Mario is a great teacher. He goes above and beyond to create material personal to my situation and is very thoughtful about preparing his students for the situations they will encounter in the real world. He works very hard and truly cares for his students. I highly recommend Mario.

He tenido la oportunidad de tener varios maestros de inglés y Juan Mario es el primer maestro que después de evaluarme, me hizo las observaciones de todos los errores que cometo al hablar, tanto gramaticales como de fonética. Me me los corrigió como cualquier peofesor pero me explicó porqué son errores. Tiene mucha paciencia, es ordenado, metódico y tiene una muy buena memoria.
Tiene un gran conocimiento de muchos idiomas no solamente del inglés. Esto es una ventaja, ya que yo cometo errores en el inglés por influencia de mi conocimiento del idioma francés. Como Juan Mario también habla perfectamente el francés, identificó mis errores y al revés en otras ocasiones acude al francés para que yo entienda mejor la pronunciación de ciertas palabras. Pone ejemplos prácticos, conoce muy bien la gramática en inglés, español y francés ( seguramente de otros idiomas porque es poliglota) . Sus explicaciones son claras y da muchos ejemplos. Buen profesor, muy recomendable
