Marina L Mckechnie

Hello! I’m Marina – your friendly and flexible English tutor/support counsellor.

I’m a native English and Italian speaker, Spanish mother and I have lived in 9 different countries, whilst raising a family and being proactive towards the world we live in.

I have a background in education, psychology, and multilingual communication, specifically in conversational English, helping learners feel confident, fluent, and relaxed while speaking.

Whether you’re preparing for a trip, a job interview, or just want to improve your everyday communication, I can help you:

• Speak more naturally and clearly

• Expand your vocabulary and expressions

• Gain confidence in real-life situations

• Understand cultural nuances and pronunciation tips

I’ve worked with students from Italy, Spain, Brazil, and Japan – and I speak five languages myself, so I understand the challenges of learning and expressing yourself in a new tongue.

My sessions are always student-focused, informal, and adapted to your goals as each individual is unique.

I also bring my knowledge of psychology into our lessons to make sure you always feel supported and encouraged.

I offer part-time, flexible scheduling – mornings, evenings, or weekends, all online. Whether you want structured lessons or just a friendly chat in English, I’m here to help!

Looking forward to meeting you and starting your journey toward confident English conversation.
Never too old, never too wise, never too late! Everyone can meet their goals with the right mindset and support
PS THIS IS ALSO A SAFE SPACE FOR ANYONE WHO FEELS OVERWHELMED OR DOES NOT FIT IN!!!
