Michael

I’m a 36-year-old Journalism graduate and qualified English teacher with 10 years of teaching experience. My main focus is IELTS preparation, particularly for intermediate to advanced learners who want to boost their speaking and writing scores.

I love getting to know about different countries and cultures. I'll be moving to Japan in the coming year, so at the moment I'm very interested in Japanese culture. If you'd like to chat about writers my favorites are: George Orwell, Christopher Hitchens, John Steinbeck, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Alain De Botton, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Roald Dahl, Sam Harris, among others. I also love the music of Bob Dylan, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, The Smiths, Bruce Springsteen and Oasis
