About Me
italki teacher since Nov 4, 2019InterestsFoodWritingScienceReadingEnvironment & Nature
Hello, my name is Mark.
I am a certified ESL teacher, with various TEFL qualifications (TQUK Level 5 168 hour, GA Level 3 teaching young learners 30 hours and Practical 30 hour )
I teach both children and adults.
I became interested in teaching English when my daughter was late to start speaking.
( she didn’t start talking until she was almost 4!)
I have worked with speech therapists and learnt all about pronunciation and speech patterns. This started me on my journey towards becoming a speech therapist, which has led me into teaching English.
I have seven years of experience teaching online.
I’m also a web designer and a jeweller and can help with any IT or developer related language.
I have also worked both in retail and manufacturing.
I believe that communication is the most important skill we need, no matter what you do, and I am passionate about helping my students speak English so that they can reach their goals.
We all learn best when we are having fun, so I always make my lesson about things that you interest you.
With my background in Australia and South Africa I have a very neutral accent, perfect for teaching English.
I also have fast and reliable internet, so IT issues should never stand in the way of learning.Certificates

Mark is a skilled teacher who works not only with adults but also with children, so he could be your family teacher. He's a really nice, educated and correct person with whom it's a pleasure to share informations, ideas and experiences.

I feel more confident with my interview skills after only two lessons I had with Mark. Again, I really appreciate Mark helping me with the preparation of job interviews. Thank you!

We did a class in which we could simulate questions that I could face in an interview and Mark went beyond the english teaching also bringing me important feedback on the content of the answers that I could give.
