Arianna was born in Sicily, Italy and lived there until she was 29 years old. She has a Master’s degree from the University of Perugia.

 

Her passion for teaching Italian to foreign students started during the second year of college. Soon the need became a passion to the point that she continued teaching foreign language students who were attending the University of Perugia.

​

In 2011 she arrived in Seattle. Within weeks of her arrival she began working at the Seattle Language International school (SLI) where she held Italian language and culture classes for students of all levels, until SLI’s closure in April 2015.

During those same years she also taught Italian language and culture courses to UW Honors Summer Rome Program students in order to prepare them for their summer courses abroad.

​

In 2020 Arianna was ready and eager for a new teaching adventure. She has decided to found Italiano4you with the goal to teach Italian language and culture to the Puget Sound Italophiles who want to thoroughly experience the language and culture associated with the famous Dolce Vita lifestyle. 

​

In her free time Arianna enjoys yoga, embroider and traveling. She travels to Italy once a year to touch base, experience her heritage and enhance her teaching methods.
