About Me
italki teacher since Dec 25, 2012Interest topicTravelHistoryEnvironment & NatureSports & FitnessMedical & Healthcare
Hi! I'm Mark and I am originally London, England but I now live in SE Asia. 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/edit 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 we 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 do not teach children.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 10,000 students a variety of English skills including business English, IELTS preparation, conversation, interview preparation, as well proofreading. I have a lot of 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
In our first lesson, I will assess your level of English, discuss your learning requirements, and then organise a learning plan that is tailored to your own schedule and budget. My lessons are 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 please let me know. I can provide any learning material before your lesson(s) and I can also give you homework (optional of course). If you want to record your lesson then this is also fine, and don't forget to ask me if you have any special requests.My teaching material

Thank you Mark for the fruitful lesson!
He corrects my mistake carefully so that I can notice what is my weakness in speaking.
He always choose daily life topics for me so that I can speak easily and learn vocabulary for my daily life.
