"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!,"

" 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,"

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
