If you want to improve your writing skills, you should definitely choose Mike. First, Mike makes well-organized lessons. This "well-organized" has two meanings. The first one is the efficient use of 60-minute classes. The structure repeats each lesson so I become comfortable with what will happen in the class. The other one is that my mind is more organized after the lesson, so that I understand clearly. I'm thinking that it is well-designed to study one subject in small sections. Secondly, Mike is a well-prepared teacher. He makes original text, and it's well thought out. It was easy to learn from Mike, though usually learning tense grammar was complicated. This is just one example among many. Thirdly, Mike is a well-experienced teacher. I think he learned many things from his fantastic teaching career. One of the things that should be noted is his communication skills. Supposing you decide to take lessons from Mike, he'll provide you with an exciting writing study journey.

Mike is a easy going person. He cares the student needs and he would answer the question whatever you want to figure out. You feel comfortable and relax when taking class with him. You could expect from him with a meticulous material preparation for the lesson, homework, and following document after the class. Thank you Mike, My pleasure to be your student.

I have been studied with Mike for half a year now, and it’s really a pleasure to say that Mike is a great teacher! He is kind, patient, and responsible. He is always well prepared for every class. He makes clear key points and good examples during class, and sends files after class. He looks throughly my homework and explains it next time to make sure that I am good with it. Mike also tells me something interesting about his culture, so he teaches much more than English writing to me. What’s more, he encourages me to talk and pay attention to everything I say with respect. I am so thankful for that! In a word, Mike is the perfect teacher if you want to learn how to write in English or improve your English writing skills. I have learned so much from Mike and It’s been a very pleasant experience!
