Personal Description:
French native professional tutor with a French University degree in Spanish, a European postgraduate degree in teaching foreign languages and the PGCE. Qualified to be Examiner-Corrector for the CEFRL (level A1 to C2) for French. I lived for five years in Spain. I have been learning Hindi for 20 + years and travelled many times to India.
Teaching Experience:
I have been tutoring/teaching for more than 25 years, one to one, small groups, after school clubs and classes in teaching organisations, businesses and in schools.
Teaching Approach:
My approach to tutoring depends enormously on the student's age, wishes and needs. Except for the younger children, with whom I use a variety of methods, which appeal to the tactile and the visual, I encourage them to take part in a negotiated syllabus. For the adults I use mainly methods that are created by native linguists, which I complement by using reputable text books and authentic material.
For online tutoring, I use Zoom, Bitpaper, Google Docs, a French teaching platform and various online sites. My first lesson is half the rate to compensate for (nearly all) the platform fees

From Sarah (/5): Marie is very supportive and her tasks for my daughter are relative and varied to her learning.
From Martin (/5): Marie is great. May daughter has French lessons once a week. She says Marie is very kind and patient. Recommended!
From Océane (/5): Marie is a great tutor and is always very patient with me during my learning. She provides useful feedback for me to improve on my French speaking. I appreciate the way she explains and answers all my questions, it really helps me in improving on my language skill. I enjoy very much the lessons with Marie as she makes learning experience fun and seamless. I would really recommend Marie for someone who is looking to learn new languages with no prior experience.
From Lou Ella (/5): I never went forward with the lessons, because the Zoom-platform didn’t work for me. That being said, I really liked Marie so much and would to love work with her. If I lived near, I would absolutely work one one with Marie. She has a lovely manner and is very patient. If you decide to use Marie you won’t be disappointed.
From Claire (/5): Marie is a very patient and approachable person. It was my first lesson and I was a little nervous, but Marie put me at ease very quickly. She was clear in what she was asking me to do, and the tools and resources she uses seem to be good in going forward with my learning. I am really looking forward to my next lesson.
From Elizabeth (/5): Marie is a great tutor, she is very helpful, has lots of ideas and a flexible approach, and replies promptly to any questions. The online lessons include lots of different activities, games and songs. My young daughter has settled into her regular lessons quickly, Marie is giving her the confidence to speak more in French, and Marie is kind enough to let my daughter’s cuddly toys join in the French lessons too! Highly recommended.
From Akiko (/5): I have had 4 lessons with Marie and I am very happy with her as my French tutor. As my level is basic / lower intermediate she choses the exercises which suite my level. Marie is always patient and calm so I don't need to feel unnecessary pressure or embarassement at all. When she speaks in French Marie chooses vocablary and expressions that are not too complicated but help to enhance my listening skills. I would highly recommend Marie as your first French tutor.
From Ben (/5): Marie’s very easy to talk to, I’d highly recommend her.
From Emily (/5): Marie's session are great! My sister are are really enjoying them and have already learnt so much. We're looking forward to working with Marie some more.

From Yasmin (/5): Very friendly tutor would definitely recommend!
From Olga (/5): Marie has tutored my son for a year for GCSE which he wasn't able to study at school. All his lessons were with Marie. My son enjoyed his lessons and Marie and did a really excellent job preparing my him for the exam and he achieved a very high result and we will now be applying for a french scholarship for A Level at his school. I can't recommend Marie enough.
From Richard (/5): Marie understands very well what I am looking for in the lessons in terms of speaking French regularly - with confidence and with as few errors as possible. She has the ability and knowledge to explain things clearly in a technical way. She has a wide range of interests and responds actively to what I choose to talk about. I enjoy the lessons and, although I don't have much spare time to do structutred homework, I find myself almost thinking in French as I prepare what I am going to talk about in the next lesson.
From John (/5): Amazing teacher, flexible in offering online and face to face tuition. Sessions are a highlight of the week.
From Anna (/5): Marie is an excellent tutor - she very quickly figures out the level of tuition and teaching style that is most appropriate for me to achieve learning goals.
The lessons are well prepared & structured with a good range of grammar and spoken exercises.
I highly recommend her if you are looking to significantly improve your Spanish language skills, whatever level you are currently at.

From Marilyn (/5): Marie,
I enjoyed our first lesson and I am very much looking forward to continuing my lessons with you. You provided a structured approach to assessing my prior learning, whilst helping me fill in the 'gaps' and I feel confident that this is how I should like my learning to be managed. Many thanks.
