About Me
italki teacher since Jan 6, 2022Me as a Teacher
I have the ability to teach English to people of all levels. I have a lot of experience in the business world, which makes me a good choice if you want to brush up on your business English for that important board presentation, conference or business case.
I can tailor classes especially for your specific needs or I use the Cambridge English suite of Study books to provide a structured english course if you would prefer that approach (you would need to provide your own student book to work from - these are available from Amazon and other places).My lessons & teaching style
I believe that you can have fun doing everything and I truly believe that the best way to learn is to have fun doing it!
Although there is always a place for reference books and curriculum, I do my best in my classes to integrate fun activities that connect with the things you love.My teaching material

Michael is the perfect teacher. He is extremely well prepared, constantly keeps in mind where the individual focus lies and combines the new with the known with the greatest possible naturalness. This is both fantastic and very useful, to see the alleged difficulties of the language as a whole, in a system, and thus be able to understand and apply them immediately.
Michael is very friendly and patient, and in every lesson we have a topic with which he lands a direct hit.
I can absolutely recommend him to everyone and I look forward to working with him again.
