Many tutors teach English to pass exams. Passing exams is important, but I focus on communication. If you want to improve your English in ways that allow you to use your English, this is the place for you. We have a big focus on discussion and interaction. We do study vocabulary and grammar, but those are secondary to natural engagement. And let's be honest, learning should be fun! Come and have fun while you learn and grow. See you soon!

About Michael T.

(2)

Hello, I am a professional English Tutor with over 15 years experience. I lived in S. Korea for 12 years, working 10 years as a professor. I started my own tutoring business and have been growing for 5 years. Studying a language should be fun and interesting. I can customize my lessons to any age group and to any skill level. I have taught conversation, writing, speech, TOEFL, and more. I prefer to teach through reading books. Reading is an important part of my of learning another language. Often students will read chapters for homework then we will go over vocabulary together. A main portion of the class is discussion of what we read. I am looking forward to getting to know you and helping you grow your English skills. See you soon. -Michael
