Experienced professional English teacher for improving English speech, writing, and test prep!

I found Mark on Italki in 2023 while searching for an English tutor, and never looked back since then! I was initially on the lookout for someone with a real personality, serious attitude, and who would just simply be fun to talk to (I know one's not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but hey, that's what we all have to do anyway, haven't we?), and so after scrolling through a dozen pages of cookie-cutter videos neither of which clicked, I figured I got really lucky the moment i got to Mark's video. Two years in now, it's still as great as it was from the outset to practice English with Mark: fun, engaging, deep when it needs to be, and as deep as you want it to be. Mark has helped me write songs in English, discover a bunch of great books, films and music artists I wouldn't otherwise discover, and we are always having a good laugh together, learning a ton in the process. I never really needed anything like a job interview prep or any kind of "English for Business"-type lessons, because with Mark my vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and everything else, just evolved naturally to the point where I can easily crack anything of that nature that my industry throws at me, without touching ChatGPT once (which seems like "what kids do these days" a lot, at least in my part of the world). Bottomline: Mark is a fabulous English tutor, can't recommend him enough.

I'm a retired middle school Language Arts teacher who earned a bachelor's degree in Education and a master's degree in Public Administration. Although we have never met face-to-face, Mark Stewart and I have been Facebook friends for ten years. He may be the best-informed of my Facebook friends, and his commitments to mutual respect, compassion, and fairness are readily apparent in the content of his posts, all accompanied by his thoughtfully-composed and articulately-expressed explanatory texts. My conclusions about Mark Stewart are that he is an energetic and intelligent person who has an evolved view of and a caring approach toward his fellow humans.

I've known Mark for several years, and he is a person of integrity, honesty, and character. And he has a great sense of humor! He is a patient and kind human being, and I highly recommend him for anyone needing language tutoring!!!

Marks responses are well thought out, timely, and accurate. His skills and abilities match his enthusiasm and desire to help others. I offer this unsolicited recordation unequivocally.

I got to know Mark through friends online.
He is a Superprof in his ability to understand literature, refer to it accurately, and use it well in all manner of contexts. I feel I am in a good position to evaluate this as I have an Honours degree in literature myself.
I would recommend him because he is also remarkable for his caring, kindness and consistency. He pays attention, listens to others and responds to them in a manner I have not seen in anyone else I know. He is really special.

Mark and I have been corresponding daily on social media for nearly half a dozen years.
His writing style is consistently concise, direct, and to the point.
Those are the qualities that a teacher must have to teach language and writing skills to others.

Mark is articulate, well-informed and helpful. Always concerned about others and non-judgemental in his approach to life's adventures, if I needed his services for my children, I would not hesitate to engage him.
Thank you.

I had the opportunity to have Mark as a teacher and I can honestly say he is great. He is passionate about what he does and makes sure you get help when needed. A professional with a great attitude and personality.
