Tutor Bio
I was born and raised in France. I arrived in the United States in 2000 with my family and became a US citizen in 2010. Every year, I make it a point to visit France at least once. This allows me to stay connected not only to my family and friends but also to the wonderful French culture, aspects of which I am then able to share with my students.
I am very passionate about French grammar and structure, not to mention literature and culture, and I have been able to pass on this enthusiasm to my students as well.
When I teach, I try to communicate clearly, patiently, and with belief in my students. My goal is to always make learning both interesting and fun. I encourage my students in a supportive environment so they can learn and express themselves without fear or intimidation.
Personally Vetted · Strømmen’s Note
A native French tutor drawn to literature and Meridional dialect work, Marie moves easily between grammar drills and full culture immersion.
