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.
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
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.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
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.

Cambridge Advanced English - Université Edith Cowan - 2000This certificate allowed me to enter Ulster University in order to prepare for my Postgraduate/Master in TESOL.
She's always fun to work with, is attentive and notices when I'm having difficulty understanding something, and is responsive when I ask questions about the nuances of different ways to express a thought. She's not a rigid grammarian taskmaster but will suggest material when I'm having difficulty learning a particular element of grammar, and she listens and chuckles when I complain about seems to me to be the fussiness of French grammar

Marie is excellent! She has really helped me to build my confidence to the point where we can share humour (which is a big motivator for learning and help to memory). I highly recommend Marie as a teacher!
