• 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!

Another great lesson with Marcus! I have been learning English with Marcus for more than two years and the creative and novel teaching approach of teacher Marcus’ still sometimes takes me by surprise! Marcus is a dedicated teacher, and is a gem on italki!

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.
