Marina

If you’re afraid of making mistakes, want to learn French with a real French accent, and need lessons that fit your own goals, then taking classes with Marina is definitely the way to go. I have taken lessons with her to get better at speaking fluently and improving my accent. It was really important for me that she corrected my grammar mistakes and helped me use expressions that French people actually say—no awkward or unnatural sentences. Plus, she writes down all the corrections in a document for me after each lesson, so I can go back and review everything whenever I want.

I truly appreciate Marina's flexible and thoughtful approach. We did a mock exam where she gently and concisely corrected my mistakes, suggested better phrasing, and asked a few unexpected questions to challenge me a little. This is a great approach to help me progress in building my oral skills.

Marina est une excellente tutrice avec une attitude très chaleureuse et positive. Je prépare actuellement mon examen TEF avec elle, et grâce à son accompagnement et son soutien, je me sens beaucoup plus confiante et moins stressée à l'oral. Je la recommande vivement!

I always appreciate Marina's ability to make our lessons enjoyable and challenging at the same time. She is helping me progress slowly but surely toward better oral expression, and is always ready to show me alternate ways of expressing concepts to sound more authentically French.

Marina, thank you for your patience with my tired brain today! I appreciated your willingness to repeatedly repeat and reformulate your questions and statements to help me better understand your meaning. You presented a number of concrete plans and ideas that showed you really understand how to help me improve and I'm very much looking forward to continuing to work together.

J'ai vraiment apprécié ce premier cours de conversation avec Marina. Nous avons parlé de beaucoup de sujets variés et intéressants, je me suis sentie très à l'aise pendant toute l'heure. De plus, elle a l'air très douce et dégage de l'énergie positive. Bref! Non seulement le cours m'a beaoucoup plu mais aussi j'ai repris l'envie d'étudier français :).
