About Me
italki teacher since Jul 18, 2016
My name is Michael, and I'm a CELTA-certified English language teacher with a bachelor's degree in English literature and Political Theory.
I'm an enthusiastic person, and I put 100% into everything I do. Outside of teaching, I'm an avid skateboarder, guitarist,and sewing enthusiast. I love thrift shopping, cooking, and travel, and over the past few years I've had the opportunity to visit a multitude of amazing locations around Europe. I also have a keen interest in the Irish language, and am taking lessons myself.
Me as a Teacher
The most rewarding part of teaching is when I see a student advancing in English and achieving their goals, and over the years, I've developed my methods and approach to maximise student gains. In my classes, we focus on your needs and goals to get you where you need to be in English.
I endeavour to provide a relaxed, interactive, and fun learning environment for all my students. In our classes together, my focus is YOU. I want you to succeed in English, and I'll do everything I can to help you make that happen.
My lessons & teaching style
Here's how my courses are structured:
Stage 1
During the first class, we will assess your needs/wants for the course. I will then provide a quick grammar and assessment to make sure that classes are uniform and at the right level.
Stage 2
The course begins and the first half of the lessons are taught.
Stage 3
Students will be given a short test to assess their progress in the course. Students will be asked for general feedback on the course material, instruction and overall satisfaction with the course.
Stage 4
Second half of the course is completed.
Stage 5
The students are given the final exam. Results are given to the students as well as a final feedback form.

Micheál was my first "try" on italki. He's been my teacher now for 3 months and I don't intend to try it with another one : I'm very happpy with his methodology. He's very motivating and analyses very quickly what one's needs are. Thanks and see you soon for our next lesson!
