Highly experienced Native French Teacher, specialised in GCSE, IGCSE, A Level preparations, DELF and DALF, from Year 4/5 and Adult classes.

Through Marie's impassioned, heart-led, pragmatic and ever joyful approach, I was able to fully understand what the true meaning of great teaching was; to deliver incredible academic results through an indefatigable love of teaching, with the students interest always at the forefront. Marie's love of teaching and the French language is nothing short of infectious. She brings out the best in her students, celebrating our strengths and, through her great patience, smoothing out our linguistic weaknesses. Central to Marie's success as a teacher is how she engages with her pupils. Through her wonderfully sunny and positivity-led presence coupled with passionate teaching, she rather effortlessly inspires us to do our genuine best. I've personally always struggled with academic pressure, often feeling easily overwhelmed and even resentful of my obligations. This was never the case with Marie, as every week her lessons brought me much needed light and excitement, all the while helping me make truly consistent and impressive linguistic progress. I don't doubt for a second that my results (A* at A-level and A at GCSE) would have been remotely possible without her incredible academic support. To conclude, through having had the immense pleasure of studying with Marie, I've been able to truly gauge just how incredible a teacher can be. - Gabriel O'Leary-Wachs (student)

Marie is an amazing teacher. She has helped me so much with my French and I have improved a lot. Her approach to teaching is excellent and we focus on a variety of different skills each lesson. She is very passionate and very patient as well. Highly recommended!

Marie is a really fabulous teacher. She is inspiring, reliable l, very thorough and conscientious. Her lessons are interesting and enjoyable. I would recommend her to anyone interested in learning french at any level.

Marie is excellent. She is a very professional, extremely knowledgeable, very nice and will put everyone at ease, boost your confidence and prepare you for exams. In our case GCSE and AS Level - with top results A* (AS level) and 9 (GCSE). I would highly recommend her!

Marie is an exceptionally talented teacher and knows how to engage children and keep them motivated during lessons. She is supportive and makes her pupils feel comfortable. Marie sets them realistic targets and goals. She understands her subject deeply and is passionate about it. She is a team player and her colleagues are always complimentary about her attitude and willingness to go the extra mile, if that is what is needed.

Marie is a wonderful teacher. Her lessons are very engaging and she knows how to inspire as well as how to prepare for exams. being a native speaker of French, she is able to not just improve one's proficiency but as well one's accent. Marie taught French GCSE to our son and he achieved fantastic results. As he had sat his French GCSE in Yr.10 and had enjoyed the lessons so much, he decided that he wanted to continue lessons with Marie to do AS French (1st yr of A-Level) alongside his other GCSEs. Several of our friends have asked Marie to tutor their children and all have been full of praise. We can not recommend Marie highly enough.

Marie is a very reliable, organised, trustworthy, friendly and professional teacher. She has a fun and productive way to engage with students and her lessons are a real joy. I have known Marie for a couple of years and she very successfully taught French GCSE and AS Level to my children (15 and 17). They excelled their own expectations and especially my daughter gained more confidence. In fact my son did not only do his French GCSE he also did his French AS level and French communication. This is all down to Marie. We have lived in different countries (including France) and experienced different teachers. Without a doubt Marie is the best French teacher we had. The children even enjoyed grammar lessons and certainly benefited from Marie's excellent teaching style and flawless knowledge. I can highly recommend her and every student should be happy to have her.

My daughter and I are learning French with Marie and she is an amazing teacher. We are studying for GCSE which my daughter will take in June. (I am just keen to improve). She comes to our house once a week or we do a 1hr Skype session. She is very inspiring, knowledgeable, thorough and very interesting about French culture and language whenever it is relevant. My daughter is 15 and really enjoys the lessons. Marie has a lightness that makes learning easy and fun. I can highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning French.

Marie was my colleague in the upper school at Rudolf Steiner School Kings Langley until December 2018 (when the school closed). I found Marie to be a positive, reliable, conscientious colleague, popular with staff and pupils. She was able to differentiate work to suit the needs of the pupils in her care, and produced excellent outcomes. She recognises the need to plan work carefully and assess progress. She has had experience of teaching a broad age range, including exam level French.

I would recommend Marie as a candidate for a position in your organisation. While working with Marie, as a colleague, she was always organised, diligent and communicated well with her peers, her pupils and their parents and carers. Marie's lessons were always well prepared and thought through, taking into account all the needs of the pupils in her classes. The children she taught remained engaged and focused while she taught them. They also made superb progress. She had excellent rapport with her pupils and colleagues. She was a very valued member of staff and was an asset to the school.

Thanks to Marie, I could increase my level in english. This is very useful when I travel abroad.

Marie is an exceptional teacher. She is fond of transmitting using educational methods and passion. Her lessons are always different, it is a real delight to learn with her

Marie P. helped my son Pierre to prepare his A'Levels in english. He passed his test with a grade A. He improved a lot his conversation skills which allowed him to fill very comfortable when he went to London for a school exchange.

I was scared to start learning a language later in life but Marie's patience was superb and I learnt far more than just the basics... and still am. A great teacher. Flexible, kind, supportive throughout and above all professional. Highly recommended

Marie was such a lovely caring and professional and polite teacher. She is very patience and knowledgeable.
I felt really comfortable asking questions and practicing with her, she is very approachable and made me feel extremely at ease.
Her technique and method of teaching are effective and I have enjoyed every minute of it!
