Learn English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.

Who are we?

One of the leading language training centers in Europe

with over 35 years experience in language training, comprised of

20 highly qualified instructors teaching their native tongues,

backed up by an efficient administrative and educational staff for reports,  and follow-up, but

most importantly, a school that our students simply love to come to, given the friendly, relaxed atmosphere, with a proven track record in the most important field: RESULTS!

Our specialty is continuing education in foreign languages for the many firms, large and small, which surround us here at our home base in Provence.

Despite our location in the south of France, The Marzio School is a constant immersion in English – real English – as spoken by our English teachers, representing 5 different Anglo-Saxon countries. Our English teachers hail from the United States, England, Scotland, Ireland and Australia.

We are in fact a team of expatriates, practically a family, and we only speak our mother tongues at work. Although English (ESL/EFL) represents over 80% of our activity, we also teach a few other languages: our Italian teacher is from Rome, our Spanish teachers hail from Colombia and Ecuador, our French teacher from Martigues, our Portuguese teacher from Lisbon...

The pictures here show a few scenes of downtown Istres, a short walk from our school. 

We often organize 10-hour-per-day immersion courses. The immersion comes naturally. Morning, afternoon, and during meals, the teachers are always with their students, and there are always 2 or more well-coordinated teachers for each student or mini-group. The atmosphere is frankly ideal for a true immersion.

There are also quite a few English and American engineers and business people  in our school who learn French – from Basic to Business French. And our German, Spanish, and Italian teachers all represent the countries they come from.

Most of our students are from local firms, small companies and multinationals, while others come from Paris and other parts of the world.
