I’m Marcus, a certified English teacher with a strong foundation in communication, writing, and public speaking. I studied English and Mass Communications at NCCU, later expanding my academic background at Wake Technical University. I’ve also worked in creative writing, developing scripts and completing a full book manuscript. These experiences, combined with my TEFL certification, allow me to teach with clarity, confidence, and a supportive approach.

My lessons are practical, supportive, and focused on real communication. I help you speak naturally by correcting pronunciation, improving rhythm, and fixing major grammar issues that affect clarity. Each session is structured but relaxed, with clear goals and plenty of speaking practice. I adapt every lesson to your level, interests, and needs so you can build confidence step by step. You’ll get clear explanations, useful feedback, and steady progress you can feel in real conversations.
