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. Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino
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.*Meu material de ensino

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.
