I started teaching English as a substitute in high school during my last year of University in France and enjoyed it. I later used my knowledge of French when I move to the United States, teaching French in San Francisco for the Alliance Française. I then taught French in high school in Utah. When I moved back to California I got the TESOL certification from UCSB, which allowed me to teach English in Italy, Mongolia, and Chile. Now back in California I would be delighted to share my...

Accommodating and capable tutor
Marielle responded to my post seeking a language evaluator for a grant application to France. Based on a short consultation, she designed and administered a one-hour exam and submitted an evaluation directly to the grant committee on my behalf. I'm grateful for her capable assistance. Merci beaucoup, Marielle!

Great tutor with sense of humor
I have really enjoyed working with Marielle. She's been helping me improve my French before a trip to France this summer. She is extremely kind, patient, knowledgeable, and best of all, funny. I have appreciated her sense of humor and stories. She is also flexible and willing to work in the way that's most useful for me. I've learned so much from her, including great vocabulary, colloquial expressions I never learned in school, and cultural context for the language I'm learning. I highly recommend her.

knowledgeable and experienced tutor
My sessions with Marielle focused on improving my conversational skills. As a native French speaker she was able to improve my accent and correct my errors. She was able to adjust to my level and I felt working with her was very beneficial to my advancing with my French. We also had fun talking together!

french tutor Marielle
Marielle is very natural at tutoring and easily accommodates my wishes for the lessons. At my level, I am fairly conversational in French and want to become more fluent. Before our meetings, I read articles in French and study some grammar. We meet in person as I wanted to do that. We discuss what I've gone over after we've conversed in French for a while, talking on many different subjects. She is very knowledgeable about the French language and culture and also has a nice sense of humor. Additionally, she is very good at explaining grammar points and other issues related to the language. I am delighted to have found her.

Very attentive interaction through a lesson!
Keep being on the track of a subject and throwing relative questions to let thinking of what to response for answers give me the motivation and the development of speaking in French!

Authentic French Tutor
I am taking French courses in college online. Having Marielle has been a blessing. Since she is a native of France, I get an authentic French perspective. She’s a great addition to my studies.
