Thank you so much, Marie, for your ever-thoughtful feedback. One of the main reasons I signed up for your sessions was to learn how to make slides that are both visually appealing and impactful. I truly feel like I’ve gained that. It helped me build a template that I can now apply to other roots, spelling conventions, and more.

Marie's work is one of a kind.  She is an exceptional educator (or "scholar" if you'd rather this word:) who takes her learners on a journey bringing the stories of words to life. Marie's teaching is rooted in visual thinking, and it creates a narrative that draws students in, helping them truly understand. You can almost see her thought process unfolding step by step, making learning feel intuitive, engaging, and deeply accessible.

“The work that Marie does with students and families is exceptional in its own category of excellence! Marie is able to connect with students to develop their missing skills with customized lesson planning, she walks families through the confusion of learning differences and the necessary accommodations that can change lives. Marie also pulls together teams of experts (as a teacher/parent I have also been invited to consult) to facilitate information sharing in support of student success.”

“As a teacher and proud mom of an endearing grade 3 girl, with several clinical diagnoses, I was very impressed with the efforts Marie took to connect with my daughter, to see and to hear her. Marie’s genuine interest and understanding of my daughter’s specific needs allowed my daughter to open up and trust her, and the learning Marie wished to cultivate in my daughter. Marie constantly motivates her to see beyond her challenges and use her strengths as a dyslexic thinker when tackling her learning journey. Marie helped my daughter see herself as being smart and creative when dissecting the English spelling system. The tools that have been offered to my daughter will consistently serve her well in her learning journey.”

“Marie is a wonderful teacher: knowledgeable, compassionate, and enthusiastic. Both my children love working with her. Marie has provided them with tools that have dramatically improved their reading and spelling. Also, she has inspired their curiosity about language and given them the confidence to ask questions and investigate when they meet with challenges.”
