About Me
italki teacher since Dec 4, 2018
Hello, my name is Mary. I was born in England and I am a native English speaker. I would love to be your teacher and to help you improve your language skills. I have an accredited TEFL teaching certificate and I have a lot of experience teaching privately and in the classroom. I also have a Masters degree in Fine Art.
I have traveled extensively and have lived in 3 different countries so I know what it is like to live in a new culture and how challenging it can be to learn a new language. I speak 2 languages, English and French. I can provide you with my expertise to make learning English as fun and smooth as possible.
Me as a Teacher
I like to focus on conversation, pronunciation, and intonation. I also teach grammar and practical, functional phrases that will help you to speak confidently in everyday life situations. I will make my sessions interesting and engaging. I will first assess your level and then offer you highly customized language sessions so that you can talk about the topics of your choice. So, if you are interested in, for example, history, politics, arts, science, cooking, music or cinema, we can discuss whatever it is that interests you. I am knowledgeable in a whole range of subjects and will cater to your personal interests.
My lessons & teaching style
At this time I am accepting A2, lower Intermediate (B1), intermediate, and advanced. So, whether you're lower Intermediate in English or you have a good level and want to improve, I will adapt our sessions to your needs and goals. I am encouraging and patient. I also want to make your time learning a new language fun and engaging. I will help you to bring your language skills up to the next level. I look forward to talking to you. Book a trial session now and let's meet up on Skype soon!

I really recommend having lessons with Mary. I appreciate her choice of topics and relaxed talks about them. Last time we spoke about a marathon running.
