Reviews from others

“Marianne is an excellent Teacher. She really explains everything very well. I always enjoy the lessons & can’t wait for the next one! I appreciate all your efforts & assistance Marianne. I could not have asked for a better tutor. Class is always fun & full of laughs (even though we take the lessons seriously, but not ourselves). Thank you for everything! ”

“Love that she was easily able to adapt to my son and direct and engage him in his lessons. ”

Jean

“Marianne is extremely patient with Paul and very good at relating to him, which makes him more open to extra lessons. I also appreciate how she is able to come up with fun new ways for him to learn, beyond the day-to-day needs we have with his school work.”

Elzaan

“Marianne is incredibly knowledgeable. She explains grammatical rules really well, which allows me to understand the work a lot better. She goes above and beyond to make sure you understand the work and why grammatical rules are the way they are. ”
