TUTORS IN REGGIO EMILIA

Homestay> MARIAGRAZIA

Teaching qualification
* Degree in Pedagogy and Psychology.
* a 30-year-old experience as Italian teacher in a Primary School.
* Italian teacher for foreign people.


Hobbies and interests
I have always been very interested in the relationship between children and visual arts, fascinated by the creativity and richness of their world.
In these last years I have carried out projects related to Modern Arts in the schools and, in particular, I participated in the accomplishment of a didactic project about the work of the artist Alberto Burri, leading and coordinating Primary School’s children and teachers.
Besides a deep interest for every form of artistic and creative expression, I like gardening and I projected and realized my own garden, beginning from a big, empty space. My garden continues to suggest new ideas and requires a lof of my free time. I also like cooking very much.
I like new projects and different experiences which allow me to be in contact with people, sharing with them the special space where I live.


Accomodation
I live  in the countryside, in a big, old country house of the end of the 18th century. I renovated it trying to preserve its authenticity. I live at about 15 minutes by car from Reggio Emilia and half an hour from Parma.
Around my house there is a lot of green space and quietness. Here you can have beautiful walks and bike rides through the paths in the near fields.
I am very close to the hills and to the castles located in the land that was once owned by Matilde di Canossa.

I like meeting people from all over the world as I'm very interested in comparing different cultures and traditions. I love cycling, living in the open air, travelling, going to the cinema and theater and enjoying most of the cultural activities in my town.






Accomodation
I live with my family (my husband and my two kids) in a very quiet area of Reggio Emilia very close to a beautiful park not far from the city center. Our house is a three floor building with garden and we usually host people either in a tiny independent flat on the ground floor and in one big apartment at the first floor.

I have always been fond of languages; I started teaching English in a private school (it was my first job) and after a different satisfactory working path, I’m now into  languages again.



Accommodation, Facilities and Local Area
I live in a house situated in a quiet road near the center of Reggio Emilia. It consists of 2 units only. I live on the ground floor in a large, bright, furnished apartment overlooking the porch and the garden. The apartment is composed of a large entry, a laundry, two bathrooms, three bedrooms, a kitchen and a dining room. Spaces are well arranged allowing guests to rest or study or relax in due silence, privacy in a totally reserved area.




Hobbies and interests
I like hosting people from abroad as a different way to travel. This allows me to know and learn more about culture, habits, social problems of different countries. In my spare-time I like reading, going to the cinema and to the theater and enjoying the cultural activities in my town.
