I'm a British male, that has lived mostly North of London, but has been fortunate enough to study at university in Bristol and work in Brisbane, Australia. I'm an Experienced IELTS, business and English teacher.
I have been teaching English for 3 years; in both a Thai school and more recently online to pupils all over the world. A Former businessman in London, entrepreneur and now English teacher; as the saying goes "variety is the spice of life”! I like to talk and discuss a range of subjects and am confident whatever your level I can add value and enhance your English-speaking ability.
I look forward to speaking with you shortly.
Me as a Teacher
Its a huge responsibility to help shape an individuals future and being a teacher involves both sharing knowledge and shining guidance into their future life. This must be conducted in both an enjoyable and motivational way that engages with pupils and brings the best from the lessons and courses i have prepared. I always aim to make teaching both inspirational and beneficial to those who participate.
My lessons & teaching style
IELTS/Business/Freetalk
My approach to teaching is descriptive rather that prescriptive, with the goal of quickly building vocabulary and fluency without being over-encumbered with unnecessarily complicated grammar. I believe in contextualising every lesson, to give my clients the confidence to converse in English in the very specific contexts they find themselves in from day to day.

Marcus was amazing with my very talkative and curious son. He was patient, engaging, and managed to turn his endless questions into a productive learning experience. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to improve their English!
