About Me
italki teacher since Oct 26, 2021Interest topicTravelHistory
Hi, I'm Michelle! I'm from Sydney, Australia. My native language is English, which I speak with a standard Australian accent, and I also speak German. I spent over 20 years teaching mathematics and then completed university studies in linguistics. I absolutely love teaching and I have a very clear understanding of the types of challenges faced by my language students, as I am a language learner myself (currently learning Italian, French and Portuguese).
Mein Name ist Michelle. Ich komme aus Sydney in Australien und unterrichte seit mehr als 20 Jahren Mathematik, aber ich habe vor kurzem mein Studium der Linguistik abgeschlossen. Meine Muttersprache ist Englisch und ich spreche auch Deutsch.Me as a Teacher
It is important to look for a teacher whose lessons will fit your unique needs.
I work best with the following types of students:
English lessons:
- A student who has already learned some English and understands English grammar in general, but wants to improve their speaking and comprehension skills to be able to have conversations in English
- Plans to visit or live in Australia OR is a native German speaker
German lessons:
- A student who is an English speaker (native or non-native)
- Someone who is at the beginner or intermediate stage of their German learning, and wants to better understand the ins and outs of German grammar
* I teach adults, not young learners (minimum age 15) *My lessons & teaching style
English lessons:
My English lessons focus on conversation practice. I particularly specialise in helping my students to speak and understand natural conversational English. During the lessons, we will discuss a range of different topics and I will correct your mistakes as we talk. I can also answer questions about English and help you to improve your pronunciation, reading and writing skills.
German lessons:
I believe that beginner to intermediate learners learn most effectively when grammar is explained in a language they already understand, so I explain German grammar in English for English speakers. I can also help you with your German pronunciation, sentence-building and reading skills.Work Experience

I have made so much progress with Michelle. She is a fine teacher and patient. She is an excellent listener and her way of explaining is great. We have interesting discussions. An hour with her goes by too fast!
