About Me
italki teacher since Nov 28, 2021
Hello, I'm Michael. I’m from London, I’ve been teaching and tutoring for more than 10 years now.
My accent is standard, and I speak slowly and very clearly. At the moment I’m learning Chinese, which I’m at an intermediate level, I also study Spanish and Russian in my spare time, so I can understand the frustration and difficulties of learning another language.
When I’m not studying, I love to play the guitar, piano, and I’m now learning how to play the flute! I’ve run five marathons all over the world!
When I’m able to, I love to travel, I’ve travelled to many wonderful places in the world, and seen many things. I recently returned from China, where I lived for 5 years!
Me as a Teacher
I’ve been working in education for a long time now so I have a lot of experience and I believe it’ll show during our classes. You will improve very quickly, I’m sure of it!
I hold a bachelors degree in Economics and Law, as well as a masters degree in Finance and Banking, I also studied for another masters degree in Education. I am a graduate of the UK's number one ranked university.
As a teacher, I'm passionate, patient, encouraging, and I will push my students hard to become their best future selves.
I take pride in my students' achievements and teaching is what I love to do.
We can discuss anything and everything.
My lessons & teaching style
Every student is different. I don’t have a copy and paste attitude, every class is tailored to suit individual needs and goals. You’ll learn an enormous amount from a native English gentleman.
Depending on you we can have formal and informal classes, perhaps you’d like to study with me to complement your own studies and work on homework, or follow my own course of study, or we can have conversational classes whereby I improve your language skills without you feeling too much like you’re actually studying. We can also prepare for IELTS etc.
I like to be organised. I will carefully prepare all of our lessons together, create study plans, track your progress, send materials, and set homework.
