I have a neutral accent from years of living abroad and interacting with speakers of different variants of English. I lived in China for three years and in France for a year and a half. I'm a political scientist by training, with a focus on international relations (Master in Global Studies), and I also have a Master of Arts in English (MA) with an emphasis on social linguistics and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).

Please note that while you can schedule a class 12 hours beforehand, I do ask that you please try to schedule a class at least 24 hours in advance. If you are going to schedule just 12 hours before the class, please message me first.My teaching material

Michael and I worked on my academic paper. He helped me articulate my ideas more specifically, and edited my words in a more formal way. Thanks Michael!

We worked on the sound of the verbs with the ED ending, my most prominent weakness today. I am making significant progress because of Professor Michael's precise and educational method. I want to thank Michael for helping me.
