I'm Michael and I'm a native British English speaker from Cornwall, England.
I love all aspects of language (I'm currently learning Japanese, Chinese and Cornish).
My passion is seeing people improve and reach their life goals through the English language, and I'll be so happy to be a part of that journey with you.
I look forward to talking with you!Me as a Teacher

I will always make your learning my priority!My lessons & teaching style
I generally focus on two types of classes (or a mix of the 2) - depending on what you need.
1. Conversation lessons: Talk, debate and share opinions. Also look at new and relevant vocabulary. New words will be added to a PDF document which I'll send at the end of each class.
2. General Skill lessons: (eg. grammar, reading, pronunciation). Mixture of study and conversation to practice the skills. Homework is optional.
Proofreading and corrections are also available
Cancellation policy:
Lessons can be cancelled or rescheduled any time up to 24 hours before the lesson time. (Please message me first)
If there is less than 24 hours before the lesson, it cannot be changed.My teaching material

これまでのどの先生よりも私の話すことに興味を持って笑顔で聞いてくださりました。私が話すときに時間がかかったとしても笑顔で話し終わるまで待ってくれます。何よりもレッスン後にとても丁寧なフィードバックを頂けました。次のレッスンまでに何をすべきかの指針になると思います。どの先生に教わるか迷っている方はぜひ!

I was so HAPPY with Michael's proofreading service! He did not only correct my grammar but also suggest a better word or sentence for a context. Thank you so much, Michael. Your proofreading is the BEST!

I always have a wonderful time in lessons with Michael. We chat about all sorts of topics, have fun, we share the same kind of humour. Always feels like talking to a good friend.

Teacher’s pick
I have had my general conversation lessons with Michael for more than a year. And I always tell myself how lucky I was to pick Michael as my teacher. Michael is always ready to chat with me about many topics as they come up in everyday life. He also has a great sense of humour so it always feels like talking to a friend. There are many topics we can share even if he is much younger which shows that Michael is really open-minded, enthusiastic to learn new stuff about different cultures and tolerant (because I am a great Sherlock Holmes enthusiast so I cannot help but talk about it for at least a couple of minutes every lesson :)

Great chat in our today´s conversation lesson, as always. I have had lessons with Michael for 4 years know! We have covered so many topics. I do not have to prepare for our lessons very much any more because we always have so many things to talk about. Just like two friends chatting. Michael is very friendly, kind and tolerant, a highly experienced teacher. He is a language learner himself so he can really appreciate your efforts to improve your English and can understand your struggles in that.

Thank you for the lesson! Michael helped me understand an old English poem. Reading a poem in foreign language is really tough but with his help I could get what was depicted in. Thank you very much!
