Hi!
I’m Marie from France. I’m a French native speaker born in France but I lived in bilingual Canada for 15 years and became a Canadian citizen in 2008. So, I speak perfect standard French and I am a native-like English speaker.
I started my career in business but moved to teaching in 2000. I have been teaching French and English for 22 years now and have a great experience in teaching people from various ages, cultural backgrounds and learning styles. I’ve helped hundred of students to achieve official language exams with a success rate over 90%. Today, I’m teaching on Italki and have wonderful experience with my students.

Me as a Teacher
I am enthusiatic, approachable and strongly committed to facilitate your learning experience. I deeply care about creating a friendly and safe classroom atmosphere in order to raise your self-esteem and confidence and make you feel comfortable to participate. It doesn’t take me long to determine your learning style and adjust my teaching methods to your needs. I’m also very responsive to your learning pace.
My teaching style is pretty much task-based. I think you can make the most of our time together and learn more deeply if the activities we are doing make sense. My ultimate goals are to make you fully engaged in your learning and effectively progress while enjoying our language classes.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching methodology is quite ecclectic. I believe your exposure to authentic materials is the best way to develop your communication skills. However, I may use more guided methods if necessary. I always tailor my learning plans to your needs. I use a wide range of authentic resources and multimedia in order to make our class both fun and challenging. I've specialized in English and French phonetics since my Master thesis was based on a comparative analysis between both languages. This year, I am finalizing a Master Degree in Didactics of Languages – French as a Foreign Language - which keeps me at the cutting edge of the latest research in language teaching and learning.

Marie est une excellente professeur, elle est gentille, elle parle lentement, dans une façon adaptée à mon niveau. Elle m’a donné beaucoup de conseils utiles et des ressources pour l’expression orale.

Very productive lesson! Marie had send me documents after the last lesson for homework and provided a clear path for what we would work on in this lesson. I loved the class! The time flew by so fast, but I really liked working through the exercises!

Excellent first lesson with Marie. I was able to explain what I am hoping to achieve and what is important to me. Marie listened and then asked me follow up questions and we discussed a plan. She understood where my problem areas are and talked about how she will approach them and she has a plan to advance my abilities and fluency. I look forward to the next lesson!
