About Me

I am obsessed with languages and the many, beautiful ways that people communicate. I also consider myself an effective teacher, in the sense that I adapt my approach to fit a wide range of student needs and learning styles.

I am fluent in North American English, Portuguese and Spanish. I am located in the Catalunya region of Spain. If there is one thing I have learned it's that traveling is the very best way to absorb a language. No matter how effective a teacher may be, consistent, real-life exposure to the language is the way to learn it. If I had never spent time in Brazil, I would have never attained my present-day fluency in Portuguese. Since arriving in Spain (2017), I have become fluent in both Castellano and Catalan!

Aside from teaching English, I also tutor for the SAT and TOEFL exams. I'm an avid tennis player (PTR-certified tennis instructor) and competitive road cyclist. I've completed three Chicago Marathons and qualified for the Boston Marathon.

The main goals of my teaching program are to build a learning foundation in students and to empower them to learn on their own.

Feel free to reach out anytime with questions or concerns. I look forward to coaching you!

Yours,
M

My son, Zack found Marton very easy to work with and thoroughly enjoyed the lesson. Zack is sitting the SAT in September. Marton was happy to provide help with more than just the SAT agreeing to read his personal statement. Highly recommended.

The focus of this class is to give the students the tools they need to speak the English language with confidence and fluidity. It aims to attend to the responses of the question: "What are my weaknesses when I try to communicate in English?" My goal is to provide challenging, interactive and FUN lessons and activities that all attend to the student's particular experiences and needs. Some of the students I have had the pleasure to work with include: - Doctors who travel internationally for work - Students needing a tutor for the Cambridge exams - Individuals who do public speaking. - Small companies and start ups who do business abroad - Adults who simply want to improve grammar I assign homework activities and periodic progress reports via Google Docs. We utilize audio/visual and reading material found online, so having a smartphone or tablet in class is helpful, but not required. If you want to get speaking NOW then this class may be

⭐️ ⭐️ What my Class is like ⭐️ ⭐️ • First class I will have a conversation about what YOU need to learn better. Every class is designed differently for different students. • I take notes about our conversation: I make notes about your: +Pronunciation +Grammar 📝 +Fluency/ Speaking speed 🗣️ +Listening 👂 ++ Confidence using English 😎 •I have a variety of books and materials FREE of charge available to my students. Most of my classes run longer than 1 hour or 1.5 hours and I’m fine with teaching longer! If you need to start from the beginning, improve your English for conversation, pass a visa interview for an English speaking country, become IELTS or TOEIC, or learn English for business or pleasure- I have over a decade of experience. 🌟” Why choose Mr. Rhett?” I always loved learning languages! I’ve studied German, Latin, Spanish, and Vietnamese- I understand how HARD IT IS TO LEARN ANOTHER LANGUAGE! Yes, it’s hard! But I’ve been using a dynamic method to make learning FUN 🤩. •I’ve been teaching English since volunteering in high school teaching immigrants English as a second language. • Every student has a different way of learning and different needs and I’ve mastered how to identify a student’s needs. • I use don’t just use a book and say “repeat!”like in school that makes even the best student get bored 🥱. • Depending on how a student learns: I use videos and audio of real world English speaking situations. • I’ve taught in Vietnam 🇻🇳 for 8 years in English centers, international schools, visa interview preparation, and TOEIC/IELTS prep classes. This has showed me the importance of learning how each student learn is different. And this experience has made me a very dynamic tutor with very satisfied students! 🧑🏻‍🎓 👨🏻‍🎓 👩🏻‍🎓 I realized the best way to teach is so my students feel relaxed and comfortable so it doesn’t feel like a class.
