Hi. I'm Mark, PhD(c) in English language and literature, native English teacher. I passed DELTA and CELTA Cambridge exams which qualifies me as a professional exam instructor.

If you want to learn English in ways that are Fun, Simple and Easy to Understand, then schedule a class with me!

American English, as we know, is the universal language in business communications and travel throughout the world. However, learning this great language can seem incredibly difficult and frustrating. For the last 7 years, I have been preparing students for ETS exams such as: TOEFL, TOEIC, all CAMBRIDGE exams such as: IELTS, CAE, FCE, Flyers, Movers, etc, and all school or university exams from first grade of elementary school up to Master's degree exams at the university. Moreover, I have been teaching my students special technique how to develop their oral English speaking ability, how to think fast and use the vocabulary, phrases and grammar efficiently while speaking, and how to never forget what they have learned. I have all materials needed for any exam student wants to take. 

My specialties include:

• Pronunciation: How do we REALLY pronounce words?
• Comprehension (Thinking in English)
• Focusing on each student's actual needs
• Making the "learning part" fun!
• Vocabulary expertise: Phrasal Verbs, Expressions, Industry-Specific words for your Career

I share the tools and tricks that I have developed over the years to make things like Pronunciation and Phrasal Verbs finally make sense!

We will have various types of classes, depending on YOUR needs and current focus, such as:

• Reading and discussing articles
• Conversational classes
• Mock interviews or other business meetings
• Working on: Presentations, Speeches, etc.

I always present new materials during the lesson, I teach during the whole class, but giving you a lot of time to speak. I immediately correct student's pronunciation, grammar, contruction or any mistake while speaking. Furthermore, I collect the mistakes, and I work on student's weaknesses during the whole course. I give feedbacks, homeworks, and I help my students review the whole lesson in the end of it. Therefore, students always remember what they practice with me.

Dear student, I hope my qualifications and knowledge will help you pass the exam you want or improve your English speaking, reading, listening and writing abilities. I have all materials needed for any exam you are about to take.
