À propos de moi
Professeur italki depuis le 22 Aug 2011Sujets d'intérêtLectureScienceSanté
Why do students stay with me for 350+ lessons? Because I transform passive knowledge into fluent speech— in a method refined over 40+ years. My qualifications include Cambridge C2 Proficiency (Grade A), Cambridge Teaching Knowledge Test (3 modules; Band 4, top grades), 7 postgraduate diplomas: English Teaching Methodology, Educational Psychology, Neuropsychopedagogy, Psychoanalysis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Neuroscience, Organizational and Work Psychology, plus an ongoing BS in Speech Therapy. My lessons follow a defined, tried-and-tested path, so you are not used as a guinea pig (a trial subject) for unproven ideas. Students love their lessons—see their stories in the feedback.Moi en tant que professeur
I’ve taught since 1984 and studied French (C1), German (B1), and Italian. This means I understand both sides of the journey. I combine trusted Oxford and Cambridge techniques with my active reconstruction methodology. Shaped by psychological principles of activation, this method is uniquely adapted to one-on-one learning. It doesn’t rely on passive study but activates your skills through speaking, revealing its full power as you progress. This approach builds lasting, real-world fluency.
Have you ever recognized a word but couldn’t remember it when speaking? My method turns what you recognize into what you can say naturally. Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
In my lessons, we develop all core skills—reading, writing, listening, speaking, grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation—using top-quality Oxford and Cambridge materials. Speaking receives special emphasis because, in today’s AI-assisted world, it’s the greatest challenge. AI can help you write—but it can’t speak for you. I ensure you gain confidence in real conversations, whether for exams, business, or everyday life. For a glimpse of lesson formats, check my course descriptions. And to understand why students stay with me for years, take a look at my CV and student feedback—you’ll see their stories speak for themselves.Mes ressources d'enseignement

Proficiency Translation Certificate CEFR 2 - Cambridge University UK - 1989This was an optional, additional part of the Cambridge Proficiency exam; it awarded an additional certificate in Translation from and into English (Portuguese<>English). It involved translating C2 level texts in English and Portuguese without recourse to dictionaries. Different language pairs were offered each year. Due to an utter lack of candidates for this additional part of the Proficiency exam, the translation exam was discontinued shortly after the turn of the millennium.

A Big Milestone in My English Journey – 425 Hours with Marco
Today marks a very special milestone in my English journey.
Over the past 23 months, Marco and I have spent 425 hours together on italki. When I started, my level was around B1. Now, I am approaching C1 — and the transformation has been real and measurable.
What makes me most proud is not just the time invested, but the results I can clearly feel in my daily life. Recently, I was able to watch Moneyball on Netflix comfortably, and I joined Zoom calls with international classmates effortlessly. I still remember how much I struggled to understand during my class in San Diego in 2021. The difference today is huge.
Marco has not only helped me improve my vocabulary and grammar, but also my confidence, fluency, and ability to think in English.
Thank you, Marco. These 23 months have truly transformed my English.

Marco is one of the best teachers. He knows exactly what he’s doing, even if sometimes we students feel like we know better. But that’s not the case — you just need to trust Marco and diligently do what he says.
