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!

As always, I love classes with Mr Dent! Beyond improving my English, he really inspires me to think deep and interesting topics by sharing quotes, facts, and knowledge. They really make our conversations more informative and engaging. I leave each class with a clearer, more positive mindset that I can feel would be life changing! Looking forward to our next exciting conversation!
