She has taught both our English and French levels. She has also been named teacher of the month several times. She is well respected and liked by both our team of teachers, staff and her students.
Mariella is half Japanese and speaks the language fluently. She has shown an interest in becoming more involved at EC. She started helping out with test invigilation and assisting us in our communication with beginner Japanese students.
She has been named our Japanese counselor and will be leading student focus groups with our Japanese students as well as orientation sessions with our Japanese groups.
