Onil Ganguly

Production and Content Manager @ Mediterráneo Media Entertainment

I met Marcos when he was attending the New England School of English and we were matched up as Language Exchange Partners. He always attended our weekly meetings with focus and determination to learning. Marcos is diligent in his pursuit of fluency in English, and he achieved that in record time. His enthusiasm for language exchange and encouragement to me to improve my Spanish was palpable. I have no doubt that he is committed to challenging his students to excellence.

Terry Moynahan

I had the pleasure of sharing with Marcos the 13th edition of the Diploma in Teaching Methodology and the Spanish as a Foreign Language as classmate. Undoubtedly, after the time we shared in which both grew up in a professional and personal level, I can say Marcos' teaching quality is undeniable and his skills as ELE (SSL) teacher in any culture and language environment are unquestionable.
