About Me
italki teacher since Jul 14, 2017
I am an online English teacher with a 120-hour CELTA certification and hundreds of hours of experience on Italki. My work here focuses on conversation practice, test preparation, writing and editing, and literature. I come from a background in business journalism and college teaching. My classroom experiences included teaching English and philosophy courses to inmates of Nevada state prisons through a program offered by Carson City-based Western Nevada College. I also taught at Feather River College in Quincy, California where I was on the adjunct faculty. I did my CELTA training in New York City. I'm a native speaker of American English.

It was a wonderful lesson! Mike is a super-professional English teacher. He not only explains well but also feels when the student finds it difficult to answer and selects simpler words and expressions. Thanks a lot to Mike for your patience and your time! Sincerely, your student, Sergio! I recommend this teacher to everyone! Это был замечательный урок! Майк сверх-профессионалный учитель английского. Он не только хорошо объясняет, но и прекрасно чувствует когда ученик затрудняется ответить и подбирает более простые слова и выражения. Большое спасибо Майк за терпение и за Ваше время! С глубоким уважением, ваш ученик, Серджио! Рекомендую всем данного преподавателя!

Thank you very much for the interesting literature discussion. I have heard a bit about Hemingway and his writing but this was my first time reading something by him. It was very interesting discussing it! I learned a lot. I look forward to the next literature discussion. :)
