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.

Carl was well prepared for the topic of the class, although this was the first time I had talked to him about some serious topics in business. He advised me some important improvements. Carl is pleasant and knows how to create a learning atmosphere.

What Makes an Excellent English Teacher?
An excellent English teacher is much more than someone who speaks the language perfectly. Language proficiency is only the starting point—what truly makes the difference is teaching ability, patience, empathy, and strong pedagogical skills. A good teacher knows how to explain complex concepts in a clear and simple way, how to identify each student’s specific challenges, and how to adapt their teaching method to the learner’s individual style. They do not simply teach the language—they create an environment in which students feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and experimenting with a new language.
A great teacher understands that every student is unique. What works for one learner will not necessarily work for another. Some students need clear structure and plenty of practice, while others prefer free conversation and a more organic approach. Some learn best through visual examples, while others prefer verbal explanations. An excellent teacher recognizes these individual needs, listens carefully, and adapts accordingly—rather than expecting the student to fit into a single rigid method. They also know how to strike the right balance between challenge and support: pushing students forward without causing frustration.
Another defining trait of outstanding teachers is their genuine passion for teaching and for their students’ success. You can see it in their enthusiasm during lessons, in the way they celebrate your progress, and in the time they invest in preparing personalized materials. Such a teacher does not simply do their job—they truly care about your success and are willing to go the extra mile to help you reach your goals.
Key Characteristics of an Excellent English Teacher:
- Strong pedagogical skills – able to deliver knowledge clearly and engagingly
- Patience and empathy – understands that language learning is a process and mistakes are part of it
- Adaptability – tailors teaching methods to each individual student
- Creativity – brings variety and fresh ideas into lessons
- Constructive feedback – corrects mistakes in a supportive, motivating way
- Enthusiasm and inspiration – passes on their love of the language
- Flexibility – willing to change plans if something is not working
- Up-to-date knowledge – teaches real, modern English, not just “textbook English”
- Professionalism – comes prepared, respects schedules, and tracks progress
Native Speakers vs. Bilingual Teachers – What’s Right for You?
One of the most common questions among English learners is whether it is better to study with a native speaker or with a bilingual teacher who also speaks the learner’s mother tongue. The answer depends largely on your level and your goals. For complete beginners, a bilingual teacher who speaks Hebrew can sometimes be an advantage—they can explain complex grammar points in Hebrew, understand exactly where Hebrew speakers tend to make mistakes, and translate concepts that are hard to explain in English alone. This can help build confidence in the early stages.
However, once you have a basic foundation, studying with a native speaker offers a significant advantage. A native speaker brings natural linguistic intuition—they know instinctively what sounds right and what sounds “off,” even if something is technically grammatically correct. They can teach you the expressions people actually use, authentic pronunciation, and the cultural nuances behind the language. When you learn exclusively with a native speaker, you are also forced to think in English rather than translate from Hebrew—and that is exactly what leads to real fluency.
At Language.online, we work exclusively with native English-speaking teachers because we believe this is the most effective way to achieve a high level of English. Even for beginners, our teachers are experienced in teaching at entry level and know how to do so clearly and effectively without relying on translation. They use visual methods, examples, gestures, and demonstrations to convey meaning. As you progress, you will discover that this approach is not only possible—it is the most efficient way to learn.
Comparison: Native Speakers vs. Bilingual Teachers:
| Criterion | Native Speaker | Bilingual Teacher |
|---|---|---|
| Suitable for beginners? | Yes – with a teacher experienced in teaching beginners | Yes – can explain in Hebrew |
| Accent and pronunciation | Authentic, natural accent | Sometimes influenced by another accent |
| Idioms and modern language | Excellent – knows how people really speak today | Good – sometimes less up to date |
| Understanding typical mistakes | Sometimes limited | Excellent – familiar with common mistakes of Hebrew speakers |
| Developing thinking in English | Excellent – encourages thinking directly in English | Less effective – tendency to translate |
| Cultural knowledge | Excellent – brings real, first-hand cultural insight | Limited – secondary or indirect knowledge |
| Fluency and advanced level | Excellent – ideal for intermediate to advanced learners | Less effective at higher levels |
How a Great Teacher Transforms the Learning Experience
The difference between learning with a good teacher and an outstanding one can be dramatic. A great teacher does not just transfer information—they transform your entire relationship with the language. Many people have experienced English learning as boring, frustrating, or stressful, which creates mental blocks or resistance. An excellent teacher knows how to make every lesson engaging, appropriately challenging, and enjoyable. Instead of dreading lessons, you start looking forward to them.
A great teacher also knows how to build confidence. Many learners are afraid to speak English because they fear making mistakes or sounding foolish. An outstanding teacher creates a safe environment where you can try, fail, and experiment without fear of judgment. They celebrate small successes, encourage you consistently, and help you recognize your progress—even when it is not yet perfect. Students who once hesitated to speak often find themselves conversing fluently after a few months with the right teacher.
Another crucial factor is commitment. Language learning is a marathon, not a sprint, and it is easy to lose motivation along the way. A teacher who knows how to maintain interest, set realistic goals, celebrate achievements, and tailor lessons to your interests helps you stay on track even when learning becomes challenging. Ultimately, the difference between learners who succeed and those who give up is not talent—it is the teacher guiding them.
How an Excellent Teacher Impacts Your Success:
- Builds confidence – creates a safe space to try and make mistakes
- Maintains motivation – makes each lesson engaging and meaningful
- Identifies weaknesses – pinpoints exactly where improvement is needed
- Personalizes learning – adapts methods and content to what works for you
- Sets realistic goals – helps you understand where you are going and how to get there
- Provides constant encouragement – helps you believe in your ability to succeed
- Delivers effective feedback – corrects mistakes in a way that supports learning
- Creates personal connection – turns lessons into enjoyable interactions
- Inspires – shares a genuine love for the language and its culture
