*Unfortunately, I do not teach children.*
I'm a university student studying classical piano with a passion for languages and helping people out. I have a lot of interests and hobbies, such as...
1. Astronomy
2. Hiking and exercising
3. Reading about many different subjects, such as history, classical literature, music, politics, and a lot more.
4. I also love studying foreign languages, and I currently speak Russian and German.
I'm very curious and enjoy learning new things everyday, which is why I love to hear all about other people's passions and dreams.
Me as a Teacher
I'm a professionally certified TEFL teacher and have been teaching online for a year now. I am able to leverage my skills gained from professional courses to assist you with anything you could possibly need help with. Above all else, I like to encourage having a good time and enjoying the learning process, as that's what will keep you motivated every day to learn English.
I've had over 600 students and helped them to learn English, from absolute beginners to even the most advanced.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are structured to help you with your specific needs. I build lessons around my students, and give them fun and engaging activities to learn English with. I'm very patient and kind with my students, as I understand the difficulties of learning English. I have a huge repertoire of lesson plans, from reviewing articles to very interesting conversation topics.
One of my favorite ways to teach is asking my students thought provoking questions and discussing it with them, but I also enjoy looking at articles, role playing, watching videos, and a lot more! I love to discuss deep and philosophical topics.

Teacher’s pick
I’ve been taking regular lessons with Michael for four months now and I am very satisfied with the remarkable progress I’ve made. I’ve started to feel a lot more confident in framing my thoughts into complete sentences without translating every single word when speaking.
Michael is a professional teacher. He always sends me a list of notes where I can find any remarks, corrections, collocations or just some options to say things in a more natural manner. I can therefore revise the material after each lesson.
We talk on a broad range of topics discussing music, science, memes and so on. Michael is an erudite, polite and open-minded person. This way I wind up having a really enjoyable leisure time rather than going through a bunch of dull grammar activities or something.
I’m absolutely going to keep at it and surely with Michael’s help on my way to fluency, I’ll make it to a high advanced level of speaking very soon. I recommend this teacher to everyone pursuing the same goals!

Michael is very cool man! He is friendly, talkative and attentive. I like lessons with him. We usually talk a lot of lessons and already discussed a lot of interesting topics. He speaks Russian as well and sometimes helps me explaining difficult phrases.
