What sets Marv apart is his ability to make English lessons truly engaging. He doesn't just focus on grammar rules - instead, he skillfully weaves personal life experiences into his teaching. This approach makes the content both relatable and memorable. In his class, you don't just learn how to construct sentences correctly. Marv shows you how language applies to real-world situations, enhancing both your English skills and your ability to express yourself effectively in various contexts. His teaching method bridges the gap between textbook knowledge and practical application. It's refreshing to see an instructor who understands that language learning is about more than just rules – it's about communication and personal growth.

I agree, one of the best teachers I ever had! Marvin is extremely professional, commited and dedicated to his students, in just one hour we were able to go over so many things that I feel really like I got the most from this hour, let alone the fact that this was just the first time we met. I also appreciate that he targeted the lesson for me, so I was doing something were useful, and he had great ideas too. I like his approach also because he goes deeply into everything. Thank you for your great job, see you soon!

Mr. Dent is the best teacher I could have possibly chosen for my CPE preparation. He helped me make incredible progress. If you want to make sure you will be ready for your exam, this is your person. Structured lessons, real exam-style preparation, constructive feedback, and, most importantly, always making sure you understand everything even if it means he needs to explain it in five different ways – that is what makes Mr. Dent really stand out. Thank you.

As always, an amazing class with Marvin. Time always flies at our class; we discussed life, stranger things, we talked about actors and we also had time to focus on CPE stuff. What an incredible teacher!! I feel the power and improvement from our start until now. Basking in the glory with MARVS!!
