Hello! I’m Micah—experienced teacher and language enthusiast. I help advanced English learners (B2–C1) build fluency, clarity, and confidence through thoughtful, conversation-based lessons.
Drawing on my background in linguistics and language teaching, I support learners in speaking more naturally, expanding their vocabulary, and expressing themselves clearly in real conversations. While I still help with pronunciation, my main focus is building confidence and ease—not just correctness.
I also teach beginners in Latin and Ancient Greek using a blend of grammar-translation and reading methods to help you access classical texts and explore ancient languages.Me as a Teacher
I believe language learning should be immersive, structured, and enjoyable. With my experience in both modern and classical languages, I tailor each lesson to your unique needs—whether you're an advanced English learner looking to refine your fluency or a beginner just starting with Latin or Greek.
My approach draws on proven principles of second language acquisition, emphasizing natural interaction, clear explanations, and meaningful practice. I’ll help you speak with confidence and ease in an authentic, low-pressure way.

My English lessons focus on natural conversation to build your fluency, expand your vocabulary, and develop your ability to express complex ideas with confidence. I support pronunciation and grammar as needed, but always in a way that fits your personal goals and communication style.
What I help you improve:
✅ Speaking confidence
✅ Vocabulary and expression
✅ Listening and conversation skills
✅ Pronunciation support (on request)
✅ Grammar and structure in context
For Latin and Greek, I use a blend of grammar-translation and reading methods to guide you through classical texts and build a solid foundation in these ancient languages.Teaching experience

Absolument ravi de la méthode de Micah. Attenif au moindre détails et très à l'écoute. Il prend le temps de bien analyser le niveau et de proposer des outils adéquats. je le recommande fortement notamment pour travailler son accent. Un vrai professionnel. merci Micah.
