• 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!

Marcus explained everything in great detail during the lesson. He corrected some of my mistakes, and we also discussed a book together. It was a very enjoyable conversation.

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.

TRUST ME, YOU WON'T FEELT REGRETED BOOKING Marcus's lesson. It's super rewarding. He's so patient and never lets a conversation fall flat. He knows show to cheer you up and keep the conversation flowing. He also try everthing he could to let you "open you mouth". Our class is always filled with laughter and joy. Marcus is a good teacher and a good friend.
