TELF Teacher With Over 1600 Completed Lessons Hello! My name is Mike. I am from England. Throughout this pandemic I've been learning Spanish and I've realised how important it is to be able to speak to a native speaker and practise! I love a whole range of different activities! Everything from reading books to climbing mountains. Here's a few fun facts about me: I have visited 52 different countries, I've climbed Poland's tallest mountain and the tallest mountain solely in Italy, I've made music videos, promotional videos and wedding videos. I absolutely love learning about new cultures, people and countries. I am a very relaxed teacher and we can talk at a pace you feel comfortable with. We can talk about whatever topic you would like, I am keen to hear about you, your goals and your life experiences. I have also completed a TELF course which allows me to teach English as a foreign language. My lessons are for all levels. They are focused on conversational practice where you will will be able to speak and listen to a native speaker. We can talk specifically about certain topics that may be important for you to develop or we can have general conversations. I can correct you on your pronunciation and show you the most natural ways speak like a native :)

Mike is very patient and professional. He offered me very useful advice on how to improve my pronunciation and intonation and he asked different questions to gave me plenty of opportunities to practice my English in different tenses. I have learnt a lot from this lesson. I will book more lessons with him. Highly recommend.
