About Me
italki teacher since Nov 6, 2018Interest topicReadingTravelEnvironment & NatureFilms & TV SeriesMusic
Bonjour! Would you like to learn to speak real-life French confidently while having fun? :)
I’m a native qualified French teacher from Paris with over 10 years’ experience. Passionate about helping people reach their goals, I love supporting motivated students on their French learning journey! I teach in an engaging, dynamic way and love providing insights into the French way of life.
As an open-minded, curious person I’m happy to talk about pretty much everything: everyday life, society, music, film, food, family & friends, cultural differences... We’ll never run out of topics to explore!
I love discovering other cultures and languages and have lived in the UK, Greece and Thailand.Me as a Teacher
An accomplished linguist, I have an MA in English Studies and many years’ experience working as a French teacher and translator; I have three teaching qualifications (Teaching French as a Foreign Language Today (Alliance Française - CAVILAM), PTLLS and TESOL) and am bilingual in French/English, having lived 12 years in the UK.
Enthusiastic and patient, I provide my students with a very positive and supportive learning environment.
I have also received training in coaching and use my coaching skills to keep students motivated and help them grow in confidence.
I strive to make my lessons as varied, engaging and efficient as possible and I’m always updating my methods and teaching materials.My lessons & teaching style
Before starting, I will ask you about your goals and interests to tailor my lessons to your needs.
I use conversation as one of my main tools, so you’ll get plenty of talking time. We’ll also be using a wide range of resources (articles, videos, music, recordings…) to help you practice various skills. We will share a Google Doc, and I can give you homework.
I could also give you tips before a trip/move to France and provide you with insider knowledge on food, the exciting current French music scene, how to navigate social life in France, or the best French podcasts and YouTube channels.
I can’t wait to see you progress and become more and more fluent in French! :)My teaching material

Marie is the best teacher. The time flies by so quickly. Not only is she an amazing French teacher, but an extremely fun, funny, kind, and interesting person. She puts so much thought into her lessons and her students.

This was my first session with Marie and I will definitely be booking more! She was very friendly and easy to talk to, the lesson was super well prepared and tailored exactly to my needs and interests which was great! From the start I felt comfortable and could already feel my confidence improving when I spoke, I'm really looking forward to learning more with Marie and looking forward to my next lesson. Merci Marie !

Wow! Marie was so prepared with a whole list of resources for me to use! She took time to explain new concepts to me, and she clearly put a lot of effort into this lesson. I am so impressed with her dedication, and I highly recommend her.
