Michael
Hello!
I'm a kind and patient guy who loves learning and loves helping people. I'm interested in everything and everyone! I l lived in China for many years where I taught English to students of many different ages and levels of ability. I learned a lot of Mandarin Chinese when I was there but I seldom get to practise it these days. I live in the UK now which is my home country. I still love chatting to people from all over the world, it's a great joy for me.
I am a passionate Star Wars fan, but I like a lot of movies and TV shows and enjoy talking about them, sharing thoughts and opinions. It's a great way to communicate! In my time I have been an actor, a writer, and a teacher in the classroom. I lived and worked in China for almost 15 years, and have also visited Thailand and Cambodia. Also several European countries including France, Italy and the Netherlands. I am literally interested in everything including science, history and current affairs.

Teaching Style
My teaching style is laid-back and relaxed. Humour is important, but most important is patience and listening. My core belief is to listen to students and think about their needs and goals. For me, every learner is a special person on their own special journey. Think of me as a fellow traveller and guide on a mission to make the journey both joyful and worthwhile.
