FACILITATOR: MARIE TAMBY

Marie is truly a dynamic woman.

Originally from southern India, Marie grew up speaking English, French and Pamil. She moved to France where she met her husband and became a Parisian model for 15 years. Now a proud Canadian, Marie continues to strive for the best in everything she does.

Her English Conversation class at the Richmond Women’s Resource Centre is no exception. Marie studied English in University and felt strongly about sharing her knowledge with others in the Metro Vancouver community. She teaches Business English classes in Vancouver and still finds spare time to help women of all English-speaking levels gain a better understanding of the language and how it applies to everyday life.

She says she doesn’t waste time with useless parts of the English language which we hardly use, but focuses on teaching basic English vocabulary and conversation skills to new (and some not so new) immigrants wanting to learn how to communicate at a level that makes everyday just a little bit easier. Marie has a “je ne sais quoi” about her that makes her students feel comfortable and capable of mastering the basics of the English language.

Marie says she can always use more help, and welcomes all fluent English speakers who are interested in volunteering with her English Conversation class.
