Maryline has worked in our school over the past 7 years. The children are enthused by her approach and greatly enjoy the glove puppets, songs and activities which she uses in her teaching. The parents tell me that the children enjoy showing off their new found knowledge and are now speaking French at home. Obviously, it is an incredible benefit that Maryline has French as her native tongue. She immerses the children in the language, and she can then use her fluent English to promote their learning. She has a warm and nurturing approach, as well as being bubbly and energetic in her manner of teaching. She is a very valuable addition to our school and the children, from Reception to year 6, love attending her lessons.

Maryline is a kind and attentive person who I had the privilege of employing to carry out translation work for my growing business. I would wholeheartedly recommend her and her business.

The children really look forward to Maryline's weekly visit and love singing the French rhymes especially "Meunier Tu Dors". As a small setting out in the country, Maryline's French lessons have really opened up our awareness of different cultures and languages. I have seen a vast improvement in the children's confidence and even our most shy children join in! Maryline is always happy and smiling and we are very glad to have found her.

Maryline's French lessons are exciting and dynamic, in short they are simply brilliant! Each session is jammed packed with creative ideas used to inspire her students. She strategically uses a wide range of tools and skills to increase their learning, these can include ventriloquism, songs and French rhymes to engage each child. She carefully constructs and tailor makes each lesson as she introduces new words and phrases, creating fun and laughter as they learn together. Maryline is always cheerful, encouraging and uses positive reinforcements to support the children's improvement of the French language. As a parent and educator, I would highly recommend these lessons to any parent wanting to develop the linguist within their child, this is a perfect way of giving children a good start to begin growing in confidence when learning a foreign language.
