Who I Am
I’m Marcos, an ESL coach with over five years of experience helping adults from around the world sound more natural and confident in English. My background in theatre and anthropology shapes the way I teach, making my lessons expressive, engaging, and culturally aware. I bring warmth, humor, and authenticity into every class. I truly enjoy helping students sound more like native speakers while still sounding like themselves in real-life communication.
How I Teach
As a teacher, I am energetic, supportive, and deeply people-focused. I specialize in pronunciation, speaking confidence, and natural, native-like fluency. My lessons feel more like relaxed discussions than rigid classes, with plenty of laughter, clear guidance, and real conversation. I never shame mistakes because mistakes are how language is built. My goal is for you to feel safe, confident, and excited to use English in your daily life.
My lessons are visual, interactive, and always tailored to your personal goals. I use the whiteboard often to break down sounds, show speech patterns, and make pronunciation feel simple and natural. You can expect real-world English, including natural phrases and everyday slang, along with guided speaking and confidence-building practice. My style is structured but flexible so you feel supported, challenged, and free to express yourself in every class.
