Hi there! I’m Marie. I am from Washington state and now I have been in Madrid, Spain for eight years now. Throughout the last eight years I have been teaching English in person and online specifically to ESL (English as a Second Language) adults as well as two years in a public primary school in Madrid. I enjoy learning languages, playing tennis and padel, and hanging out with my friends. I currently work in business at a fashion brand in Madrid. **I do not teach children.
Me as a Teacher
I am a very easy going teacher. I like to spend the first class just understanding what you want/need from me as your English teacher. From there, I adapt to the student's pace and correction preference. I build off of previous lessons to ensure you are well-rounded and understanding grammar concepts and vocabulary.
My lessons & teaching style
If you are looking for conversation, you have come to the right place! The majority of my students want to practice speaking. In each class, we can have a casual conversation on a variety of topics where you will discover: new vocabulary and phrases, prepositions and pronunciation.
However I can also prepared students for the following English exams. Please message first!

As an open-minded person, I really value conversations with people who build their perspectives on solid, substantive foundations. The confidence in their voice shows they genuinely believe in the power of their ideas. Now you know why I enjoy my conversations with Marie.

Today, we continued working on detailed descriptions and reviewed my notes on the video we’ve been using for this exercise. For an engineer, it's crucial to both follow instructions and provide clear, precise commands at work. Thankfully, Marie has already helped me significantly in this area, and I feel much more confident on the job because of it. I truly appreciate the effort Marie puts into our lessons, and I hope this wonderful journey continues.

Today, we dissected our bushcraft video with surgical precision. The "surgery" was challenging, but we did well, and the "patient" is in good shape! These lessons give me plenty of real opportunities to improve my English in a very effective way. Thanks, Marie, for being such a great mentor and guiding me through this tricky territory.

The "go big or go home" mentality is definitely something Marie and I have in common. Ambition fuels development and goes hand in hand with growth. Marie is always full of positive energy, ready to move mountains, and completely focused on helping me become a better student.

Today, we tackled another paragraph from the book I’m translating into English. This exercise is incredibly powerful because it combines every aspect of learning a foreign language - vocabulary, grammar, reading (and thus pronunciation). Plus, going over each sentence encourages real, often dynamic conversation. What more could you ask for?
