Michael
Hello!
Hi! I’m Michael, a native English speaker from USA, currently based in Tirana, Albania. With eight years of experience teaching students from all over the world, I specialize in helping serious learners build the confidence and vocabulary they need to excel in professional and technical environments.
Before teaching, I built a career in trades and management, ranging from project coordination at The Home Depot to electrical and carpentry work. Lately, I've been focusing spending time learning about how to use tools like AutoHotkey and Powershell on Windows and coming up with ways to use them to optimize my workflow. In my free time I like cooking, gardening, taking care of my pets, calisthenics workouts, kettlebell workouts, reading and retro gaming. I'm also like studying about behavioral psychology and different philosophies and incorporating the ideas that I learn into my daily life. I'm up for talking about any topic, so feel free to ask me anything.

Teaching Style
My classes are structured to turn "studying" into "speaking." I blend meaningful conversation with targeted, strategy-based practice focusing on the habits and techniques that build real-world fluency. Actionable Strategies: Whether we are discussing professional life or your personal interests, I provide honest corrections and clear guidance. Tech-Focused Support: If you are a developer or tech professional, I can help you articulate complex concepts, navigate technical interviews, and polish your professional communication. Results-Oriented: I work best with students who want structured practice and honest feedback. My goal is to help you move past intermediate "study mode" and into speaking with genuine, everyday confidence.
