Professional ESL Teacher with 12+ years of experience and a Bachelor’s degree in TESOL. I provide objective and results-driven English coaching for two distinct groups: Adults focusing on English for business and young learners. (Cambridge YLE)
My methodology focuses on real world situations & scenarios. Whether you are preparing for a job interview, meeting, or presentation, or your child is starting their phonics journey, my lessons are structured, goal-oriented, & tailored to your learning goals.
*New Students: A trial lesson is required for all new students to assess proficiency and align on learning objectives i don't discuss politics, religion, or social ideologies.Me as a Teacher
I am a TESOL-certified expert with 12+ years of experience specializing in two high-results tracks: Adult Business Communication & Cambridge Young Learners (YLE).
For Adults: I provide business english beyond basic fluency to master strategic meetings, interviews, and international workflows. Whether you are a beginner building a foundation or seeking a professional polish, my approach is data-driven, practical, and focused on you.
For Kids: I provide structured, fun lessons using official Cambridge materials. From Phonics to Starters, Movers, and Flyers, I focus on the "Shields" system to ensure exam success and native-like pronunciation. My lessons & teaching style
My methodology is rooted in Active Output, ensuring students spend 70-80% of the session speaking. I move away from passive lectures to focus on measurable, real-world results.
For Kids: I use a high-energy, gamified approach. Lessons incorporate official Cambridge materials, interactive digital whiteboards, and systemic Phonics. We target the four pillars—Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking—to ensure your child is "Exam Ready" and confident.
For Adults; We use real-world materials: industry news, case studies, and role playing scenarios. I provide instant, high-level feedback on syntax, nuance, and pronunciation. Whether preparing for a board meeting or an international interview.My teaching material

BA-TESOL - Thongsook College - 2019The BA-TESOL program at Thonsook College (2015–2019) was a dual-focused academic track that balanced the psychological foundations of early childhood education with the strategic demands of English for Specific Purposes.

BA-TESOL - Thongsook College - 2015My Bachelor of Arts in TESOL focused on the intersection of linguistic theory and executive-level English for Specific Purposes.

Mike is one of the best English tutors I've ever had. Not only does he know how to find the right approach to a student, but he also possesses a rare ability to keep up a conversation on a wide range of topics, making his classes fascinating and interesting.

Mike is great! We can talk a lot of things, like food, movies, etc. I have no trouble understanding him because he will explain them and make me understood if there is any uncommon phrases to me. Informative indeed!

我觉得这个老师更像个导师而不像语伴，在整节课中他说话的时间比我要多太多了，一直在讲述他的建议。不过我还是很认可他的建议。也许也是我在上课前没有说清楚，不过他一上来就开始输出到最后，也没有太多的询问我。他很专业，但是也许有时候他也在水课吧
