Want to Learn English?
Today – more than ever – English is key to being successful in a highly competitive environment.
Learning English is much more than learning words, it is culture, eloquence, understanding and most importantly speaking the language like a native, with the confidence that teaches you the spoken interpretation of English, not just dictionary meanings.
To speak English, it is imperative to think in English, and not to merely translate your native language to English. This is my intention for you. Specialising in teaching English at all levels and ages enables me to create a fun learning experience for my students through conversational based language acquisition.
Having attained a perfect score on TOEFL I can help you reach your TOEFL, GMAT & IELTS (General – Immigration & Academic – University application) goals with guaranteed results. I have prepared more than 300 students for the GMAT test, ie: Analytical Writing Assessment, Integrated Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning. I have taught TOEFL prep courses to over 700 students. Over 600 of these students have achieved a band score of 110+ scores. In addition, I have taught IELTS prep courses to over 1000 students. Over 600 of these students have achieved a band score of 8-9 (especially in writing and speaking), with over 180 of these students achieving their desired band score. And Your first attempt should be your last attempt. In this course, I will use original material (which will be shared with you) and I will provide strategies on how to answer step by step each section of the TOEFL and IELTS tests, i.e.: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking with a focus on the section you have the most difficulties with. You’ll receive instant feedback from me, and I will evaluate your progress over time. Additionally, I will mark your task 1 and 2 writings and grade them. The number of lessons I suggest after the trial lesson depends on your current level of English and the score you would like to achieve. Please ask me any more questions you might have. All lessons are conducted online and can be done on the Preply platform. I would love the opportunity of being your designated English Tutor.
However, if you are not fluent or have never spoken English before, do not fear, help is near. In fact, that is a great reason to be here. Just be ready to talk about your favourite topics. Through conversational language-based acquisition, all my lessons are tailored to your specific requirements. You will get powerful and effective classes with lots of tips and suggestions for improving your English. Improve your conversational technique with social dynamics, improved meeting performance, writing emails, writing resumes, reports, and even interview skills.
As a native English speaker, I can certainly assist you with all your English requirements, from Business English & presentations to public speaking to writing (proofreading/editing including feedback), grammar (Collocations and Idioms/phrases), intonation, pronunciation & enunciation and help you increase your lexical resource/vocabulary (synonyms/antonyms etc.) through fun interactive conversation. I am also able to assist you with your job interviews. With all original material (which will be shared with you) you will be speaking English (on an interesting range of topics) confidently in no time at all. With a neutral accent, I can assist with accent reduction too. I have a master’s degree in IT and Strategic Management in addition to a wealth of Marketing & Communications experience and as a CEO I have sat through many interviews and candidate deliberations. I would certainly love to help you with your interview preparation. Many of my students have referred to me as the interview specialist. I can assist with CV / Resume and cover letter preparation (analyse your responses over common interview questions/situational questions/behavioural questions and job-specific questions and then guide you to perform your best in an interview. I can assuredly help you reach your goals, in this case, successfully landing the job that you have applied for.
With an innate love of travel, I have had the pleasure of various interactions with people from almost all over the world. I love meeting new people and would never want the language to be a barrier. I love languages. I love meeting new interesting people. And I’m passionate about helping other people learn new things.
I understand the difficulties of learning a new language. I am learning Spanish now - it makes me very patient knowing the avdersities experienced first-hand.
I have been tutoring for over 20 years. Once you have booked your trial lesson, I will give you a pre-lesson test to complete to ascertain exactly what level you are on. This information will help me prepare a tailored lesson just for you based on your individual requirements as well as determine the teaching style you are most productive in and comfortable with. I am available for lessons anytime you are ready to learn. I can assure you that you will have my full dedication and commitment until we have reached your goals.

Marienita was amazing in helping me prepare for the TOEFL iBT writing section! She gave me tons of great advice and was super patient throughout. Our sessions were always friendly and smooth, which made learning so much easier. Thanks to her, I feel much more confident in my writing. Highly recommend her!Laura

I paid for a week of classes with Marienita, enough time for an objective opinion. I have had more than 5 English teachers, so in my experience Marienita is a good teacher, however, she did not meet my expectations for IELTS preparation training, I felt He wanted to rebook and schedule more lessons without listening to my requests, sometimes I felt like he was talking about his personal life and his personal opinions, good for my listening, however he didn't focus on what my weaknesses were like my speaking, I feel like he didn't have a proper guide and materials so I feel wasted time and she needs more active listening!Noemie

Marienita is very specific and organized in her teaching method. She explains very well and with a lot of details. This is why sometimes she takes a lot of time to explain one topic, but at least you understand everything.Hilal
