Mark Bogard

Mark is hands down the best English teacher I've ever had. I've been having lessons with him for over 9 months and they've paid off. He has been able to take me over these months from an intermediate to a fluent one. Back in September I was barely able to mumble some words before breaking into a cold sweat but now, all thanks to his patience, his extraordinary advice and his way of making lessons fun, enjoyable, and interesting, I'm able to have an almost fluent conversation with anyone and about anything (any mistakes I make are due to my inability to pronounce something in the right way or to call a certain expression to mind). The long and short of it is that Mark is above all an excellent person, who is able to pay attention to you as a real person, not as a mere student. He has the potencial and the means to help you make progress with your English without the fear and nervousness that usually goes along with it. All things considered, a shining example of what a good teacher is.

One of the most impressive courses on italki !!!

I've really enjoyed my classes with Mark. Although we follow a book as a general guide, the real value of the lessons comes from his teaching style. He has a very close and approachable way of explaining things, which makes everything easier to understand and follow. The atmosphere in class is always relaxed and friendly, and that helped me feel comfortable from the beginning. I never feel rushed or judged, and I can ask questions freely. Thanks to his method, I’ve gained more confidence and clarity in the language. I highly recommend him if you're looking for a teacher who makes learning both effective and enjoyable.

Classes with Mark are always fun, sometimes I am not on the best mood for an English class but I take it anyways and I feel invigorated afterwards, it’s totally worth it. I am not very talkative person but Mark is very resourceful, he keep bringing new interesting topics that I like to talk about and I end up really enjoying our conversations, the hour seem like a minute, that happens when you are having a great time. He is also practical, motivating and patient. I truly recommend him.

Mark is an amazing conversationalist to talk to! He is energetic, casual and trustworthy! I was able to relax and have a conversation in a good and friendly manner! He is a nice person in general! He told me interesting stories about himself and I told him the same because he was interested in me. It was great to talk with him today! I hope to see him again soon to have another great conversation in English!

Great as always
