About Me
italki teacher since Dec 26, 2016
Teaching English to students across the globe has been an enriching experience. My background in diverse areas like math, chemistry, biology, music, business, and education has equipped me to help students with their English in ways that are relevant to them. I learned French as an adult which means I know each of the steps that students need to take to master their second language. My training in phonics and music helps me hear each sound which is key to helping students improve their accents.
Me as a Teacher
I believe students need to learn English 'their way.' This means that every student learns differently and has different strengths. I help them find the gaps and give them the tools to become fluent and accurate in their English speaking. If the student needs conversation skills for business presentations, I provide the structure and practice to help them target their goals based on their immediate needs. Younger students need to reinforce the grammar they are learning in school with listening, oral reading, and writing assignments. I am by nature a structured teacher, but I like to make English real and usable for each student.
My lessons & teaching style
Flexibility with a plan, best describes my lessons. I write grammar curriculums, edit websites, edit business presentations, give interview practice, edit resumes, and translate documents. I am comfortable teaching adults as well as young children. I teach basic phonics and pronunciation of English using practical everyday situations to encourage students to use the English they know. I use a placement exam, homework assignments, youtube videos, audio files, class notes, and many other tools to encourage students to practice their English.

Unyielding passion is the decisive element that makes Marie standout from others. I practice English hard everyday,; but her genuine will, diligence, and dedication to my progress, is self-evident throughout the sessions and post-session works, making me feel I need to catch up to her enthusiasm by working harder. Her soft and gentle approach is more motivating to me than envisioning myself being in an English bootcamp. For example, she will send you videos and text to practice after each lesson and is more than willing to listen your progress during the week or sometimes, offer me extra time. The long-winded gruesome, inferno English journey becomes a fun adventure with her as your teacher, who is not afraid to do silly things to elucidate a concept, your best companion in this journey. I know my writing may bumping up her hourly price, but it is worth it. I couldn't pay her enough to deserve her service. My advice to her often is this, "Don't work too hard for me, Marie!"

Marie is really cool and enthusiastic. She's provides great feedback and my intonation and pronunciation. She's able to see what most teachers aren't able to see. I totally recommend her. You'll definitely improve your English in a heartbeat.
