Information about Marion

I am first trained as a French teacher. I have extended my practice into helping my younger students with Maths and Science, purely because I saw how stressed those subjects made them and because I was very good in those subjects up until A levels. In some cases, I felt more useful helping them with those core subjects than with French. I love the art of teaching and Maths and Science teaching was the ultimate test for me: Can I be a top teacher in those subjects?


My lessons are each tailored to the individual student`s needs. I am a very patient person. I do not feel bored or frustrated by slow progress. Therefore I do not "fake" my student`s progress and maintain the realistic pace he/she needs. The most common problem with current teaching when it doesn`t work is that it goes "too fast" and the student just cannot remember or absorb what happened and is left with nothing. I can deal with repetitive techniques if needed and I genuinely empathize with what the student is faced with.

I love teaching beginners or people who are struggling to understand their subjects. It really stimulates me to adapt to someone`s difficulties. I have always achieved high academic results in my school years but only after "finding my own little tricks" which I now share and re-invent for each of my students.
Whether it`s using recordings to learn French, making flashcards, or the right youtube videos for Maths - I am passionate at finding strategies that suit the students best.

Availability: I am available on weekdays and occasionally on Saturdays. I don`t necessarily need to have a specific slot for my students and they don`t all need a lesson every week.

Willing to travel: 12 miles

Experience: I am creative and confident when facing a new challenge. The confidence stems from my training as a performer and director, which has also aided in the development of my communication skills, whether that be in English or in French.
Through my experience as a language coach and Maths and Science tutor, I have developed an aptitude for patience within interpersonal relationships and an expertise in finding students’ individual style of learning.

Tutor: Since I graduated, I started to teach French one to one and gradually, I have helped students with their exams and their school years in all the subjects I can remember from school and mastered at French Baccalaureat: Maths ( 17/20), science ( 17/20), history (17/20), ect.

Excellent so far, however, we have just started. The site would do better to wait for feedback and should learn to be less pushy. Once again, Marion seems to be great.

Tutors Response :

Hi John and Jurate,
I totally agree with you. I think they need to stop reminding students at such an early stage. I will pass it on to them. But thank you for your feedback!
