About Me
italki teacher since May 31, 2019
I grew up right outside of NYC and spent 3 years in Germany studying, teaching English, and exploring the world. Since then, I've moved back to upstate New York in the USA to teach High School German. I have a BA in German Language and Literature and I am working on my MS in German Education. I have two years of experience teaching English at a German school, many years of tutoring experience, and have been teaching at an American high school since September 2020. I love hiking, filming, photography, cooking, and technology.
Me as a Teacher
I have had a lot of experience in professional and freelance settings. I've tutored and taught English, German, and History since about 2013. I am currently working on getting my teaching degree at SUNY Oswego in Oswego, NY. I like to have a personal connection with my students in order to get my students comfortable and motivated to learn English or German. I feel language learning only works when the students are comfortable and not intimidated.
My lessons & teaching style
Let's start with a conversation, and then we can work on our topic and dig deep into the grammar. I will use a lot of different digital medias but also lots of book scans, as I have a huge collection of English and German grammar books for all levels (A1-C2). With this huge collection, I am able to cater the lessons to your needs. I can do any approach you need- business, OR everyday situation (conversational). You WILL have homework and I will expect that you come prepared. I offer various types of classes, from as basic as conversation practice to as advanced as test preparation!

I love the way of teaching Micheal introduced! He was free flowing but he also provides a structure that will help you learn more efficiently!

We have done some reviews in the first class so Michael can know what my German level is. Michael is patient and considerate. You will feel comfortable and open to learn with him.
