Insegnante di italki dal 28 Oct 2015Argomento di interesseTecnologiaScienzaFinanzaAmbiente e naturaSport
Welcome to my teacher profile! I'm a 31-year-old native speaker from Brighton in the UK. I'd love to welcome you to a Topic Discussion for a relaxed chat about any topic you like :)
I'm CELTA qualified and I have 10 years of teaching experience. Most of this time I have been working one-to-one with students like you on italki. I've also taught on summer camps and in English schools in Oxford in the UK, and for 2 years in China, delivering lessons to students of all ages including beginner, intermediate and advanced students.
I love to spend time outside in the sun, wind, and rain, I like to keep healthy and energetic by practicing sports and martial arts, and I love learning new things.Che tipo di insegnante sono
In our classes we will explore topics and language functions which are interesting and useful to you, and I will use a lexical approach to teach you new language by focusing on its meaning in context. I will help you practice listening and reading strategies to allow you to communicate about any topic, whatever your current level of English.
I'm very passionate about my own learning, and I am interested in how learning is changing in the 21st century. It is important to learn how to study effectively by yourself, so as your teacher I will coach you to become a better learner and I will provide you with useful resources, websites and apps to help you study more efficiently. Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
My teaching style is all about having fun; if you aren't enjoying your classes, then you probably aren't learning very much! I enjoy the interesting conversations I have with my students, and I take a personal interest in helping you improve so that you can communicate more correctly, confidently, and fluently in English.
I believe that careful lesson planning is a very important part of teaching so you can trust me to always provide the most interesting and relevant teaching materials that challenge you, help you to improve, and encourage you to express your own thoughts and opinions.
If you are away from home, I am happy for you to use a smartphone to join our classes.Certificati

Michaelss is one of the best teachers I have had the opportunity to learn from. Not only is he understanding and patient, but also provides valuable feedback and suggestions for improving vocabulary and expressions. Additionally, he is an incredibly interesting person and a great conversationalist, which makes me look forward to each of our lessons. I highly recommend lessons with Michael!

extremely useful lesson, as usual!
A very knowledgeable teacher, gives lots of examples of the vocabulary I’m interested in. He has an eye for tiny differences between advanced speaking and AUTHENTIC advanced speaking.
highly recommend

I highly recommend Michael for speaking practice. She always brings thoughtful, engaging topics that make conversations genuinely interesting, not just useful for learning. She is well-educated, open-minded, and a great conversationalist. At the same time, she pays close attention to grammar, corrects mistakes gently, and helps expand your vocabulary. Lessons with her are meaningful, enjoyable, and truly effective.

Michael is my favorite teacher on italki because he is always well-prepared and patient. I never feel pressured during his lessons, yet I've noticed significant improvement after taking classes with him for a while.

A very good teacher who understands Chinese culture. Chinese children communicate smoothly and conveniently with Michael, and through three classes, the children become more confident.

Michael's expression is clear and there are learning themes to accumulate expression.
