I'm very happy to have met Marc. At first, I felt very shy about speaking Spanish, but he made the classes fun to learn and helped me gain confidence. He is very patient — I can ask him all the questions I have in mind, and he always answers patiently. I really appreciate him. Anyone who has the chance to take classes with him is very lucky. Thank you so much, Marc!!!

I’ve had quite a few Spanish teachers on and off over the last year or so, and I can confidently say that since starting weekly classes with Marc, my Spanish has improved quicker than ever before For me, the best thing about Marc’s lessons is that he tailors them to your learning style and interests. I mentioned early on that my main goal is improving my conversational skills and fluidity, rather than written comprehension. Knowing this, Marc focuses on teaching and improving my grammar, sentence structure, expression etc within context (ie. through our conversations, rather than with worksheets), which works really well for me. We also mostly talk about topics I’m actually interested in and would talk about in my real life, as opposed to some teachers who insist on teaching specific vocabulary/topics according to a textbook. Marc is responsive, punctual, patient, and most importantly, super-friendly. Not only have his lessons helped me improve my grammar, vocabulary etc. but also my confidence while speaking Spanish. I highly recommend starting lessons with Marc ASAP - you won’t regret it 🙂

Marc makes every lesson enjoyable, clear, and easy to follow. His passion for teaching really shows, and he always explains things in a way that makes learning natural and fun. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve deepened my understanding of the language and gained much more confidence when speaking. Each class helps me improve my fluency and express myself better in real conversations. I’m truly grateful for his patience, positivity, and support 🙂

I moved to Barcelona a while back, and everyone says that my Catalan is impeccable. Honestly, that’s all thanks to Marc! He’s not just a teacher, he’s patient, supportive, and genuinely passionate about helping his students improve.
During our classes, Marc covered everything: comprehension, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and expression, both oral and written.
From A1 to C1, Marc was there for me through every doubt I had, every essay I wrote, and every conversation we practiced.
Marc is by far the best teacher I’ve ever had, dedicated, and full of positive energy.
Marc makes the lessons really enjoyable and easy to understand. His passion for teaching is evident and I have deepened my knowledge of the language. I am able to practice my conversational skills and it has improved so much!

I’m Japanese, and I started learning Catalan because I wanted to be able to communicate with my Catalan husband’s family.
Since I began taking classes with Marc, my Catalan has improved a lot! During the lessons, Marc speaks mostly in Catalan and makes sure to speak slowly enough for me to understand. Whenever there’s a word I don’t know, he translates it into English and also gives me useful tips on how to remember it. Thanks to our conversations, I can really feel my progress each time.
We always talk about topics that interest me, so the 45-minute lessons go by so quickly! When I try to explain what’s been happening in my daily life in Catalan, Marc gives me hints and teaches me the words I need to express myself.
He also gives me a good balance of homework — listening, grammar, and other exercises — at my own pace. Doing the homework helps me review what we’ve studied, and I actually enjoy it!
Every time I go back to Barcelona with my husband, I can tell I’ve improved. Recently, I even went to a restaurant alone and did everything — from ordering to paying — in Catalan. I also went shopping and used new words I’d learned to ask the shop staff about sizes, colors, and different styles of clothes. One of them was surprised and said, “Why can you speak Catalan!?” — it made me so happy!
Marc also has a Japanese wife, so he understands Japanese culture very well. He often shares interesting facts about Catalonia — its history, culture, and everyday life — so I feel like I’m not only learning the language, but also truly understanding the Catalan way of life. It’s been really helpful and inspiring.
He’s a very skilled and professional teacher, and I feel so lucky to be learning Catalan from him.
Thank you so much, Marc!
