Marcus Bell

About Marcus

I work with engineers, analysts and managers who are good at their jobs in their own language and want to sound just as sharp in English — in meetings, on calls with US clients, and in interviews.

I spent six years in corporate finance before moving into teaching, so we practise with the documents and situations you actually face: stand-ups, quarterly reviews, salary conversations.

Why this works: Uses his previous career as a credential. Specific job situations (stand-ups, quarterly reviews) make the profile feel real and relevant to professionals.

Qualifications

• CELTACambridge Assessment English
• Illinois Professional Educator LicenseEnglish as a Second Language endorsement
• MBALoyola University Chicago

Why this works: Lists the full name and awarding body of each qualification. On a real profile, these show a Verified badge once we have checked your certificates — usually within one working day.

Specialisms and levels

• Business English
• Presentations
• Job interviews
• Negotiation

Levels taught

• A1Beginner
• A2Elementary
• B1Intermediate
• B2Upper-int.
• C1Advanced
• C2Proficiency

Why this works: Four focused specialisms beat ten vague ones. Learners filter the directory by subject and level, so precise choices put you in front of the right students.

What your first lesson looks like

1. We map the three English situations that matter most in your job.
2. You run a five-minute mock meeting or pitch and I record it.
3. You get a feedback sheet with ten phrases to replace and two habits to fix.

Why this works: A concrete deliverable from the first lesson (a feedback sheet) shows value before the learner has committed to a package.
