BONJOUR!
I’m Marion.
I’m a native French teacher from Strasbourg, France.
I help French learners speak with more confidence and use the French people actually speak in real life.
WHO I AM
More than a French teacher
I’m a native French speaker from Strasbourg, France, and I’ve always loved languages, culture, and connecting with people.
I learned English through music, stories, and curiosity – not just by memorizing rules.
That taught me something important early on: language is about real life, connection, and confidence.
MY JOURNEY
From Strasbourg to California
My own language journey took me from France to California, where I fell in love with teaching and helping people use language in real life.
I studied English and Dutch at the University of Strasbourg and later earned a master’s degree in bilingual journalism from the University of Paris 8.
I also had the chance to teach and share French culture during a lecturer exchange at the University of California, Santa Barbara – one of the most meaningful years of my life.
WHAT CAME NEXT
Building a life around teaching French
After my time in California, I chose to stay and keep teaching French in schools and through private lessons.
Over the years, I’ve worked with learners of different ages and levels, always with the same goal: helping French feel useful, natural, and easier to speak.

“I am so grateful that I have been able to have Marion as my French tutor… my speaking abilities have surpassed what I thought to be possible.”

MY APPROACH
Real Conversation Over Perfection
Learning French should help you speak, connect with people, and enjoy real life in French — not just memorize more rules.
French you can use
Learn words and phrases that help you handle real conversations.
Confidence first
Make mistakes, get support, and keep speaking without being afraid of getting everything perfect.
Real connection
Use French to make friends, enjoy the culture, travel, and feel part of the conversation.
French isn’t meant to stay in a textbook. It’s meant to be spoken.
I started my French classes with her about 6 weeks ago… I already feel confident handling a conversation in French.
— Negar A. (Yelp)WHAT I BELIEVE
Confidence Comes Before Perfection
I believe you learn to speak French by actually speaking it — not by waiting until you feel ready.
French should help you connect with people, enjoy the culture, and feel more at home in real conversations.
I highly recommend Marion for French lessons. She is a French native speaker and a dedicated and encouraging teacher.
