InterestsReadingHistoryScienceWritingEnvironment & Nature

Hi, I’m Mike, and I’m a professional linguist involved in training others in linguistics, research and consultancy. I have a PhD in Linguistics, and I’ve taught all sorts of courses in linguistics in several countries, as well as English courses. I’m probably more suitable for high-level learners of English, e.g. in academic writing.

Me as a Teacher

Specialities: analysis of where you need to grow, pronunciation, writing, linguistics. If you’re looking for someone who can explain what’s going on with English grammar and linguistics at a high level, I’m your guy – I can particularly help you master sounds that you find difficult to produce, as I’ve taught phonetics. I should be able to help with most linguistic issues. I also speak French, German, Spanish, and Arabic (my Tunisian is better than my Standard Arabic) to a high standard, so can help explain things especially well if you are from one of those language backgrounds, using that language when that is helpful.

My lessons & teaching style

I will first establish what it is you want and need help with most (especially pronunciation - phonetics; grammar; linguistics; conversation practice), and will structure things to help you most.

Michael provided me an amazing direction for advanced English learning. I started understanding better both English Grammar and pronouncation. It is a miracle to find a teacher of this level on Italki. Highly recommended for everyone who want to learn English deeper.

As a linguist, Mike can identify the cause of my mistakes in pronunciation clearly and tell me how to corretc them in a very specific way. Thanks a lot, Mike!
