About Me
italki teacher since May 12, 2018
Hi, I’m Mary. I’m a friendly, outgoing and passionate English teacher originally from England and now living in Asia. I am a native English speaker and I hold a degree in English Literature from Durham University. I have three years’ experience of teaching English as a foreign language in a Senior High School in Japan, as well as three years’ experience of teaching private conversation classes to people of all ages and backgrounds. I also hold a professional qualification in business and have over ten years’ experience of working in business in London.
Me as a Teacher
**Please note that my classes for children/teenagers are currently full**
I strive to be creative and energetic in my lessons in order to bring the English language to life. My mantra is ‘ESID’ (Every Student Is Different); no two students are the same and that’s why we discuss exactly what you want to achieve in the trial lesson.
I’d love to talk to you to find out more about what you are looking for. You can book a trial lesson below and we can discuss your goals and preferences and then we will begin the journey of reaching them!
I hold three main types of sessions, as detailed below.
My lessons & teaching style
Informal Conversation: Pick a topic of your choice and we’ll explore the topic together to improve your fluency.
Structured Lesson: Firstly, I’ll check your current level of English with a quick test. Don’t worry, it’s not a scary test, it just helps us identify your starting point so that we can measure your progress. Then, using this information, we’ll create a targeted plan of lessons just for you, using PDF worksheets as well as a host of other real-life resources!
Business English: Need help with your CV/resume or for an interview/presentation? Need to improve your sector or technical vocabulary? No problem, just book a trial lesson and we’ll design a session just for you!

Mary is an intelligent and brilliantly skillful teacher. She is not only very dedicated and committed but also an exceptionally likeable person, so that lessons with her are always extremely enjoyable and very helpful. I really appreciate the work and effort she puts into our lessons, and I look forward to working more with her in the near future.
