About Me
italki teacher since Sep 25, 2017Interest topicHistoryGamingTravel
Hello, I’m Martin and I teach French, Tagalog and English. I love reading books, watching documentaries and playing video games. I am into photography, and I do yoga too. I would love to perfect the art of making amazing crêpes for dessert or eggs for breakfast one day. :)
Having spent a huge chunk of my life learning foreign languages at home, at school and in different countries, I can assure you that I know the challenges a language learner faces. I've tried many techniques and strategies throughout my years of study, and I try my best to apply them in my teaching.Me as a Teacher

We will always start our meetings with a short introduction followed by a structured lesson on grammar, pronunciation, writing, etc. I create my lessons on a Google Document that we will use together in class. I use several materials for my lessons while also relying on my experience as a pedagogical engineer.
If you have specific needs, you may inform me a few days before we start, so I can prepare a lesson that is well-adapted to you. I give a lot of homework, so you can progress in your own time. :)
I love students who are passionate and who are not afraid to make mistakes. I believe that it's better to make mistakes with your teacher to avoid some very funny situations in the future!My teaching material

Martin is a great teacher who built up my Tagalog to where I had enough confidence to hold a conversation with my grandmother. His lessons are very well structured and as long as you do the homework you'll progress at a good pace.

Martin is an excellent teacher. He is really nice and supportive and it has been so rewarding to learn French from someone who also had to do it. He can explain concepts and expressions very well.
