I would thoroughly recommend Marianne as a tutor and speech & language therapist

I’ve worked with Marianne for 10 years. She is a passionate and approachable speech and language therapist who is a lot of fun to work with. I would highly recommend her services.

I found Marianne when looking for a qualified speech and language therapist to help me with my English speaking as a 2nd language learning, and she’s been my tutor for the last six months.

I’m very satisfied with the level of confidence she’s helped me to achieve: I enjoyed our lessons a lot thanks to their structure, personalisation (working more intensely on the words I found the hardest), and the goals she’s set for me each week. I also appreciate the fact that she gave me useful daily homework to complete between lessons, was great in keeping me motivated, and always had time to answer my questions.

Since working with her there’s been a significant transformation in my pronunciation and clarity, and I now feel people in my office understand me much better, and there aren’t any miscommunications when speaking to my colleagues. I would definitely recommend Marianne as a tutor!
