Testimonials
 
      "Learning French from Mme. France is the ideal way, because of the personalized instruction, the variety of interesting learning materials, and the fact that she speaks French as her first language.  Because of her informality and sense of humor, every class is a delight,"
Joel R. Bergquist, Art Dealer

     "As a professional couple we have found Marie France to be the perfect French tutor! She works around our full schedule, meeting with us at our home in the evenings. She also tailors her instruction to our level and learning style. We are very excited to be learning French, despite mounting time constraints and many years out of school. And it's fun! Marie has a terrific sense of humor, and we laugh a lot during our lessons. An extra benefit of learning with Marie is that all her students are wonderful, and we enjoy getting together as a group to practice our French.  Marie est un professeur extraordinaire!," 

Darlene Markovich, Director HR
Ron Haak, Sr VP Technology Development,
ALZA Corporation

     " I have been Marie's student for five years. She has gone to great lengths to keep me engaged by tailoring lessons to suit my more advanced level and by  constantly varying learning texts and materials. I have learned so much more than I would have in a group setting, and my verbal skills are improving with every lesson,"

Stephanie, Foundation Executive Assistant

     "With Marie France, learning French is a unique pleasure. As a native speaker, she not only helps you to convey the elegant beauty of the language but to understand the language in the context of French culture, thus deepening your knowledge and enriching the experience. As an advanced student, I'm finally learning the precise pronunciation for numerous words, discovering Francophone authors, and learning a wealth of important vocabulary that has helped me enormously in communicating with those fast-speaking Parisians. Marie France is a delightful conversationalist, making lessons always interesting and her French student soirees are both educational and fun,"

Maxine Rose Schur,
Marketing Communications Consultant and Travel Journalist

    "Marie France is not only a great French teacher she is also very charming and we like her very much. We  enjoyed every single lesson.  She helped us prepare to live in France by not only teaching us the French language but also teaching us about French culture. We are very grateful to her. Visit our website to see just how much fun we are having...,"


     "I started taking French lessons with Mme France three years ago because I was working in a French company and I did not speak or read any French. One year later I was later able to read reports written by my French colleagues and that was a big help for doing my job, especially when I reported to a boss based in Paris. I continue my lessons with her till now after I left that French company because I enjoy it,"

Shian-Jiun Shih, Ph.D. Scientist
 

     "We have been taking French lessons with Marie France for over two years.  Our French has progressed nicely with a varied focus on the details of grammar as well as practical conversation. This has all happened in the enjoyable, relaxed and most of all, convenient location of our home. We are thoroughly enjoying this endeavor,"

Don and Debra St. Claire, Medical Professionals.

    "Marie France provides excellent training in reading and conversation. She selects readings from many sources, ranging from popular to classical French literature, as suits the student's interest. Discussions of these readings as well as current events, politics, and much more drive training in practical French conversation. Mme France speaks French clearly and precisely, providing a good example to imitate and making it easy for students to understand how to speak French properly. Mme France listens carefully to her students' speech and gently offers immediate corrections when necessary. In But a few weeks, Mme France helped me transform my decades-dormant college/high school French into a practical conversational tool,"

Neil Wilhem, Director of Research
