My academic career has provided me with a high level of proficiency in understanding of language structure, syntax and grammar. As an editor-in-chief for a university graduate journal in philosophy for two years now, I have cultivated my writing and editing abilities and want to share with you how to easily write and structure papers in order to achieve high grades. My techniques on how to write the perfect paper work for all subject areas. I have experience working with adults and children of all ages and backgrounds.

I am available monday-friday as well as the weekends.

I believe that language is a powerful tool today. Not only does it help us understand the world from a different perspective, but it also teaches us the culture of the people who use it. I have had the opportunity to work with teenagers for 5 years now as a student associate in a science center, as a mentor and a lecturer in a different field. What I have learned from that experience is that first and foremost one must become a friend with their student, to understand their needs and their attitudes. I will do my best to make the classes fun by combining audio and visual material in my teaching. My field of study is Social and Cultural Anthropology.

Do you want to improve your English? Need to prepare for an upcoming IELTS or TOEFL test?
I can help you!
My name is Michiel. I was an English teacher in Vietnam for nearly 5 years.
I have a lot of experience working both with kids and adults. I have helped many students get better at English
and improve their grade for an IELTS or TOEFL test.

As a teacher, I try not to talk too much myself. I want to give my students the materials and tools they need to discover the language and the rules themselves.
I want to give my students the opportunity to speak as much as possible during our classes.

After a first lesson, where we'll find out your level and talk about what you want to improve, we will follow a personalized course plan that fits your needs.
Don't hesitate to contact me. See you soon!

This class can also be taught online through Skype or Zoom.

As someone with degrees in both philosophy and psychology my background allows me to draw on principles from the science of learning to help students make meaningful progress without wasted effort. In my past experience as a tutor and special educator, I have learned to create lessons that are efficient, focused, and tailored to each learner’s goals.

I study other languages myself, so I understand firsthand the challenges that come with language learning. I use that experience to offer practical strategies that help students overcome common obstacles and stay motivated. Whether you're looking to build confidence in conversation, break out of a vocabulary-learning rut, improve your writing, or sharpen your understanding of grammar, I can help guide your progress with clarity and purpose. (Bonus: It so happens that I am originally from New York City, so if you're looking to learn with someone who has a clear and recognizably American accent, you’re in the right place).
