Hello everyone, this is my official introduction post :) I’m a new English teacher here at EduFire. I’ve only been back in the USA with easy, convenient internet access for about a year … before that I was traveling all over teaching and so I’m looking forward to being able to turn all my old students from around the globe into EduFire converts :)

But what really brought me here was the possibility of continuing my own language studies in a convenient and affordable way. I study Japanese 皆さん今日は！とても嬉しいでも私の日本語方は上手とは言えません。最近、大変忙しいになったらあまり練習できません。だからEduFireは強い便利ですね。And also Czech which I am more a beginner at because … mluvim moc špatne T_T

In the past, time, money and regular availability has kept me in self-study mode when it came to my own language studies (so frustrating!) so to be able to earn a little money doing something I love (teaching) and then use that to pay for something else I love (learning) is probably the best situation possible.

Here’s hoping anyway :)

Wow, Marianne you really seem a good tutor. I like your video a lot. It really shows how CLEVER you are (in England) and how SMART and INTELLIGENT you are (in USA).

I hope you enjoy Edufire :)

Hi Marianne!

Welcome to eduFire! It’s a great place for both teaching and learning, I’m sure you’ll love it as much as we do! :)

Oh, and I loooooved your intro post! :D

Hi Marianne, welcome to eduFire. You know you can count on a tutor if they too are students themselves. Once you stop learning, you stop growing and living.

Wow Marianne, I understand the “circus” part now! It’s amazing all that you’ve done. I too want to learn Czech, and I think this is a great forum to be able to do it in.

Best of luck to you and I know we’ll all be looking forward to hearing more about your exciting life!
