About Me
italki teacher since Mar 24, 2022InterestsMarketingArtFilms & TV SeriesGamingBusiness & Finance
Iβm from both the city π and suburbs π‘ of New York π½. I began teaching English π after moving to Saint Petersburg, Russia π·πΊ, where I spent several years helping students, both in person π₯ and online π». Now, I work from home π , guiding people π« around the world π to communicate π£ more effectively in English.
Beyond work, I pursue my passions β€οΈ. I enjoy doing voiceover work π, acting in theater π, and appearing in films π¬. My hobbies include playing chess β, going for walks πΆββοΈ, savoring good coffee β, and spending quality time with friends π and family π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦.
*I currently am on tour as an actor in the west coast so my availability is limited but will open up soon.Me as a Teacher
I focus on a practical approach to teaching π that uses real-life situations π and authentic materials π. This helps you improve communication skills π£ while also learning about interesting topics π§ . We might use news articles π°, everyday tasks π¬, and subject-specific content π§ͺπ¨ to make learning English more meaningful and relevant to you π.My lessons & teaching style
I believe π€ that the classroom π« is where active learning π§ happens. You might do some prep work π before our lesson so we can make the most of our time together β³. Before class, youβll get a first look π at new language or a video πΊ, which helps us jump right into using new language π£ and having fun π!
I also have lots of activities π and materials π for:
Conversations, speaking, & discussions π£π¬
Vocabulary terms and phrases πβ¨
Listening practice π§
Phrasal verbs, grammar points, & prepositions ππ

I can't say enough good things about Michael! The classes were an amazing blend of fun and education. But what really stood out is that he played a pivotal role in helping me achieve a score of 9 on my CELPIP exam. His teaching methods are incredibly effective, and I genuinely enjoyed every session. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor on my language-learning journey!

I had the pleasure of working with Michael as my tutor, and his guidance has been incredibly valuable. Michael has a unique ability to break down complex topics into simple, actionable steps, making even the most challenging concepts easy to understand. His structured approach to teaching, combined with practical advice and tailored feedback, has helped me improve not only my technical English skills but also my confidence in professional communication.
He provides real-world examples, clear sentence starters, and effective grammar corrections that are directly applicable to my role as a Senior Systems Analyst. His attention to detail and encouragement made every session insightful and productive. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking to enhance their professional skills in a supportive and engaging environment.
