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

Michelle is an amazing teacher! She is so kind, friendly and outgoing. She encourages you to speak as much as possible and, in case, you are struggling to find a correct word or to keep expressing your thought, she helps you out. It`s so nice to have such a trustworthy teacher who you could rely on and being authentic yourself.
