Introduction
I provide quality in-person and Zoom tutoring in multiple subjects. Top personalized distance learning boutique focusing in Math, Biology, Chemistry, and French. I believe in providing students with the skills and strategies to succeed. I offer classes and private lessons for individuals, couples, and groups. I see many types of students from success-seeking middle and high school students, bilingual students, homeschool students, and adult learners. I will work with all ages and all levels. While I can tutor you with your current program or schoolwork, I can also provide custom curriculum to help you advance to the next step. A native speaker from Bordeaux and third generation teacher; I started teaching French in 2002 and math and by 2007 was teaching biology and chemistry. My math and science education was completed at UC Davis before I participated in education in San Francisco in 2008. I have worked in public and private schools, as a teacher, para-educator, and curriculum editor while helping students ace exams, become fluent in French, or go up a math grade-level. By 2008 I founded "Up Grade Tutoring with Marie", and by 2016 "The Online Biology Tutor", and "French for Friends." I have since helped hundreds of students reach their goals. I can meet in-person or remotely on Zoom. Online private sessions are set up like a 1-on-1 interactive classroom. Lessons are taught in a traditional manner with a whiteboard and teacher. You can record your sessions and screenshot your notes, which is an additional bonus for distance learners. I take the time to understand your level and goals, and custom tailor a curriculum for your success. My 15 years of teaching experience guide my understanding of how to handle each and every student as a unique case. I genuinely wants to see my students succeed confidently. A great tutor can help you achieve your highest potential!

I enjoyed working with Marie so much. She's is very patient and has the perfect accent. She makes studying fun and helped me with pronunciation more than other tutors I've had. I felt like I accomplished a lot for the amount of time I spent and would recommend her to anyone looking to make a big improvement in French skills.

Marie is super fun and knowledgeable! I wanted to get my rusty French back and she helped me get back on that train. Merci beaucoup cherrie!

I was nervous about weather a tutor could help me as I had dug a bit of a hole for myself, but that was short lived when I met with Marie. She was the most down to earth and approachable tutor and actually has multiple disciplines, that I was unaware of when I first signed up, she managed to get me to the level I needed to be at and the fact she did multiple subjects really helped a lot.
