📢 Note: I do not teach children or teens under 18. Thanks for understanding! 😊
📢 I’m currently taking a break from CELPIP classes. 😢
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, fluency, and IELTS prep—especially Speaking and Writing, areas many students find challenging. Whether you’re building confidence or preparing for an exam, I’m here to help you soar. 🚀
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 and your exams and interviews. 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 'Skype/Facetime' as communication tools (not iTalki, which has limitations) :)
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.

This class was very helpful. Michael's given me some tips of how to improve my fluency including reading more articles in IT field, utilizing AI chatboxes, etc. He also reminded me of my N and L pronunciations. The advice of N and L distinguishing was very useful. We then talked about the idea of books and he's shared me some materials about this topic. He's a great teacher.
