Hi, Hola, 你好. I’m Michael, and I’m here to help you achieve your English goals! I am a specialist English teacher with years of experience in teaching both children and adults. In university I studied History, English and Mathematics. I also studied a Masters of Education. Outside of teaching, I love learning languages, playing sports, fashion, music, tv series and the latest trends. Let’s work together to improve your English and reach your goals! My goal is simple: to ensure my students make progress every lesson. I’m a friendly and supportive teacher who focuses on creating a comfortable, enjoyable learning environment. I use student-centered methods tailored to each individual’s learning style, drawing on my experience. Seeing my students improve and confidently use their new skills is what I enjoy most about teaching. In my lessons, the focus is on you—your goals, your challenges, and your progress. I take time to understand what you need most and design lessons that are practical, interactive, and tailored to your unique learning style.
