About Me
italki teacher since Jun 28, 2023Interest topicPets & Animals
I am Michelle Minnie, an undercover artist, cute pet enthusiast and lover of all that is kind and beautiful in this world. I am very positive and encouraging. I strive to help others where I can and I am always excited to meet new people. I have a Bachelors degree in Marketing Management, together with numerous awards (UJenius award, top 1%, Club 15 award and Top student award). I also have an advanced TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign language) certificate. Lastly, I have a certificate in Microsoft Office fundamentals. I make full use of both my creative and analytical knowledge to make my classes fun, and worth every cent.Me as a Teacher
I always try to make my classes practical, to ensure that my students can go out into the world and speak with confidence. I am very patient and kind in my classroom and encourage students to ask questions and speak as much as possible in order to maximize their practice time.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons differ from beginner to intermediate and advanced. I adjust my lessons to suit the needs of my students. I maximize student talking time and ensure that understanding takes priority. My students can expect to discuss a wide range of topics and interact with materials relating to our topic. I strive to instill confidence in my students through these tactics. I enjoy using "either or" quizzes throughout my lessons to check concept understanding and before moving on to a more difficult level. I combine sound (class talking time) and sight (demonstrations of how to form sounds with the mouth and tongue) to enable my students to learn quickly. I am very patient with my students.My teaching material

Michel is a fantastic teacher, always helpful and encouraging. I eagerly look forward to each class with her, and time flies by during our conversations. What I value most in our sessions is the corrections she provides, as she makes thorough notes about my mistakes and how to improve them. Michel is the kind of teacher I wish I had met earlier in my life. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a dedicated and effective teacher.
