Dear parents and students!
My name is Mariana Marinich. I teach ESL for grades K-2 at Cherry Hill school in River Edge. I started my career as a teacher of Russian language and Literature in Ukraine. I graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson University, NJ with a Master's Degree in Education. I am a certified teacher of English as a Second Language in New Jersey.
I was once an immigrant to the United States, so I can empathize with my students. Learning a new language and culture can be extremely difficult, but rewarding at the same time. I am bilingual, and I think that bilingualism is a great asset. I have two wonderful bilingual children who are proud of their background.
I see the role of the ESL teacher as an advocate for the students. I collaborate with your children's classroom teachers, and provide support for my students during their learning process. I want my students to succeed and reach their full potential.
In my free time I enjoy reading, going to the shows and movies, and spending time with my family and friends.
I am always happy to help my students and their parents.
Please contact me at marinichm@riveredgeschools.org if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
I hope we have a wonderful school year!
