Hi everyone! My name is Michael and I am from New York City. I have a Master’s in Teaching English as a Second Language, and I have been teaching English for the past 12 years all around the world.
Do you have trouble understanding native speakers? Do you often feel nervous when speaking English in a group or at work? Trust me, I know how you feel! I have taught English in three foreign countries and I know how frustrating it can be trying to hold a conversation in another language. That is why I have developed a highly effective curriculum that focuses on improving your speaking fluency, grammatical accuracy and listening comprehension so that you can feel confident when speaking English.
I have the most experience teaching in the following categories:
-Intermediate Conversational English and Grammar (A2-B2)
-Advanced Conversational English and Grammar (C1)
-TOEFL Preparation
-IELTS Preparation
(I do NOT teach children)
I have taught in the United States, China, Spain, and I am currently living in Guadalajara, Mexico. Here in Mexico, I have been working with the United States Consulate to train English teachers and improve English Education throughout the city of Guadalajara.
When I teach, I enjoy having dialogues and creating interactive activities with my students that get them to use the grammar and vocabulary in a realistic way. This not only makes the classes more fun, but also makes difficult grammar easier to understand and more likely to be remembered.
If you have any questions, please feel free to message me here on Verbling to discuss further.
Good luck in your language learning journey,
Michael Horvilleur
