Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Marie's First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

Marie understands very well what I am looking for in the lessons in terms of speaking French regularly - with confidence and with as few errors as possible. She has the ability and knowledge to explain things clearly in a technical way. She has a wide range of interests and responds actively to what I choose to talk about. I enjoy the lessons and, although I don't have much spare time to do structutred homework, I find myself almost thinking in French as I prepare what I am going to talk about in the next lesson.

Amazing teacher, flexible in offering online and face to face tuition. Sessions are a highlight of the week.

Marie is an excellent tutor - she very quickly figures out the level of tuition and teaching style that is most appropriate for me to achieve learning goals. The lessons are well prepared & structured with a good range of grammar and spoken exercises. I highly recommend her if you are looking to significantly improve your Spanish language skills, whatever level you are currently at.

Marie has been helping my son with both Spanish and French, preparing the ground work for the start of GCSEs next academic year. In both subjects she has been excellent - making the lessons interesting and also ensuring a particular emphasis on spoken / conversational. Excellent.

Marie has created a good rapport with my son, and he has been motivated to work hard and complete assignments between lessons. Feeling that he is making progress has given him greater confidence.

Marie has been teaching me, my husband and our two children French, from beginners level. We're loving our lessons, it's a fun and inclusive way to learn French. Marie is just lovely - kind, calm and a superb teacher. It's a real pleasure to have lessons with her. The Jenkins family.

Marie, I enjoyed our first lesson and I am very much looking forward to continuing my lessons with you. You provided a structured approach to assessing my prior learning, whilst helping me fill in the 'gaps' and I feel confident that this is how I should like my learning to be managed. Many thanks.

Marie has a lovely and calm personality to have around children, both patient and encouraging whilst keeping all engaged and progressing in the language. She is highly IT literate which also goes down very well with the children!

Marie is a great tutor and is always very patient with me during my learning. She provides useful feedback for me to improve on my French speaking. I appreciate the way she explains and answers all my questions, it really helps me in improving on my language skill. I enjoy very much the lessons with Marie as she makes learning experience fun and seamless. I would really recommend Marie for someone who is looking to learn new languages with no prior experience.

I never went forward with the lessons, because the Zoom-platform didn’t work for me. That being said, I really liked Marie so much and would to love work with her. If I lived near, I would absolutely work one one with Marie. She has a lovely manner and is very patient. If you decide to use Marie you won’t be disappointed.
