Learning a new language is not always easy, but with Mark it is quite realistic. The learning process is built on practical materials. And thanks to his relaxed but well-structured teaching style, you quickly absorb new material and learn previous ones. In my case, I went from level A2 to B2 in 5 months. So, I recommend learning English with Mark.

I always do the homework that Jean asks me to do. And I have already noticed progress in listening, understanding and building sentences in English in different tenses. When I mispronounce a word or make mistakes, Jean corrects me in an encouraging manner. Jean professionalism and structured lessons have certainly increased my desire to speak English fluently.

Why Is Academic English Different from Regular English?
Academic English is a completely different level of language use. While everyday English allows you to communicate, travel, and get by, academic English requires the ability to read scientific articles, write research papers, present structured arguments, and participate in intellectual discussions. It is a precise, structured form of language filled with specialized terminology that varies by field of study.
The issue most students only discover after starting their studies is this: a high score in English exams does not necessarily prepare them to write an academic essay, read and understand a scientific journal article, or participate in a seminar conducted entirely in English. The gap between “knowing English” and “being able to study in English” is significant — but it can be bridged with focused learning.
A private teacher specializing in academic English can help you identify your exact gaps and work on them before they become a problem. Instead of learning “general English,” you focus on what truly matters: the structure of academic writing, vocabulary specific to your field, citation rules, and the confidence to speak and participate in an academic environment.
Comparison: Everyday English vs. Academic English
| Parameter | Everyday English | Academic English |
|---|---|---|
| Writing style | Informal, flexible | Formal, structured, precise |
| Vocabulary | General and simple | Field-specific terminology |
| Reading | News, social media | Articles, textbooks, journals |
| Writing | Messages, emails | Essays, reports, research papers |
| Speaking | Casual conversation | Seminars, presentations, discussions |
| Goal | Basic communication | Academic success |
What Skills Are Required for Studying in English?
To succeed in studies in English — whether locally or abroad — you need mastery of four core skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. However, in an academic context, each of these skills takes on an additional dimension. Academic reading is not just about understanding the text — it involves critical analysis, identifying arguments, and distinguishing between facts and interpretation. Academic writing is not just about correct grammar — it requires building structured arguments supported by evidence, citations, and conclusions.
A commonly overlooked skill is academic listening: the ability to follow long lectures in English, take notes in real time, and understand different accents — British, American, Australian, and sometimes even Indian or Chinese. In practice, many university lecturers abroad are not native speakers, so adapting to different accents is a real skill that can be developed.
With a private teacher, you can work on each of these skills individually — investing more time exactly where you need it most. If your reading is strong but your writing is weak, the teacher will focus on writing. If speaking in seminars feels intimidating, you can practice presentations and discussions in a safe and supportive environment. This makes learning focused, efficient, and relevant.
- Reading and critically analyzing academic texts
- Writing structured essays, reports, and research papers
- Proper citation using APA, MLA, Chicago styles
- Understanding lectures and different accents
- Active participation in seminars and discussions
- Delivering academic presentations with confidence
- Building specialized vocabulary for your field
- Writing emails to professors and administration
Preparing for English Exams: IELTS, TOEFL, Matriculation and More
English exams are one of the key factors on the path to education — both locally and abroad. IELTS or TOEFL scores are required by most universities in the UK, the United States, Australia, and Canada, and sometimes even for programs in Israel conducted in English. The challenge is that these exams test not only your English level — they also assess your ability to perform under time pressure, apply strategies, and understand the exam structure in depth.
A private teacher specializing in exam preparation knows exactly what types of questions appear in each section, which common mistakes lead to lost points, and how to practice effectively within limited time. This is very different from general English learning — it is a focused, strategic preparation aimed at one goal: achieving the highest possible score.
At Language.online, you can find teachers specializing in IELTS, TOEFL, SAT, and matriculation exam preparation. Before choosing a teacher, review their specialization and ask about their experience with the specific exam you are preparing for. A teacher who has prepared dozens of students for IELTS knows the test inside out — and can save you weeks of unfocused self-study.
| Exam | What Is Tested | Best For | Typical Required Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| IELTS Academic | Reading, writing, listening, speaking | Study in the UK, Australia, Canada | 6.5–7.0 |
| TOEFL iBT | Reading, writing, listening, speaking | Study in the United States | 80–100 |
| SAT | English, math, writing | Admission to U.S. universities | Varies by institution |
| Matriculation English | Reading, writing, listening comprehension | Admission to institutions in Israel | 80–100 |
| Duolingo English Test | All skills | Fast alternative to IELTS/TOEFL | 110–120 |

A private teacher working one-on-one with you can identify exactly where your weaknesses are and fix them before they affect your grades.
At Language.online, you choose your teacher yourself. You can search by specialization — exam preparation, academic English, academic writing — and read reviews from students who have already gone through the same process.

Like many others, the certificate of this exam is considered valid for 2 years. The equivalent of this exam in England and Australia is the IELTS exam, which is also taken for admission to an educational institution or when applying for a job.
