Over the years I have helped numerous students to achieve their goals.
They have reached very high scores on the IELTS, TOEFL, FCE, CAE and CPE.
Many have migrated to other countries, obtained positions in universities and been promoted in their jobs.
Please see my students' feedback.
I grew up in the USA.
I only teach adults. I do not teach children or teenagers.Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching English for 36 years and throughout that time I have developed a practical understanding of how to help students to achieve their goals in a realistic manner.
I believe input is extremely important. Students learn a language by listening and reading. I help them by selecting the right level of input and by analysing this input so that they can understand and learn the vocabulary and grammar in it. The input is provided by a textbook at the right level, after careful testing, to optimize learning and acquisition.
I also focus on speaking, pronunciation, fluency and writing.
Consolidation of learning is provided through revision exercises.My lessons & teaching style
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 trial lesson to determine their level, so that I can choose the most suitable book for their lessons.My teaching material

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.
