I am a native English and Scots speaker from Glasgow, Scotland and I can help if you want to:

*please note that I do not teach children. You can find lots of tutors on Italki who can teach children.Moi en tant que professeur
My goal is to help you achieve your goals. So whatever reason you want to learn English or Scots (conversation, travel, teaching), I can help you.
My students report that I have a lot of patience. I will smile when you do something well, and I will give you all the encouragement I can. I am also very open, friendly person.
I have 10 years of experience teaching English and have recently started teaching Scots. I also sometimes teach French and Spanish in my local community.
I have also taught English for specific purposes, such as academic study and business. Therefore, if you want to learn English or Scots, I can help you achieve your goals. Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
We can practice any aspect of English or Scots: grammar, reading, writing, listening, speaking. I aim to make my lessons fun, rewarding, and challenging.
I have a wide range of materials and lesson plans but I am happy to customise the lessons and work at a pace that is suitable for you. For me, it is essential that the lessons are conducted according to your needs and goals.
* Please note that if you don't turn up for your lesson without prior notice or you cancel your lesson less than 6 hours before the scheduled start time, you will still be charged for the lesson.*Mes ressources d'enseignement

Today in addition to studying the past tense in Scots, we also talked a bit about English/Scots literature education in schools. Very interesting discussion, as always! Michael has good learning resources that range from dialogues to poems, which we will probably do some in the future.

Michael is a very good teacher and a nice person. He has a good feeling for pupils and knows how to make conversation before the lesson content starts to show that he is interested in his pupils.

We finished the study of adjectives in Scots today. We also had a good chat about current affairs in Scotland and Britain in general. It is always enjoyable talking with Michael. He’s engaging and friendly and willing to check things out in response to my enquiry!
