraging, and helpful. In short, she is a wonderful teacher, and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to learn or improve their Italian.

Después de un par de clases y de haber probado otros profesores puedo decir que recomiendo bastante a esta profesora. Es simpática y las clases son relajadas y divertidas. Las clases son en italiano, cosa que considero fundamental a la hora de aprender un idioma, pero también habla español/inglés para explicar cualquier duda que pueda surgir. En poco tiempo he conseguido tener algunas conversaciones básicas. Sono molto contenta.

My wife and I recently started using the Ohana or couples lesson/package that Marianna offers. These couples lessons are fantastic, and she has created an interactive environment that is really fun and effective! The couples lessons increases our opportunities for organic discussion and interactions. We each have different strengths and weaknesses, so being in a lesson together allows us to support each other while also giving Marianna a different perspective and insight into our level of understanding.

Lo que más me gusta de Marianna es que sabe entender el ritmo del estudiante. Ella espera pacientemente a que hables, sin presionarte o interrumpirte. Esto hace que me sienta muy tranquila y no tenga miedo de equivocarme.
Además de esto, es muy organizada y profesional, prepara cada clase de manera metódica y adaptada a mis necesidades. He tenido otros profesores de italiano, pero con Marianna es con quien más siento que progreso. Puedo ver que se preocupa de verdad por mí y por mi aprendizaje. La recomendaría sin ninguna duda.

We really love the Ohana or "couples" lessons with Marianna! This lesson style really allows us to be more interactive in Italia in a more natural way. The lessons are fun, informative, and very effective! Marianna's patience and calming presence make us feel at ease, which is critical when you are learning another language!
