About Michael


Bio

I spent one month teaching English in Nepal, and since then have been teaching English locally. My students have been primarily from S. America, but have also come from Latvia, Lithuania, China and Puerto Rico.

I was born and educated in UK, have worked in the USA since 1974, and have both UK and USA citizenship. My graduate degree is in Food Science and it has enabled me to live and work in UK, USA, Canada and China. Now I want to offer my time to help others learn.

Reading

Reading

I have been teaching English as a second language since approx. 2013. This has covered vocabulary, grammar, reading, pronunciation and conversation. Each lesson has typically been 1 hour and either at the student's place of business, or a neutral location. The lessons have usually included assignments.
Writing

Writing

I was educated in the UK which I consider a superior education. All through school. English was a major focus of the schools, with Grammar being drilled into us. I consider my Grammar skills to be excellent, and my creativity in writing to be above average. Becoming an ESL teacher has kept these skills fresh.
