About
Hey there, my name is Marc :)
I am an experienced tutor with a wealth of life experiences. Unlike most new tutors, I have been widely published as a poet, essayist and fiction writer. I am also able to tutor in law, music, mathematics, computing, study technique, and other academic disciplines.
I believe that all learning should be fun and there are numerous ways to make that experience enjoyable, creative and innovative. For that reason, I provide lots of variety in the way I tutor. For my English students, this includes the use of audio books, playing word games, facilitating real-life conversations, and many other ways to have fun with the language. As the author of many writings, I will be happy to share these with you and teach you more about them, including my funny poems, my stories, and anything from my personal collection that I find will help you in your studies.
As your tutor, I will also let you in on my deepest, most secret learnings about life. I have been incarcerated in mental hospitals and police watchhouses on more than 20 occasions, and have plenty of amazing stories to tell. As a defender of the most vulnerable in our community, I am a passionate animal-rights activist with a large-scale social media presence of more than 1500 followers and, as a volunteer for the Animal Justice Party, a reach of more than 11,000 followers.
As my student, you will be encouraged to think creatively and expansively. I will work with you to get your best work published, if that is one of your ambitions, and encourage you to make a career out of something that you are truly passionate about. I can also support you in creating your own social media presence and building up an audience.
I provide free, valuable life advice and sometimes write and send all students a newsletter with important ideas and inspirations for your learning journeys.
To learn more about me, please make an enquiry. I look forward to meeting you!
