I'm a native English speaking teacher from Britain who has recently returned, with my family, from working in Russia, where I spent over 7 years. I have two young boys who entertain me whenever I'm not working. I enjoy travel, sports and reading. Whilst living in Russia I learnt Russian to an intermediate level, this skill helps me to better understand the problems that learners have, and to therefore overcome these problems. I've been working as a teacher since 2010, I hold a CELTA qualification. Due to my experience as a teacher I have the answer to almost any question that you might have about English. I've spent most of my teaching career in Russia, however, since late 2019 I have been back in the UK, much of the time working at the University of Leeds teaching English for Academic Purposes, preparing international students to start a Master's programme. In 2020 I have also been studying, and I now hold DELTA Module 1. I'm an open, friendly teacher, I try to ensure that there's a combination of grammar, vocabulary and conversations in my lessons, to improve both fluency and accuracy.

Mark在利兹大学工作，而我即将在那里学习，这是我最初选择和他一起学习的理由，在上课的过程中，他非常认真，幽默且对我很有帮助。如果你即将前往英国留学，和Mark一起学习是一个极好的选择。

I think it was an excellent start to the new English learning process. I like how Mark explained the grammar and new words, he is very polite and patient to the students, but he doesn't forget to pay attention to the mistakes and correct them accordingly :)
