I have been studying French with Marie Demene for about two years. She is an excellent teacher, both imaginative and patient, and I feel that with her help I have made significant progress.

Sincerely,

Marie Demene has been teaching my daughter French for 5 months now. Lucy is just 6 years old and already loves and looks forward to her weekly session in French. Marie does a great job of engaging youngsters and peaking their interest in a foreign language.

I would recommend her highly.

Thank you,

I highly recommend Marie Demene as a private French tutor. She patiently worked with me for approximately three months to improve my level of fluency as needed for my photographic assignment in the Republic of Congo.

My co-workers were amazed at how quickly my conversational skills progressed. This success is the result of the targeted lessons prepared by Marie, as well as her support throughout the lessons. I will certainly resume tutoring with Marie when my work schedule allows.

Should you be interested in learning French for work, rest assured Marie is an outstanding tutor.

I have personally experienced the benefits of learning French with Marie. As a beginner with no previous exposure to French, Marie developed a personal lesson plan that was simple and efficient for me to follow. I learned the basic expressions to navigate in social and work situations during my one-year stay in Lyon, France. My recommendation to those prospective individuals interested in learning French in a short-time frame is to hire Marie Demene.

Marie Demene is a fully professional French language teacher with plenty of experience and understanding of language teaching. For the past two years of her lessons, I earned much more confidence with my oral French as well as deeper grammatical understanding.

Her teaching method leads me to think in French and eliminate dependence on English, and suits to people of any nationality. It is truly authentic French experience through her customized language lesson. Her professional yet friendly personality takes your French to the next level up. I sincerely recommend her to those who seek for French language lessons between busy schedules.

I have worked one on one with Marie for more than two years and have learned more in that time than I did in many years of classroom French. It’s great to have a native speaker who is able to address all of my questions, slow down when I need to, and move more quickly as I progress. That has never been possible in the classes I have been in where students are on different levels and there is just not enough time for everyone to get equal attention.

Marie is one of those people who I felt instantly comfortable with and I knew that I was going to succeed from the first meeting. Now I can put “fluent in French” on my resume and I’m being honest. When I am in France or with native speakers I no longer am frightened to speak or embarrassed about my accent or making glaring mistakes. If you are thinking about one on one French with a tutor, Marie is a great choice.
