Experienced ESL Tutor for All Ages to Build Confidence & Fluency

Michaella S.

Learning a new language can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, progress can happen faster than you think.

I am an experienced educator with 11 years of classroom teaching experience and a strong academic background in both education and English language learning. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education with an ESL certification, a Master’s degree in Elementary Education, and a Master’s degree in American History. I am also currently working toward my Educational Administration degree.

Throughout my teaching career, I have worked with students of all ages and ability levels, including English language learners. My experience includes one-on-one instruction, small-group teaching, and whole-class classroom settings, with a strong emphasis on standardized test preparation, phonics, grammar, reading development, and spoken English.

As an ESL tutor, I specialize in:
•Accent reduction and pronunciation
•Phonics and foundational reading skills
•Grammar and sentence structure
•Speaking confidence and fluency
•Standardized testing strategies

My teaching style is patient, kind, and compassionate, while also being structured and goal-focused. I believe students improve most quickly when lessons are personalized, supportive, and intentionally designed to meet their specific goals. Whether working with children or adults, I focus on building both skill and confidence in English.

I am currently transitioning from full-time classroom teaching to tutoring in order to better balance work and family life, and I value the opportunity to work with students in a more individualized setting. If you are motivated to improve your speaking, reading, and overall confidence in English, I would love the opportunity to support your learning.
