Hello!

Hello! My name is Mike, and I’m from South Africa. I started teaching English after I retired from my professional career. My first teaching experience was with Interlingua in Mexico City, where I taught English for about six months. After that, I completed my English teaching diploma with i-to-i TEFL in the UK. Once I had qualified, I moved to Buenos Aires in Argentina, where I taught both General and Business English at several language institutes. I really enjoy meeting people from different cultures and helping students improve their confidence in speaking English. My lessons are relaxed, friendly, and focused on conversation and real communication. Don’t worry about making mistakes — that’s a natural part of learning. I specialise in working with adult learners and enjoy helping professionals improve their English for work and everyday communication. If you would like to improve your confidence in English conversation, I would be very happy to work with you. Feel free to book a lesson with me. I look forward to meeting you!

Teaching Style

"My teaching style is relaxed and adaptable. I aim to create a friendly, laid-back environment where students feel comfortable. Some lessons are free-flowing conversations, while others are more structured — it all depends on your needs and goals. I respect every student who takes on the challenge of learning English. I always try to be empathetic, patient, and supportive — because learning a new language is no small feat. If you're looking for a mature, experienced tutor who understands your journey, I’d love to work with you. Let’s chat soon!"
