About Me
italki teacher since Apr 22, 2020InterestsSports & FitnessMedical & HealthcareTravel
I am a passionate, enthusiastic, diligent and energetic person who really cares about people and tries to help them whenever I can. Whether on the sports field or in business I give 100 per cent to everything I do. I believe such dedication, persistence and commitment combined with my principles of morality and ethics have assisted me in all aspects of my life.
It is these values, ideals and aspirations that I feel I can impart to others in their striving to reach their goals and achieve their fullest potential should they choose to enhance their lives. I love sharing my life experiences and giving advice and instilling confidence in others as their success is ultimately my success.Me as a Teacher
I am a dedicated, passionate, compassionate, enthusiastic, diligent and supportive teacher who prepares thoroughly for each and every lesson. I have worked for five years for one of Vietnam’s most prestigious schools which has allowed me not only the opportunity to witness and observe excellent teachers, but to meticulously plan lessons using the CELTA frameworks of staging and scaffolding allowing the students to excel in all of the four language skills.
After 15 months in South Africa, I returned to Vietnam on 2 February 2023 to teach IELTS, adults and teenagers face to face in the classroom. PLEASE NOTE: I AM TAKING A BREAK FROM ITALKI DUE TO WORKLOAD IN VIETNAM.My lessons & teaching style
All lessons are rigorously planned and are engaging, interactive, fully communicative, sometimes energetic (kindergarten), fun filled and student led. Lessons are a combination of interesting and engaging sitter and stirrer activities that are fun and conducive to learners acquiring knowledge and experience in the four skills.
It is important that the students enjoy learning English and are totally supported and encouraged at all times in this learning process. If they are having fun and are happy it equates to a satisfied and fulfilled teacher. I am therefore a flexible, adaptable, supportive and fully engaged teacher whose teaching style changes from level to level.My teaching material

With Mark it's like to dive in a comprehensive path made up with Business English, General English and preparation for job interview. Speaking of the latter, with Mark we rewrote from scratch my CV, my LinkedIn profile and we prepared all the main job interview questions. Because of this work I was able to got a very good job offer by a interesting company. Furthermore I underline the unique Mark's capability in terms of support until you reach the goal. Truly recommended!!
