Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 28. Oct 2015Thema von InteresseTechWissenschaftFinanzenUmwelt & NaturSport
Welcome to my teacher profile! I'm a 30-year-old native speaker from Brighton in the UK. I'd love to welcome you to a Topic Discussion for a relaxed chat about any topic you like :)
I'm CELTA qualified and I have 9 years of teaching experience. Most of this time I have been working one-to-one with students like you on italki. I've also taught on summer camps and in English schools in Oxford in the UK, and for 2 years in China, delivering lessons to students of all ages including beginner, intermediate and advanced students.
I love to spend time outside in the sun, wind, and rain, I like to keep healthy and energetic by practicing sports and martial arts, and I love learning new things.Ich als Lehrkraft
In our classes we will explore topics and language functions which are interesting and useful to you, and I will use a lexical approach to teach you new language by focusing on its meaning in context. I will help you practice listening and reading strategies to allow you to communicate about any topic, whatever your current level of English.
I'm very passionate about my own learning, and I am interested in how learning is changing in the 21st century. It is important to learn how to study effectively by yourself, so as your teacher I will coach you to become a better learner and I will provide you with useful resources, websites and apps to help you study more efficiently.Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My teaching style is all about having fun; if you aren't enjoying your classes, then you probably aren't learning very much! I enjoy the interesting conversations I have with my students, and I take a personal interest in helping you improve so that you can communicate more correctly, confidently, and fluently in English.
I believe that careful lesson planning is a very important part of teaching so you can trust me to always provide the most interesting and relevant teaching materials that challenge you, help you to improve, and encourage you to express your own thoughts and opinions.
If you are away from home, I am happy for you to use a smartphone to join our classes.Zeugnisse

extremely useful lesson, as usual!
A very knowledgeable teacher, gives lots of examples of the vocabulary I’m interested in. He has an eye for tiny differences between advanced speaking and AUTHENTIC advanced speaking.
highly recommend

Michael always guides me in using precise words to describe what I want to convey, and provides me with plenty of directions and resources for self-study after the class.

Michael is my favorite teacher on italki because he is always well-prepared and patient. I never feel pressured during his lessons, yet I've noticed significant improvement after taking classes with him for a while.

It was a positive experience again and a very useful class. Michael is highly professional as usual. We aligned my objectives with available classes structure and materials, talked about Chat GPT prompts, and practiced some expressions in examples to talk like a native speaker. Honestly, Michael, is a really good tutor.
