Marike's guidance has been instrumental not only during my three-year stay in D.C. but also through Skype sessions since my return to France. Her classes are remarkably effective; under her instruction, I've made significant strides in pronunciation and vocabulary across a wide range of topics. Marike's depth of knowledge and teaching talent, coupled with her adept use of methodological tools, make her a truly exceptional educator. With boundless patience and adaptability, she tailors each session to my specific needs, even extending her support to assist with resume refinement and professional presentations. Reflecting on my progress since returning to France, I'm keenly aware of the debt of gratitude I owe her and the pivotal role she's played in my journey. If tasked with imparting advice for English proficiency, I would unequivocally recommend seeking Marike's guidance—it's the recipe for success.
