About Me

Learning a language is a great gateway to delve into the world's cultural richness, be it your own or a culture you encounter. Having spent my childhood moving from city to city and living in several countries, crossing oceans and borders for my study, this has become one of my fundamental questions: How can people from various backgrounds meet each other and live together harmoniously? As a language teacher, I encourage my students to open themselves up to embrace diverse cultural richness through active and student-led learning with the unique teaching methods I established.

Reviews (1)

We were warmly welcomed at Marie's home for a group Japanese lesson, organized for my daughter's birthday. She adapted the lesson to my daughter's interest (manga) and birthday. The lesson was clear in structure and a very nice way to get acquainted with the Japanese language and customs. Two of the three girls would like to continue Japanese language lessons with Marie online after this lesson.

This is individual Japanese/Japanese language instruction for primary and secondary school students whose native language is Japanese or who are growing up in a bilingual environment. By reading aloud a variety of texts and writing compositions, students will gradually improve their Japanese skills. ・Learning programs adapted to each level, objective and environment ・Those who want to improve their Japanese skills in a bilingual environment ・Those who wish to take entrance exams or pursue higher education after returning to Japan Living outside of Japan, knowing the world of languages other than Japanese, and knowing the language of Japan, which is far from Europe, all have the potential to broaden one's horizons and the world. It is an irreplaceable experience. I would like to use my experience living in Europe as a child and my university studies as a returnee in Japan, and help them learn Japanese together so that they can develop Japanese as an important language for them.
