Hi, My name is Marc. I'm originally from Ireland but have spent the last 12 years living in Thailand. I love learning about how languages and culture shape us as human beings. I have learned so much about cultural diversity since moving to Asia. Learning languages is my favorite hobby, alongside staying healthy through exercise, nutrition, and meditation.
I am here to teach students of all levels.Me as a Teacher
I have over 6 years of teaching experience. I started teaching online soon after I completed my 120-hour TEFL course in Chiang Mai. I've taught on various online platforms, mainly in China, but have also taught many professionals from all over the world.
I've taught K-12 students, teenagers, adults, and business professionals from beginner to advanced. I place a lot of importance on what students should be doing both inside and outside the classroom.My lessons & teaching style
As a self-taught language learner, I'm not only here to teach, but to also coach you outside of the class.
I have overcome many obstacles on my own language learning journey, and I'm here to help you through yours. Our lessons will be very interactive and formed in a way for the student to speak as much as possible. All material is based on your own personal interests in order to keep the lessons interesting and engaging.My teaching material

Thanks again Marc! Awesome lesson. Very helpful - I saw on his profile that he speaks in Thai and I was looking for a teacher who has Thai as a second language. Thanks again, love your coaching style! See you next class!
