Insegnante di italki dal 13 Feb 2020Argomento di interesseMusicaViaggiScrittura
I am a native English and Scots speaker from Glasgow, Scotland and I can help if you want to:
- practice conversations in English informally,
- improve your English writing,
- improve your English to study at university,
- be more confident using English in your classroom. This course is especially for teachers,
- increase your vocabulary, improve your fluency and accuracy, and sound more like a native speaker,
- learn about the Scots language or learn its poetry, songs, and literature,
*please note that I do not teach children. You can find lots of tutors on Italki who can teach children.
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.
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 ...Il mio materiale didattico

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.
