It's been a long time (>3years) studying English with Marcus, perhaps I am not the most diligent students but trying to be the one most persistent. You won't feel boring learning with Marcus as he always be well prepared for your lessons. I high recommend him. 👍

Marcus is nice as always. We talked about a new book today and the book is very interesting. We discussed the book cover and an excerpt from the book. I enjoyed the reading process a lot!

As always, Marcus was very patient and encouraging.
We talked about the books we’ve been reading lately, and he recommended a new one to me. He also guided me through the first paragraph and I learned a lot today. I realized that I still need to work on my listening and expand my vocabulary.
