Mr Mark Tallentire

Contact Mark

I am a TEFL teacher, having passed the Trinity certTESOL qualification recently and can provide lessons based on the required levels of the Macmillan language hub or create bespoke lessons using authentic material if required. Homework is given and marked with feedback at no extra cost.

Tutoring experience

I am a university graduate and have very recent experience of teaching multilingual classes of as many as 12 students on Zoom. Teaching individuals is more beneficial to a student as they get more individual time but either way I am successful

I also have more than 30 years' experience in journalism, the past 25 of them as a sports reporter with the Guardian in London, and can instil and hone the basics to help put any journalism/media studies wannabe on the road to success.

Approach to tutoring

The toughest thing about tutoring from a student's point of view is she or he accepting the fact that extra help may be required. The easiest thing from my point of view as a tutor is helping somebody who wants to succeed to do just that and has asked for my assistance.
