About Mary

I have taught ESL and international examinations such as IELTS and TOEFL for more than 20 years. I have worked for Indian Embassy for several years as an interpreter and attended many international meetings as an interpreter. I hold a Master Degree in Second Language Education (area of expertise: English teaching and translating) +20 years of experience teaching English to: Mainly IELTS and Duolingo candidates Higher Education Institutes Training Centers and Organizations English coaching for professionals in various companies Private lessons: Individuals & Groups / Adults English teaching candidates I started teaching English when I was only 20 and since then I have always tried to upgrade my level and method of teaching and I myself study English daily basis though I have between 8-10 classes a day and a very hectic schedule, I know the value of time and fully understand how some students can hardly manage to get time to do their assignments and practice but surely when there is a will there is a way. As an IELTS instructor, I am always dealing with students who mostly come to me at the last very moment, at most a few months before their test, so I know how to help them overcome the stress and tension of the test and how to manage to get their desired score in a short time. I will be supporting you all through this difficult path more as a friend rather than a teacher. I also hold speaking classes both individually and in form of group free discussion classes in which the only thing I do is giving the chance of speaking to my students. In speaking classes, the aim is improving students' fluency in speaking and the classes are fully student-oriented where I am more a listener than a speaker and the result is amazing. In few weeks, great improvement can be clearly seen in their speaking. I love English translation and interpretation so much and whenever possible I go for that. I have attended at several commercial meetings at different ministries and international fairs. Throughout my career I have helped many people from different nationalities and backgrounds to learn English regardless of their level or age to move to their desired country for studying and working and even teaching English. I have helped them to get ready to settle in English-speaking countries and regain confidence in their ability to express themselves in English. Some of my students are now English teachers in different countries, who knows may be you are the next one. I have prepared several students to pass their exams at school, university and get high score in IELTS and Duolingo and also I have coached many professionals to get prepared for meetings, conferences, presentations and making speech in English. Thank you and I look forward to sharing my passion for English with you!

  • 1) Do you speak this language fluently because of your origins or because a teacher inspired you to learn?

    When I was six, I was sent to an English language school where all my teachers were native speakers, soon I could speak English as well as my mother tongue, and later on in my life, I found myself extremely interested in the process of Second Language Acquisition and I started teaching at the age of 19. I studied for a bachelor's and then a master's (English language teaching) and am planning to do a Ph.D. in the years to come.
  • 2) Can you name a living, historical or fictional character that you think is the emblematic representative of the language's culture?

    The first name that comes to mind is William Shakespeare, an English poet and playwright, who is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language.
  • 3) Is there a typical word, phrase, tradition, or behavior in the language that you particularly like?

    Yes, and that is ambition and being ambitious because this single word gives me the motivation to go further in my career, my life, and anything which needs to be improved - even my character.
  • 4) Why does speaking this language matter to you?

    Firstly, it matters to me as it's my favorite language that is why I am teaching it. Besides, it is an international language that can open new doors and creates opportunities for the ones who are willing to study in the best universities of the world and those in search of a higher standard of living, and teaching English is a way to help others reaching their goals and this is the most rewarding thing to me.
  • 5) What is the main difficulty in learning this language and what can help the process of learning?

    I think the biggest difficulty would be applying and using correct grammar and having the appropriate choice of vocabulary in speaking and writing in English. Besides that in my opinion, learning any language is a lifetime process as once one stops learning a language after a quite short time their efficiency and fluency will gradually decrease.
  • 6) What makes you a Superprof in language?

    I think my qualification, experience, patience, and flexibility are essential parts of being a Superprof and most importantly knowing what to teach and how to teach based on each student's needs, objectives and capabilities make me a real Superprof.
