Me as a Teacher

• Hi, my name is Marcus, I am from London, England. • I've been an English teacher for many years, specialising in conversation. • I've taught English in language schools in England, Thailand, Korea, and Japan. • I love meeting people and I love helping people say the things they want to say in English!

My lessons & teaching style

• I am a specialist in conversation lessons... • Let's talk about the things you want to talk about, using the language you need! • Plus, I like to use short and interesting news articles and book extracts in my lessons too. • We look at the article, discuss the article, and I give feedback on vocab, grammar, and expressions. • This gives the lesson some structure and makes it more useful and fun. • But just conversation is good too - whatever you would like to talk about! ⭐️ Good luck with your language learning, and see you soon! PS - I'm so sorry, but I don't teach kids or anyone under 18 years of age.

I have been learning with Marcus for almost three years. To my astonishment, Marcus is still keeping a constant work ethic, just as the first class! I am so gratitude for all his efforts in helping and encouraging me!

I have been studying English with Marcus for about two years (time past quickly ~), still remain fresh and interesting for each single class with him, we always have different topics and new fields to discuss, could be a piece of news, a story happened around you or just a picture, and the feeling is just like talking to one of your old friends. Strongly recommend to learn with him.
