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 is a fantastic teacher. She is very well organized and has a wealth of information to share with students. I always feel that I am learning from a knowledgeable and experienced teacher. I highly recommend taking classes with Marie, you won't regret it!

My first French lesson with Marie was a very positive experience. From the start, Marie demonstrated a calm, patient, and encouraging demeanor that put me at ease.
She took the time to understand my personal goals for learning French, which allowed her to tailor the lesson content to my specific needs. Marie's teaching style proved to be highly effective, as she explained complex grammar and vocabulary in a clear, relatable way.
Even when I struggled with certain concepts, Marie provided thoughtful feedback and reassurance, boosting my confidence. Her positive attitude made the learning experience enjoyable rather than stressful.
After just one lesson, I'm confident I made the right choice in selecting Marie as my French tutor. I look forward to continuing my lessons with her and seeing my language skills improve under her guidance.

J'ai déjà eu 4 cours avec Marie et je les adore. Je peux constater des améliorations progressives dans mon français. Marie est gentille, sympathique et organisée. J'apprécie d'envoyer le matériel à l'avance pour me préparer au cours. Elle donne également des commentaires en temps opportun. Chaque leçon avec elle est toujours productive. Merci beaucoup. J'ai hâte d'en savoir plus !

L’insegnate é molto gentile e attenta. Ha fatto un test dettagliato del mio livello di francese ed ha chiesto quali fossero i miei obiettivi.

I always enjoy working with Marie. This lesson we started with an article about about Christmas films, a topic we thought might be a possible antidote to the negativity we find so much these days in the news. From there, the conversation went in different directions. Very nice lesson.
