Acerca de mí
Profesor de italki desde 8 de Jan de 2014Tema de interésViajesTecnologíaJuegos
¡Hola! Hello, Premium Language Instruction. Advanced Certified Teacher and Translator with over 20 years experience. 16 years living in Latin America. 10 years online. Domino el español. Let's get started! My interests have always been in language, travel and outdoor sports, but I like learning new completely random things that have nothing to do with my main interests. I like science and wildlife. I was born and raised in New Jersey, in the northeast of the United States of America. I'm probably a bit more excited about language than even my students are. I hope it rubs off on them.Mostrar traducción
Yo como profesor
I focus on what will work best for my student. Should I speak slowly, quickly, make the subject matter easy or challenging. Importantly, what does the student want from the class. That's what I try to do. I never thought I would become a teacher. Since I was 18 years old I started tutoring and then one after another opportunity came up in which I found myself teaching. I realized that I loved teaching. Since I didn't go through the normal route to get a teaching certificate in college, when I finally did start teaching I put a lot of pressure on myself to be the best teacher I could be and to really reach my students. That is how I work.Mis clases y método de enseñanza
My classes are private, so I try to customize the class for each student and to identify their needs. It actually takes a few classes to do this, which is difficult because the student usually expects you to figure it out quickly. I try to help each person to reach their language goals of fluency and to give them the skills to be a better language learner so that they aren't dependent upon me or any other teacher or material. My main goal is for the student to speak 80% of the time in class.Mi material didáctico

By providing visual examples to me, Mark helped reduce my English accent while speaking Spanish so much, much more than anyone ever has over the last 50 years!

Mark is an excellent teacher! I have only had a couple of lessons so far, but he has helped me with my pronunciation a lot. I also like the fact that he tells me how spanish speakers really say something rather than letting me continue say something I think is correct from a textbook. He is very patient and supportive. I would definitely recommend him as a teacher.
