About Michelle
"Since we focus on steady progress, I prefer to record our weekly conversations so that we can review your specific vocabulary building and grammar usage together later. It really is the most effective way to see your growth over time because you can hear exactly how your fluency has changed from one week to the next.
My background with a BEd in Second Language Teaching from York University means that I am always looking for ways to refine your writing skills and refine your pronunciation. By analyzing these recordings, we identify patterns in your speech that need minor adjustments to sound more natural. This systematic approach is particularly helpful for busy business travelers and IELTS candidates who require precise feedback. Does your current schedule allow for a commitment to this type of consistent, analytical practice?"

"Stepping into my virtual classroom, you might notice that I prioritize a quiet space where you can speak without the pressure of being judged. I recall a specific afternoon when a student struggled for 30 minutes with a single phrasal verb, and we simply broke it down into smaller, logical pieces until the concept clicked. My teaching philosophy is grounded in the 13 years of experience I gained while helping people navigate the intricacies of English as a second language.
Holding a BEd in Second Language Teaching from York University, I ensure that every lesson is built on a solid academic framework. I have supported 84 students in their quest to master everything from grammar foundations to complex interview preparation. Developing your speaking confidence is a central objective of our work together.
My approach to business English is direct, ensuring you learn to communicate clearly in high-pressure professional environments. I focus on TOEFL preparation for those looking to advance their academic or career prospects. Everyday conversation is also a priority because you need to feel comfortable in social settings. It is genuinely enjoyable to see the moment when a learner realizes they can communicate a complex thought with total ease."
