I am currently attending a bachelor's degree in Speech-Language Pathology, which helps me better support hard-of-hearing and hearing-impaired students.
I grew up in the USA.Minha atuação como professor
In 1984 I started teaching English privately. Early in my career I was trained in the audiolingual method, and afterwards in the direct method at Berlitz. I also studied French, German and Italian using different methods. Later, I was trained in the Communicative Approach. All methods have strong points and weaknesses. Some techniques work better in a group and need to be adapted for individual lessons. Over the decades, over thousands of lessons and with the inspiration of ideas from psychology and applied linguistics, I have learned to blend different principles and techniques to overcome learning obstacles. My ongoing Speech Pathology studies deepen communication insights. Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino
I strongly believe a carefully structured pedagogical program, with clear stages and goals, makes a significant difference.
My courses prepare students for academic, professional and social endeavours. I use updated textbooks, produced by Cambridge and Oxford universities, in line with the latest trends in teaching methodology and exam preparation.
I offer the kind of language instruction one might expect to find in the best language schools in the world, but I do this individually, in a much more relaxing, highly supportive and customized manner.
I send students a test before their first lesson to determine their level, so that I can choose the most suitable book for their course.Meu material de ensino

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.

I’ve had over 300 hours of lessons with Marco, and he’s truly the best English tutor I’ve ever met — not only on italki but across all online platforms I’ve tried.
Before meeting him, I had spent years struggling with English and trying many teachers without real progress. But over the past two years with Marco, my English has improved dramatically — I’ve reached an advanced level, and these two years have been worth far more than all my previous years combined.
Marco’s structured approach and genuine care for lesson quality make him exceptional. He often continues beyond the scheduled time just to ensure understanding, which makes students feel respected and motivated.
I’m truly grateful for his dedication. If you’re serious about improving your English in a clear and systematic way, I highly recommend Marco.

Marco is an incredible teacher, I've been having lessons with him for 10 years. Within that period I have had progressively better jobs in three well-known Oil and Gas international companies. And now I am a business development manager who works and negotiates all over the world. Having improved my English has opened doors for me on an International level. Marco is a real game changer. I really appreciate his new course "Enhanced learning through videos". I love the business related topics and neuroscience knowledge which I can use in real life negotiations.

I’ve been improving my English with Marco for about two years and I highly recommend his lessons.
His patience, kindness and his proficiency are the underlying reasons to lower my nervousness and to improve my overall speaking skills.
Marco always focuses on individual needs, provides a variety of different materials and tries out different pathways to find the best one which leads to my goal.
Moreover, he is not merely my teacher but my companion on my journey towards better English and our sessions are always fun.
Thank you, Marco!
