I am a native French speaker, born, raised and educated in France. I have been tutoring middle school, high school- SAT II, AP and IB French-, college students, adult learners from beginners to more advanced as well as French immersion students for the past 15 years. Whatever the objective may be - conversation, help with homework or test preparation - the private one-on-one setting offers a stress free working environment to help students gain confidence. I have been working with Wyzant since 2012. I am dedicated, flexible and thorough. My approach is focused on the unique needs and objectives of the student. I propose a tailored, personal plan - which can be adapted - to fit the skill level and pace of learning of each student thus ensuring that the lesson will be enjoyable and fruitful. I will always respond to emergency situations as I find great pleasure in seeing my students succeed. I enjoy very much having the opportunity to help and motivate others to further improve their knowledge of my native language and culture.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in English from UCO in Angers, France and a diploma in written and oral translation from the British Institute In Paris, University of London.

Extraordinary tutor

My daughter was Marie’s student during her last two years of high school. She wrote this review: “I am so grateful to have found Marie. Over the 2 years I worked with her, my French dramatically improved. I started as a high school junior with a good background in French but very rudimentary skills in speaking and listening; by the end of the school year, Marie had helped me earn a 5 on the AP French exam. Her knowledgeability about the format of the test and its expectations was invaluable, and she was very carefully organized in ensuring we covered every facet of the exam in time. She later helped me to pass the DELF B2 French exam. I found Marie to be tough but very encouraging; she pushed me to work hard on grammar and speaking. She was also readily available to help me with my French writing, offering thorough insight as a native speaker. I’m very thankful to have had such a skilled and engaging tutor, and I would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone.”

She tailors her lessons to my needs and can quickly identify areas of improvement. I am grateful for Marie's help and would recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their French!

AP French Exam preparation

Marie is a native speaker who understands the AP French exam very well and how to best score points. We worked for a month prior to the AP exam which I will take next week. She reviewed my ability and helped me focus on which parts of my test preparation needed work. I feel very confident and prepared to take the exam. I highly recommend Marie!!!!

Wonderful Tutor!

I wish we found Marie sooner! She was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. She is well versed in the IB standards and that gave me much peace of mind. My daughter feels as though she is prepared for her IB exams!

Extremely helpful

Marie has been a great help with my son. She has been wonderful at helping him both with assignments and helping with knowledge gaps. He is taking French for his International Baccalaureate diploma program.

Marie is very knowledgeable on what she is teaching. And she makes sure that the student understands the topic well. My daughter is very pleased and glad she found her, which will help her during her IB French class in hight school.

Thorough and Amazing Tutor!

Marie tutored me a few months before my AP French Exam because my teacher at school had never taught AP French before, and Marie honestly saved me! She provides excellent resources and is very detailed! I was able to attain a 4 on the AP exam when I thought just a few months ago it was impossible! She is extremely patient and understanding, and she knows what exactly must be done to succeed!! She is amazing!

Patient, kind, understanding

I'm new to tutoring and Marie made it very easy to jump right in and start learning with plenty of great resource material to study. She is very easy to talk to and clearly knows what she's teaching, I will definitely continue studying with her.

A great French Tutor

Marie instantly connected with my daughter and helped her feel confident with her French. She is focused on preparing for the AP French exam and Marie has already provided my daughter with resources and work to do outside of lessons. WIth her guidance, my daughter feels she will be more than prepared for the AP French exam.
