After teaching French at the University of British Columbia Okanagan in Canada, where she was in charge of conversation classes, grammar classes and regular French events, Marie decided to start a new adventure in Sydney, where she taught children, teenagers and adults at all levels, privately but also at Sydney Community College and City East Community College.

Outside the classroom, Louise enjoys swimming, horse riding, and spending time with animals.
