I had Mark as an ESL teacher at two different occasions over the past few years. Mark's classes were interesting and I find that I have learned a lot in his classes. With his help, I have improved my English grammar and my English oral skills. Mark is a well organized, professional teacher and keeps his students motivated to learn during the class. He finds challenging topics to discuss with his students and interacts well with everyone. He makes everyone confortable and at ease to speak and to ask questions in class. Mark responds well to questions that students have . Mark has a very good knowledge of English grammar and he is able to teach very well. Overall, I am not shy to say that he is the best SLE teacher that I had over the years. Recently, I did recommend him to a coworker to take English lessons with him.

I recently had the pleasure of taking English lessons with Mark and I’m very impressed with his teaching style and the results I achieved.

Mark is extremely patient and supportive, he made me feel at ease during the lessons and he was also very organized and prepared. He is great at providing feedback and corrections in a constructive way which allowed me to make progress quickly.

I highly recommend Mark, I feel so comfortable with him and I look forward to continuing to work with him in the future!

Thank you so much Mark!

Mark was my ESL teacher when I first arrived to Canada, I enjoyed his classes as they were challenging and engaging. He goes above and beyond grammar and language, a class with Mark means discussing current affairs, science, technology and even philosophy! He promotes learning through interaction, he is clear, concise and experienced in cross-cultural communication. Mark was extremely kind, he even provided a letter of recommendation that was pivotal to be accepted in the Communication Studies BA program at Concordia University. I will recommend Mark's classes to those wanting to go the extra mile and truly engage with the English language.

Mark was my English teacher for over six months. I met him as a student in a small group who want to improve their second language. His mindset was very student focus. He was using imagination to keep the interest of the entire group all the time by always addressing the right and good topic during the conversation in class. All his classes were conducted with a high standard of ethics and value.



For students who want to do the extra mile, I can guarantee Mark Stafinski will be there for you. This teacher is driven by a passion for his profession. During class, Mark has exceeded his responsibility as a teacher by changing his approach to everyone in the class in order for every student to improve their full potential. I was personally able to go above and beyond my comfort zone.



I hired Mark Stafinski as my personnel tutor in preparation for my second language for the government exam. With his guidance and his personal approach, I found it easier to understand English grammar. I have significantly improved my comprehension and my speaking

Mark is warm, enthusiastic and professional. He is able to create a welcoming learning environment. One can tell that Mark has his own love of learning and is willing to share what he’s learned. A great teacher !!! I enjoy his classes and was never bored.

Mark was my teacher during my DND PL7 oral English class. He is very passionate, structured, and a super resourceful teacher. During our classes, he took the time to work individually with each student helping us to improve specific weaknesses. I recommend Mark because he is the best English teacher I've ever had.
