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.
I was super nervous about taking lessons as I have no experience speaking and my knowledge of the French language being very beginner, but Marie made me feel at ease almost instantly. Super happy with our first lesson and looking forward to more!

Marie is always fun to work with, and provides material to study that really helps learn points of French grammar along with new vocabulary
