Huomenta! I´m Anna Zanini, a 31 years old kindergarten teacher from Italy.

I´m originally from Padua, a city in the north-east of Italy, next to Venice, but nowadays I live in Bordighera, near the France border, in north-west side of Italy.
I graduated as Graphic Designer in 2006, and after working several years with kids as miniclub animator, I realized that I wanted to be a teacher. So I graduated as teacher in Padua´s University.

I love sports and outdoor activities: I worked several seasons as ski-instructor in Sankt Moritz in Switzerland, I love snowboarding, hiking and in summer I love surfing, swimming, windsurfing, stand up paddeling, and all the sports that let me be in contact with nature.

Handcrafts and use of creativity are other two of my biggest hobbies: I love to create as more as possible things with any sort of material, I love painting, drawing, sewing and everything that can give me the opportunity to express myself.

I love to travel and to discover new places, new cultures, new styles of life. For this reason I like to learn languages: at the moment I can speak French, English, German and Spanish, and that´s the reason why I´m learning Finnish (I love it). Obviously I´m not perfect in this languages, but I know what I need to make basics conversations. Travelling makes me understand how much we can learn from different cultures, how much differences can be resources for all of us, and I hope that children can breath this kind of opportunity.

I´m a motivated, optimistic and enthusiastic person, that love to knew people and share ideas and experiences with them.I´m curious and that´s why I love learning always new things. This is also the reason why I love to work with children: while I´m teaching them they teach me something new every day! They make simple what´s look complicated!

I´m in Mutala school for an internship as teacher and I work mainly in 6^th grade class with Tarja.

I´m really motivated to be the best teacher that I can be, for this reason I came here in Finland where the school system is considered the best in the world. I love my job and to be in this school with this amazing staff is an opportunity to learn and I will enjoy it as much as I can. Thank you for welcome me here!
