About Me
italki teacher since Sep 24, 2021
Bonjour! I am Marie (she/her/elle) :) I am a native speaker from France and a certified French teacher with four years of experience in tutoring and teaching online and in person! I studied History for four years, then I decided to stop this education to pursue my passion for cultural exchange. I did a professional training course and I obtained the DAEFLE (Diploma in teaching French as a foreign language) from the Alliance française Paris. I lived in Czech Republic, England, Scotland and I volunteered as a French teacher in Colombia! I like hiking, meditating, and reading. I am interested in art, sociology, psychology, and topics related to human rights and environment! Lgbtq friendly :)
Me as a Teacher
I am a patient, dedicated and caring teacher. I aim to make my students more confident and improve their French skills! I want to make my classes a safe space where learning and acquiring a new language is not stressful but interesting, more intuitive, and fun!
I am providing conversation practice lessons, general French lessons, and Story Learning lessons :) I adapt the lessons to the personality of my students and I am making my online lessons as dynamic as possible using digital tools! I will learn about my student’s motivations, goals, and level during the trial lesson. Then, I will adapt my lesson planning or recommend to them the type of lesson that fits their needs the most.
My lessons & teaching style
My conversation practice lessons will be personalised! We can engage in natural conversations or use pre-lesson materials. I will give some explanations about pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.
My general French lessons will be interactive! My students will improve their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. They will expand their vocabulary and their grammar skills. We will rotate between different types of materials!
In my Story Learning lessons, I will help my students to acquire the language in a natural way! I will tell stories according to their level to teach them new vocabulary and grammar subconsciously, like a child with their first language!

I love how she breaksdown the gaps of knowledge. It really helps to slowly digest the information because French is tricky but she makes it so fun! Its like talking to a friend! I feel so comfortable speaking with her in French that I love when she correct my mistakes, it adds to my vocabulary! Merci!

Marie is a fantastic and welcoming teacher. She presents her stories and materials well and is very encouraging. Learning a new language can be stressful but she really makes learning easy and fun. She chooses interesting topics to discuss and will work with you to structure the course to fit your needs. I really enjoy taking classes with her.
