About Michael
With over 30 years of teaching experience in ESL and English Composition, I bring a proven, student-centered approach that prioritizes clarity, confidence, and measurable growth. I’ve helped hundreds of students—from university freshmen to TOEFL candidates—build the academic English skills they need to succeed. Each lesson is tailored to the student’s level and goals. A typical session might begin with a short diagnostic task (like summarizing a short text), followed by focused instruction on a core skill—such as refining topic sentences or improving spoken coherence—and end with targeted feedback and a practice assignment. What sets me apart is my depth of experience across academic and test-prep settings, along with a calm, supportive presence that helps students feel safe taking risks and making progress. I know how to meet students where they are—and how to get them where they want to be. These lessons are designed for motivated high school or college students, TOEFL test-takers, and non-native English speakers preparing for academic or professional success. I take pride in providing expert instruction with professionalism, patience, and a commitment to real results.

As a tutor, I use a student-centered approach that adapts to each learner’s goals, proficiency level, and academic needs. I prioritize active engagement, clear feedback, and real-world application to build both confidence and competence.
A typical lesson begins with a brief warm-up (like correcting common grammar errors or paraphrasing a short paragraph), followed by focused instruction on a key concept—such as thesis development or TOEFL speaking strategies—then guided practice and constructive feedback. Each session ends with a short recap and take-home task to reinforce learning.
What sets me apart is 30 years of classroom and online experience teaching ESL and English Composition at all levels—from high school and college students to adult professionals. I combine academic rigor with patience and cultural awareness to help students thrive in diverse settings.
These lessons are ideal for university-bound ESL learners. college composition students, .
