About Me
italki teacher since Oct 13, 2017
I'm Michael and I'm a native British English speaker from Cornwall, England.
I love all aspects of language (I'm currently learning Japanese, Chinese and Cornish).
My passion is seeing people improve and reach their life goals through the English language, and I'll be so happy to be a part of that journey with you.
I look forward to talking with you!

My lessons & teaching style
I generally focus on two types of classes (or a mix of the 2) - depending on what you need.
1. Conversation lessons: Here we can talk about a pre-planned topic and share opinions on it. I will also do my best to introduce new and relevant vocabulary. I will write any new words in a PDF document which I'll send at the end of each class.
2. General Skill lessons: (eg. grammar, reading, pronunciation). In a typical lesson, we might spend 30 minutes studying some grammar together, or perhaps read an article. For the last 30 minutes, we would have a discussion to practice what we just learnt.
Proofreading and corrections are also available

I was so HAPPY with Michael's proofreading service! He did not only correct my grammar but also suggest a better word or sentence for a context. Thank you so much, Michael. Your proofreading is the BEST!

Again I learnt a lot with Michael. I have to say that you are one of the best teachers I found here on italki. I always feel very relaxed and when I finish a lesson I am always looking forward to the next one. Have a great weekend :)

Thank you for your trial lesson today.
I was nervous,but thanks to your leading, I was able to tell you about myself and what want to say.
I want to learn from native English and your English is crystal clear, that’s why I want to take your class.
I’m looking forward to seeing you again soon.
