About Me
italki teacher since Jun 4, 2021InterestsMusicFilms & TV SeriesReading
I am originally from San Antonio, Texas in the US and have been living and teaching in Japan for over 10 years. I arrived here in 2011 and spent two years working in Niigata. After that, I moved to Tokyo to finish my Masters in TESOL at Temple University. I love teaching English!Me as a Teacher
I try to listen as well as speak during a lesson. Often an instructor will feel the need to jump in an answer a question they have asked before the student can work it out for themselves. As a second-language learner myself, I have an understanding of what a student needs from their teacher in terms of support as well as breathing space during practice.My lessons & teaching style
I try to make my lessons more about using English in context rather than studying rules from a book and doing drills. I often say that students should use English rather than study it. There are so many resources out there for English learners to pick up and practice with. Also, I feel that culture and background knowledge is often neglected, which makes it really hard for a student to get a deep understanding of expressions and vocabulary. So that is more of a focus for me than I think most other teachers.5.0

I learned the measure of EIKEN Grade Pre-1 in this time.Teacher educated me about grammar and vocabulary in detail.This class is very helpful as it enables me to realize what should I do in the future. I'd like to conquer a problem by the next session. Thank you very much for preparing the good class and I am looking forward to seeing you next time.

今まで独学で英語を勉強してきたので、英会話レッスン自体が初めてでした。
マイケル先生はすぐに私のウィークポイントを発見し、私の英語能力の限界付近のスクリプトを次々と出題してくれました。
自身の課題が明確になりにくかったので、また自主勉するモチベーションが出来ましたw
また、次回のレッスンもよろしくお願いします(^^)
