• “I have been learning French with Marine for some years, from a beginner to advanced level. I have been impressed by the commitment Marine shows to each student’s progress, with the pace of the class suitable for all. There is an ever-changing mix of formal grammar, short texts, videos and sometimes even games to keep each class interesting. The online format with a small group works well and means I can log in to my class from anywhere. A definite highlight of my week - sometimes its easy to feel you’re virtually in France!”

    — Antony

  • “Being a true Francophile, I have been learning French as part of a group with Marine for many years. Marine is an excellent teacher who is extremely encouraging and supportive. Her classes are always lots of fun as she plans very interesting experiences for us. Marine differentiates her lessons so that those who are more able are extended and those with less experience are also supported. In addition to the language I have learnt so much about the French culture and way of life. My french study is very important to me and I look forward very much to the class each week.”

    -Margaret

    — Anne

  • “During Covid lockdown , I was sceptical of continuing the course online, but the Zoom classes have proven to be hugely successful. The original group of students has continued with the classes which is also a testament to Marine’s ability to work efficiently with all of us.”

  • “I've been learning French with Marine for 3 years, as have many others in our class who started together as beginners. It's testament to the quality of her teaching, and her dedication to supporting each and every student that so many of her pupils have been learning with her for years. All our classes are lots of fun and Marine fosters a supportive and stress-free learning environment. If you're thinking about learning French, you simply must learn with Marine.”

    -Catherine

  • “I joined Marine’s Saturday morning French class in 2015 and many of the cohort who started then or shortly after are still enthusiastically turning up. This is testament itself to the quality of her lessons! Not only have I progressed from beginner to an advanced level through Marine’s engaging and comfortable teaching style, I have also forged friendships along the way.

    I thoroughly recommend Virtually French. Marine est une professeur formidable!”

    -Rosemary

  • “Marine is a great French teacher who conducts classes that are interactive, supportive and fun. She provides appropriately paced learning that incorporates contemporary issues and French culture that keep students engaged in a friendly environment.”

    Diana S

  • “I have been learning French with Marine since the middle of the Covid pandemic. At that time the Zoom classes were a godsend and I am so grateful that they have continued as I live in Queensland and I would not be able to have this wonderful experience otherwise. Marine is a fantastic teacher providing interesting, varied, relevant and fun classes which almost make you forget you are actually learning a new language! That certainly happens though as, on reflection, I feel my level of the language and my confidence have improved exponentially since I joined the class. “

    Susanna

  • “Marine has been our class teacher for over 5 years. When our classroom-based lessons closed due to covid we elected to continue with Marine using Zoom. She is an excellent teacher for all levels of French, and offers stimulating 2-hour classes covering grammar and interesting articles and videos on contemporary France. I highly recommend Marine as a French-language teacher”

    Jane

  • I joined Marine's French Class at an entry level I did so because I saw that she was a native speaker. I have been taking French with Marine for almost a year. In every lesson I have found her to be an excellent teacher. Her lessons are thorough, well prepared and well resourced, but it is Marine's capacity to instill confidence and enthusiasm that has enabled me to make progress and enjoy learning this beautiful language. Marine est une enseignante brilliante, je vous la recommande sans hésitation.
