So far I have prepared students for Toefl, Toeic, Eiken, Ielts, Versant, ESOL, and more... I teach everything, from small talk to correct intonation to complex writing and academic writing. My students come from different fields from business to creative arts and academia.
The first step in my educational technique is to make student like the subject they are learning, I always try to discover their interests and then we go on to learning English trough that, Grammar is the base of everything so I approach that first, and the everything else is a buildup. I am kind and not strict, but I often give homework and additional tasks student can work on.My teaching material

This teacher was amazing in helping me prepare for the TOEFL speaking section. Thanks to her tailored guidance and patient corrections, my speaking score improved significantly. She focused on my specific weaknesses, helping me become more fluent and confident. I’m really grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for TOEFL speaking help!

La clase de prueba fue muy tranquila, me sentí muy cómoda, la profe me permitió soltarme a hablar, aunque aunque aun me falta confianza en el idioma. Considero un plus que entienda español, así puedo preguntar cosas que no sé en ingles.

Words can't describe who happy I am that I finally found a teacher who I can vibe with, all while learning more about the language, culture and even myself. If you haven't booked a class with Marina yet, you are clearly missing out.
