About Me

italki teacher since May 18, 2020

Hi there ! My name is Martin. I am a graduated teacher of English. I have been living in France for more than 12 years now. I love teaching and learning new things all the time ! I try to be as dynamic and enthusiastic as possible in every lesson I teach. I love teaching children as well as adults. Everyone has its own way of learning and I really enjoy connecting with people and trying to understand what their language needs are and catering for those ! =) My lessons are based on real life, real things, everyday language, idioms, expressions, casual conversations as well as grammatically correct language. I feel very passionate about language and the process of learning it

Martin is a good teacher. He is engaging, personable, & energetic. I gave him the areas I needed help with so he adjusted the lesson to fit my needs. He provided correction when needed as well as positive feedback.

Aunque la plataforma de Italki no funcionó adecuadamente, él buscó la forma de continuar con la clase via Skype. El unico detalle es que los audios de listening no se escuchan bien.
