About Me

italki teacher since Nov 18, 2021

My name is Mister Mike. I am a native of the North Eastern United States, Southern New Jersey. This is the most popular accent you hear in American movies. I have taught ESL for over 15 years; over 8 in Shanghai, China. My students have won English competitions twice in Shanghai. From ages 3-9 for English basics. Public speaking and teaching over 30 years. Also Business English for International trade both private and corporate groups. I am fluent in Oral Chinese. I can read hanzi intermediately.

Me as a Teacher

Humor and the skillful use of questions. How to make the student feel good is important. For little kids, animated storytelling, with laughter. Character building for them in appreciation of building focus in learning. For adults its relaxed and educational. Appropriate humor with balanced focus, according to the individual. Lessons progress by the students individual pace. Every student progresses at a different pace.

My lessons & teaching style

For the very beginning young child…ages 3-5. Its largely hear and copy. The style must be charged and animated. 5 years of age writing can be added because of brain development. A unique blend of the alphabet is taught with basic oral English foundation. Young children need a 10 minute break if you do an hour or more. After letter understanding comes phonics with my own unique pointers. Oral English for entry into an International Schools is blended into reading…..it alternates. Business English is all about each context and the vocabulary. Cultural understanding and is crucial for communication. I teach many tree talk topics. Euphemism-graceful disagreement are more expensive.

我第一次在italki上课，老师知识非常渊博，侃侃而谈，会一部分中文，如果是初学者听力还不算特别好的时候可以跟这位老师的课，中英穿插着教学至少能明白老师在说些什么，除此之外，他还会跟你分享很多你可能没听过的知识。比较推荐💪👍👍
