About Me
italki teacher since Dec 25, 2012InterestsTravelEnvironment & NatureMedical & HealthcareTechScience
I'm Mark from London, England. I began online teaching in 2010 and since then I have been helping people from all over the world to develop their English skills, pass their IELTS exams, proofread documents, and ace their interviews! My accent is very neutral and easy to understand for beginners. In my spare time I love to travel, swim, eat out, and socialise with friends. I am well travelled so I can chat about a wide variety of topics during our class including; culture, politics, food (a real passion of mine), and tourism.
*Please note that I only teach adults and not teach children under 15.Me as a Teacher
I have a real passion for helping people to improve their English skills and over the years, I have taught over 15,000 students a variety of English skills including business English, IELTS preparation, conversation, interview preparation, as well as proofreading. I have many return students, some of whom have been studying with me since I began teaching in 2010 so I am confident you will like my teaching style. I am patient, knowledgeable, friendly, understanding, and most importantly... reliable!My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are fully interactive, relaxed, and thoroughly enjoyable which keeps my students coming back to me time after time. I like to use material from my vast database of worksheets and books, or if you have your own ideas or material then you can let me know.

During the class, Mark gave me feedback on my writing sample, including corrections and a predictable IELTS result. This gave me a clear picture of how far I am from my goal.
