Hello!

Hello! I'm Tutor Martyn from the UK. I have been teaching English since 2008 - in classrooms, workplaces, and online. I've taught all ages, all levels, and many different nationalities. I have also taught science and geography at high school level. I love travelling, cooking, playing the guitar / drums, and reading (or watching a good movie if I'm tired). I adore animals, and have a keen interest in environmental issues. I hope to see you soon!

I love travelling, and have travelled extensively around Europe, and South - South-East Asia. When at home, my favourite pastime is cooking, and making things like jams, pickles, and baking bread. I also play the guitar and drums, and have been in bands since I was twelve. I like action-adventure movies and comedy movies, but in contrast, I read serious novels. I'm crazy about animals (especially cats), and spend a ridiculous amount of time talking to anything with fur, feathers, scales or even an exoskeleton.

Teaching Style

Having struggled to teach myself two languages (Greek and Thai), I know the importance of having a patient, friendly and empathetic teacher. I can be the energetic class-clown to attract the attention of younger learners, or the academic, professorial figure for mature, advanced students. Whatever the situation, I always like to inject some humour into the class, whilst maintaining the primary aim of educating.
