Hello! My name is Micah, and I’m passionate about languages and helping students achieve their learning goals. I specialize in pronunciation and accent training, using my background in linguistics—particularly phonetics and phonology—to create personalized lessons tailored to each student's native language.
With several years of experience teaching and tutoring Latin, Classical Greek, and English, I understand the challenges of mastering a new language. Whether you're looking to refine your pronunciation, gain confidence in speaking, or develop a more natural accent, I will help you achieve your goals with a research-based, customized approach!Me as a Teacher
I believe language learning should be immersive, structured, and enjoyable. With my background in linguistics, teaching, and tutoring, I customize each lesson to fit your unique needs—whether you're a beginner seeking to build a strong foundation or an advanced learner refining pronunciation and fluency.
My approach is student-centered and research-based, emphasizing clear explanations, contextual learning, and active engagement. I focus on helping you speak with confidence by tailoring lessons to your native language, making each session both productive and enjoyable.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons focus on practical language use, helping students build confidence and fluency. I tailor each session to your goals, whether you want to improve:
✅ Pronunciation & accent
✅ Speaking confidence
✅ Reading comprehension
✅ Grammar & structure
For English, I combine structured learning with natural conversation, adapting to your level and interests. My pronunciation training is customized to your native language using linguistics-based techniques. For Latin and Greek, I primarily use the reading method in conjunction with the grammar-translation approach. I strive to create a supportive, engaging space to help you succeed!Teaching experience
