About Me

Hello everyone! I'm Michael, and I come from New York City . I have a Master's degree in Teaching English as a Second Language. I've been teaching English for the past 12 years in various places around the world . I'm here to help you learn English in a friendly and accessible way, so don't hesitate to join me on this language-learning journey!

Are you struggling to understand native speakers' conversations? Do you find yourself feeling nervous when using English in group or professional settings? Trust me, I understand how you feel. With teaching experience across four countries, I've personally navigated the frustration of communicating in a foreign language. That's why I've designed a dynamic curriculum designed to improve your speaking fluency, enhance grammatical precision, and sharpen listening comprehension. My goal is to empower you with the confidence you need to excel in English communication.

I have the most experience teaching in the following categories:

-Workplace English
-Intermediate Conversational English and Grammar (A2-B2)
-Advanced Conversational English and Grammar (C1-C2)
-TOEFL Preparation
-IELTS Preparation

(I do not teach children)

If you have any questions, please feel free to message me here on Verbling to discuss further.

Good luck in your language learning journey,

Michael Horvilleur
