I'm a native English speaking teacher from Britain who has recently returned, with my family, from working in Russia, where I spent over 7 years. I have two young boys who entertain me whenever I'm not working. I enjoy travel, sports and reading. Whilst living in Russia I learnt Russian to an intermediate level, this skill helps me to better understand the problems that learners have, and to therefore overcome these problems. I've been working as a teacher since 2010, I hold a CELTA qualification. Due to my experience as a teacher I have the answer to almost any question that you might have about English. I've spent most of my teaching career in Russia, however, since late 2019 I have been back in the UK, much of the time working at the University of Leeds teaching English for Academic Purposes, preparing international students to start a Master's programme. In 2020 I have also been studying, and I now hold DELTA Module 1. I'm an open, friendly teacher, I try to ensure that there's a combination of grammar, vocabulary and conversations in my lessons, to improve both fluency and accuracy.

Mark is an experienced, encouraging, easygoing teacher. Fun and friendly way of learning. His explanations of grammar points are easy to understand.

A good lesson. Today we conversed, for example about wisdom of children stories and how lyrics stick or not to grammar rules. Also a good chance to pick up some new vocabulary.

A nice conversation session. As always friendly and without stress. Today we spoke about farming, building houses and going to the gym.

The lesson took place in form of a friendly conversation. Mark let me correct my grammar mistakes rather than give the answer. Thank you and see you next time.

Более чем доволен уроками Марка. Занятия проходят в непринужденной обстановке; интересный собеседник. Доходчиво объясняет ошибки и грамматические нюансы, видимо не в последнюю очередь благодаря тому, что жил в России.
