📢 Note: I do not teach children or teens under 18. Thanks for understanding! 😊
Hi! I’m Michael Robson, a Canadian English teacher from Vancouver. I’ve taught adult learners from around the world, and I’m thrilled to meet you here on iTalki.
I specialize in conversation, pronunciation and fluency. Thank you to all my students for being kind, respectful, and open to different cultures. You’re the reason I love this work. 🙏Ik als leerkracht
In the past I’ve worked in teaching academies with 5-15 students each class (students ranged from every part of the world). I look forward to working with you on your conversation skills to help you in your future endeavours! I have a range of fun topics that should last us for weeks. Once our conversation topics are done, we can jump into some fun topics in an advanced Listening and Speaking textbook :) . Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I am happy to help you with Conversational English, IELTS/CELPIP, and interviews in some industries. I won’t dominate the class with my own voice, and I will encourage you to use as much English as possible!
Communication:
Please select 'Zoom' as communication tools (not iTalki, which has limitations) :)
If you prefer 腾讯会议 that works for me too!
Please note: I appreciate all my students who show up on time! Please change/cancel 24hrs before the class starts, or the class will be confirmed and paid. As is standard on iTalki, if you are 15 minutes late for the class, the class is paid and finished. :)Mijn lesmateriaal

TESOL / Teaching Adults English - Global TESOL College - 2015My TESOL Certification began upon graduation back in 2000.
In 2015 I was asked to complete an additional 60 hours for Teaching Adults and I earned this degree (all the same organization). Since I was working at a university level academy, it was a perfect thing to focus on.

Michael is incredibly attentive and has meticulously corrected numerous minor grammar issues, greatly aiding me in speaking more naturally. Furthermore, he has provided me with excellent idiomatic exercises for practice.I am indeed not proficient in using these idioms, but the exercises have been extremely helpful.

I was eager to have more lectures from him but he refused me and didn't give a good lesson. Instead he sent random 3 lecturer then blocked me. I am extremely surprised to have this situation.
Note: He came 1 minute late and left 2 minutes early for 30 mins class which 10% of lesson was missed...
