About the Instructor
Marianna Di Meo
Italian Instructor
Marianna has taught a wide range of students for the past fifteen years, from elementary to
adult. A native speaker of Italian, she grew up spending her summers in Napoli, forging a
connection with friends and family overseas from her home state of Maryland. She holds a
double M.A. in French and Spanish from George Mason University and currently teaches middle
and upper school language classes at an independent school in Manhattan. In an effort to
maintain a high proficiency level in French and Spanish, Marianna has traveled, studied, or
volunteered in France, Canada, Spain, Peru, and the Galápagos. She earned the Pulsera
Project fellowship in 2019, spending her summer in Guatemala. A true believer in
comprehensible input strategies, she has attended numerous workshops and trainings, and recently implemented a reading program for her middle school classes. While she loves using a variety of strategies in her teaching, she believes that connecting with her students is the best way to create engaging lessons and get them towards proficiency. Fun fact: She’s traveled to more than 30 countries!
