About Me
italki teacher since Nov 25, 2019
I currently live in Mexico even though I was born in Holland. I've also lived in Germany. My entire life has been about languages and I've learned them in different ways. In Mexico I teach English, German at the University of Veracruz and I also teach English, German, Spanish and Dutch privately.
Me as a Teacher
I've been teaching for 25 years. It's something that I've always loved. My students seem to like my classes a lot. I'm dynamic and playful but I'm also dedicated to my students learning something that will provide them with the tools to make their lives better.
My lessons & teaching style
As a teacher I try to find different ways to make learning an interesting experience. I use lots of different materials and am able to explain why things are the way they are, in any of the languages I speak. However, I try not to impose. I'm always open to new ideas, to different opinions.
NOTE: Even though I like them a lot, I do no teach children. They require special attention. I just don't have the time.
OMG! I didn't even know time was up.
The lesson was so relaxing and he was also reassuring when I made mistakes.
I am sure doing more classes.

Marco is amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable of the spoken language, but also the rules and structures. He is very kind and pleasant to work with. He has a very calm and positive personality and I highly recommend him.

Marco is a fantastic teacher, funny and kind while also being enormously patient. His command of four languages makes him an ideal teacher. Highly recommended!

As usual every class is a delight.
Just after a few classes, my confidence has increased.
I absolutely recommend.
