Quang Minh (Marcus) Nguyen

Stop simply learning English. Start using the key.

I fundamentally believe that language is not a subject, it is the master key to knowledge, insight, and career opportunities. English is your doorway to the world's best resources, global conversations, and professional advancement. My mission isn't just to teach you grammar; it’s to equip you with the practical communication skills needed to fully access everything life has to offer.

Ready to open your doors to the world?

I specialize in moving students from theoretical knowledge to real-world application, focusing on efficiency and measurable results. I have a demonstrated history of driving significant score increases in short periods (e.g., 4.0 to 5.5 in 2 months; 6.5 to 7.5 in 7 months). I spent two years teaching General and Communicative English, mastering techniques to build fluency and confidence in daily conversation. As a current Masters degree student in Manchester, UK, and a three-time IELTS 7.5 scorer, my lessons are informed by advanced academic standards and current, practical UK usage.

What Our Lessons Look Like?

My lessons are flexible, dynamic, and intensely goal-oriented, always focusing on practical application across the four core competencies:
- Reading skill: I treat reading as an exercise in both academic mastery and global awareness. While I utilize IELTS Academic Reading materials to build strong comprehension and test competency, I also balance this with practical exposure to daily newspapers, reports, and high-level articles. This ensures you can confidently navigate complex texts, whether for a test or for accessing professional knowledge.
- Listening skill: I always want to move beyond traditional listening exercises. Instead of focusing on simple comprehension tests, we dive into interactive methods such as transcripting and movie summaries. This approach sharpens your ability to process fast, natural speech, catch nuance, and synthesize information, the real-world skills needed for global communication.
- Speaking skill: Speaking expertise is built around developing both mechanics and mastery. You'll learn essential tools like the IPA to refine your pronunciation and intonation, alongside a focus on mastering commonly used phrases. The core of the lesson is insightful discussions on real-life topics, debates, and pitching spaces, giving you crucial practice in articulating complex ideas clearly and persuasively.
- And finally, Writing: Writing activities are designed for continuous improvement and structured output. Every class concludes with a short reflective writing piece to consolidate learning and ensure internalization. We also dedicate time to academic writing, focusing on developing well-constructed arguments, mastering various structures, and refining your ideation process so you can produce clear, impactful, and coherent formal texts.
