About Francisco Marcos
Hi there! I'm Francisco, one of the people most passionate about languages you'll meet in your life :) I started learning foreign languages when I was 18 and after a few years I developed a method that allowed me to become totally fluent in 6 of them in a record time. Most native speakers of the languages I speak have a hard time believing I've never lived in their countries. Not kidding! The languages I speak fluently are Spanish, English, French, German, Italian, Dutch and Portuguese. At the minute I'm studying Polish, the mother of ridiculous grammar rules xD I have developed my own methodology and techniques which fortunately work for my students too!
Teaching style
My method involves discovering and fostering your motivation. Once you combine that with the learning strategy and tools I've developed, you learn at an unbelievable pace. The fact that I've taught myself so many other languages also makes it easier for me to understand what foreign students struggle with and how to explain it in terms that they will understand. I use a lot of media and music, exercises and chats apps to teach.
What students say (76 reviews)
Within 5 minutes I knew I had made the right choice with Francisco. He is a fantastic teacher and I cannot wait to get this journey started.
Francisco is super engaged, takes notes while you're talking and writes out sentences that could be said better or words to use. He also provides exercises aimed at your skill level which gets you thinking and testing your knowledge. Hij is echt een aanrader!
An amazing teacher. So gifted in many languages, which has actually proved to be quite useful because he can make helpful connections to the other languages I speak. A great learning experience. The resources we use are really good, and he is very motivating and encouraging in a kind but also professional way. 10/10. Very worth the financial investment.
What a great first, 30 minute lesson! Francisco was such a warm, amicable guy that you could easily tell has a pure passion for languages. He was able to quickly sense what sort of teaching method would work best for me and afterwards, I felt nothing but confident that my Dutch was gonna skyrocket.
Excellent teacher, highly recommend
Francisco is very nice! I started talking right away which I like so much. Will continue my Dutch journey with him for sure.
