About Me
italki teacher since Oct 17, 2017InterestsTravelEnvironment & NatureFoodArtReading
I am a passionate and UK-qualified primary teacher (QTS) with eight years of teaching experience across international and UK-based settings. I hold a TEFOL certificate and currently balance my role as a UK primary school teacher with language tutoring on Italki.
My perspective on education was profoundly reshaped while teaching refugee children in Greece. This transformative experience taught me that language learning extends beyond academic milestones—it empowers individuals to navigate their world with confidence and purpose.
Alongside education, my diverse background includes film production, which enriches my creative approach to teaching. I have a deep appreciation for languages, painMe as a Teacher
As a teacher on Italki, I see teaching as an opportunity to share a meaningful gift. I am passionate about connecting with students from diverse backgrounds, learning about their countries and cultures, and helping them achieve their language goals. My teaching style is engaging, supportive, and adaptive, focusing on building confidence and fostering real-world language skills. I take pride in seeing my students grow, not just in their linguistic abilities but also in their confidence to use language as a tool for connection and personal success.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is rooted in meaningful conversation, where learning feels natural and engaging. I prioritize using my students’ personal interests as a foundation to tailor lessons that are both enjoyable and effective. By incorporating topics that resonate with them, I create a supportive environment that encourages confidence and fosters a deeper connection to the language. My goal is to make every learning journey uniquely rewarding and inspiring.My teaching material

Marie has a great personality. My teenage son loved the lesson very much. She helps a student feel confident and able to speak, which is very important in learning languages. Thank you very much, Marie!
