Matt Marandi
English teacher with 15+ years of experience specializing in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. I'm a TESOL professional with more than 15 years of teaching experience. I have a bachelor's degree and master's degree in applied linguistics from Georgia State University. I also have a TEFL certificate. I lived in South Korea for about 5 years where I taught in a public high school and then adults at Pagoda Language Academy. I am currently working as an English instructor at a university. I am most comfortable working with young adults and professionals. I'm afraid that I'm not well-equipped to work with young learners at the moment. I hope you understand.

Improve English with expert guidance and laughs! Let’s increase confidence and make learning a joy! I earned a Masters of Teaching degree and then a TEFL certification. I've been teaching English to teenage and adult language learners for several years now and my students describe me as supportive, responsive, and empathetic. I take my job seriously but I am also relaxed in general. You can be certain that our classes will be both informative and entertaining. My goal is to make students feel confident in their skills so they can improve more easily, which I do by making class welcoming, safe, and informative. **My lessons are for intermediate to advanced English learners. They are best for teenagers and adults.**

Tailor any of my 6 lessons 📈|🧉|⚖️|🎓|🧪|✏️ to your needs! ▪️ I have 👨🏽🏫 English and Spanish teaching diplomas. Here: https://shorturl.at/suHuu ▪️ I can teach both kids 👧🏽 and adults 🧔🏻, from beginners to advanced students, both in-place and online. ▪️ "Educate" means pretty much "to take or guide someone OUT and FURTHER." Think of education as an infinite field or road 🛣. An educator's role is to get you going towards that endless horizon, because you can always go further. You can always learn more. This implies that my role is basically finding a way to keep you going. Also, education is about becoming MORE CAPABLE AND INDEPENDENT every time. In other words, my job ends where your autonomy begins. ❤️
