Interests: Hi, My name is Michelle and I am a real Londoner who has lived, taught & travelled around the world.
I am a people person who loves to support people reach their goals. Simple. I will correct you at each step of the way, give and mark homework if that is what you need, check your progress and make sure that you are achieving success in learning, with a focus on producing language so speaking and listening skills for natural or exam English. Coming from a non traditional academic background makes me appreciate life more than others & have created teaching and learning methods from this life experience. I work as a 'life coach' , business consultant and author these days and am living between Sicily and England so would like to share my skills and passion with a couple of lucky students as I don't offer full time work but prefer to give quality rather than quantity. I will assess you psychology of learning style and as a psychologist I can get you to the level of English that you desire using the right method for you that is personalised. Originally from London, I left to live in other countries about 12 years ago - I have lived and worked in Vietnam, New York, Bali, Saudi Arabia, Sicily, Vienna, Bulgaria, Germany and Portugal. I speak Italian (with a Sicilian accent!) and am learning German and Mandarin as I don't understand English tutors who say they can't speak / learn other languages. I love cooking, calligraphy & letter writing, languages, people watching (for socio-cultural reasons rather than stalking!), reading, astronomy, red wine production, classical music & opera, travel, basketball, football (Arsenal and Madrid fan), poetry, blogging and a simple life... I also love children having fostered and worked as a coach since I was 14 years old from the poorest to the most prestigious educations in the UK. I teach kids online also from mainland China and Taiwan to Mexico and Italy. As a children's book author and with my love of kids it is a pleasure.
Book a lesson with me to see if we are a good 'fit'. I would like to see what your goals are - academically and personally, then we can make a plan to get you there! I am a psychologist also so I can see what your best way to learn is and offer very personalised lessons to help you achieve faster than ever. I am a very patient and flexible teacher that really cares about students and their development, so book a trial and you won't be disappointed. I am also very flexible and available with times and days as I choose not to work full time so can fit in around you. I have taught every kind of class in the UK and around the globe, from beginner to advance, groups to individuals, exam English to business English, IT, Sports, Healthcare, Service Industry (Hotels and Restaurants) so there is nothing I am not able to manage! I bring with me passion, commitment and enjoyment. I couldn't read or write until I was ten years old and worked and sent myself to university so I really understand what it feels like to want to learn and achieve - I would like to be that guide for you...
Aim High, Achieve Higher.

I learn and speak languages as I created methodologies to learn. I like to teach busy professionals or students who have no time for traditional learning methods. I am a practical and strict but friendly teacher who will use speaking and listening methods along with exam or academic writing skills to get you to where you need to be. I am a psychologist also so can assess your learner type and teach you with a personalised approach. I have lived across the planet so also take into consideration cultural differences of my students.
BSc Psychology & Statistics (UK) MSc Computer Science (UK) Cambridge CELTA Teaching (UK) 25 Years of Business & Professional Work Experience. I have a social media following of approx. 42 thousand on FB for English videos and have learned foreign languages (Italian, German & Mandarin) using my teaching methods & no books.
Real Londoner who LOVES sharing skills - from homeless to University tutor across the globe! I have taught at every level of the British schooling system, all ages, academics and professionals and also internationally: IT, English, Sport, Medicine, Personal Development and currently run my own online international business as an entrepreneur who creates services that are lacking in the education industry rather than mainstream methods. I am an English exam specialist for IELTS, TOELF and most of the Cambridge suite (BEC professional etc) & also a tutor/coach for professional development with English (pilots, nurses, lawyers, waiters, service industry etc...) I focus on speaking/listening development and skills for exam technique (writing/reading/listening). I offer speed reading for professionals. At 45 years old, I have had several careers, from Chief Analyst for UNICEF UK, Computer Database Developer in London, Voted 2nd Best Tutor in the UK for Medical Care after working as a part time care worker for 18 years, have fostered children with disabilities in my late twenties, created a small publishing house and author of a bilingual children's interactive travel book series available on Amazon.com (the next one is set in...Vienna!). I have taught in nearly every continent on the planet and so find teaching a pleasure more than a job. I currently blog for luxury hotels in Italy along with business consultancy for small businesses to start up, delivering bespoke professional & personal development courses. I am a web designer and branding / marketing consultant building clients businesses on social media, SEO and blogs. I run an international book club with paying members also. The clubs are for native and non native speakers so I teach English in the non native groups along with the joy of the book. I have taught at every level of the education system and in many countries from Bulgaria, to Vietnam, Saudi to Italy in person and now online across the planet. I love teaching all levels and also IETLS and Business - I am a specialist teacher having supported many students to success in the past 10 years. I also coach graduates to write good CVs and apply for universities in the UK and USA. I was listed in the 'Who's Who' of marketing in the UK 2003 so know about marketing oneself in interviews for example. I have used all my working life experience to set up my own business sharing what I have learned with others to make their dreams come true and to pass on the knowledge I have as I feel sharing knowledge is key for a healthy community.
Aim High, Achieve Higher.
Looking forward to meeting you...
