About Me

italki teacher since Oct 15, 2021

Hello! My name is Michele, and I grew up in New York City. I now live in New Jersey in the United States. I work as a teacher, and I am also a mother to two children. I enjoy meeting new people, traveling, going to great New York City museums, and reading. As I spent several years studying and working in France, I have experienced firsthand the challenge and thrill of learning a second language and living abroad.

Me as a Teacher

I am an experienced ESL teacher and have taught in both France and in the United States. I have taught beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes and have experience teaching in classrooms and also giving online classes. I received my Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Certificate from Teachers College, Columbia University.

My lessons & teaching style

I truly believe that language learning should be fun and interesting. In my classes, I have a learner-centered approach to teaching and help students to achieve their language goals. My classes will prepare students to tackle real-life situations in English. Each lesson will be adapted to a learner's needs and goals.
