Hello! My name is Mike, and I have been teaching English as a Foreign/ Second Language for 6 years. I have created and taught curricula for writing and speaking courses, as well as teaching reading, public speaking, and grammar skills. Aside from this job, I have experience training colleagues and subordinates in numerous fields. I have a Bachelor's degree in International Studies and received my CELTA certification in March of 2018.

I am excited to tutor because, in my opinion, the students who want to learn are the best students. Language requires practice and dedication, so I hope that my enthusiasm about English can inspire others to truly enjoy learning the language. I have studied many languages in my life and use the knowledge I have gained when teaching English. I think tutoring is important because personal, one-on-one learning time is effective for reinforcing learned material as well as individually-tailored assistance with anything that may come up in class. I don't let my students feel that tutoring is meant to be a catch-up or remedial; tutored students simply have a greater desire to succeed and a passionate, caring parent who wants what is best for them.

I am confident that I will be an effective tutor for your English needs. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to set up your first lesson!

ESL/ESOL

I have been certified in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) since 2013. I have taught students of all ages in Korea and worked with adults as an ESL adjunct in Frederick Community College.
Grammar

Grammar

I taught conversational and writing grammar to Korean students aged 10-16.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I coached several students in public speaking skills while teaching in South Korea, and spent the year extensively tutoring one young man. We outlined and wrote speeches together before they would memorize and present them, sometimes even participating in speaking competitions. I worked on forming key points and arguments, speech structure, opening and closing statements, and proofreading as well as posture, speed, intonation, and annunciation.
Reading

Reading

I taught numerous middle-school students reading fundamentals and critical and analytical thinking skills in single-student and multi-student settings in Korea.
Writing

Writing

I have helped middle-school and high-school students craft better writing and learn to be more effective and engaging when completing writing assignments. I enjoy tweaking vocabulary, diction, sentence structure, and grammar to bring a student's piece of writing to its fullest potential.

Knowledgeable and great tutor

Michael is excellent tutor and teacher. He teaches reading and writing and composition. He is teaching my 10 yo how to comprehend text and summarize and write correct sentences. He gives her homework to find words and find meanings and to write and read and summarize and understand. We enjoy Michael as excellent and extremely knowledgeable tutor and teacher.

Knowledgeable and Patient

Michael was very straightforward as to what his plan was in regards to the needs of my daughter. It played out as he planned, and there was a clear goal to identify what her needs were and he would plan accordingly for the next session. The active adaptability in regards to assisting her with comprehension (like asking purposeful questions) was particularly note-worthy. This tutor was also really patient and didn't act out in frustration when my daughter had a difficult time with some of the questions.
