About Me
There are still openings for new students starting in mid-April.
If you're interested, send me a message.
You're great at your job. You have worked hours and hours and have solved really hard problems. But in meetings, when it’s time to explain your thinking, you stay quiet. You tell yourself, "I need to say something" but it's too late, someone else has already spoken. The conversation moves on, and you think to yourself, "Why didn’t I just say it?" It feels really discouraging.
Later, you see that the person that spoke up is getting recognized. It’s not that they’re better than you—you know they’re not. But they sound confident, clear, and that’s what people remember.
Sometimes there are the moments when you do speak, but when you do, the words don’t come out the way you wanted. Maybe it’s in a design review, where you are trying to explain why your approach makes sense. Maybe it’s in a one-on-one with your manager, where you are showing the impact of your work. But as you are explaining, you hear yourself sound unconfident. Maybe you made a small mistake, or you paused for too long, and now, inside, you're thinking, "Are they focusing on what I'm saying or on my English?"
I work with engineers, game developers, product managers, designers, and other skilled professionals who know they have the skills but feel English is blocking their way.
Our lessons are focused on your specific situations, and we include psychology, accountability, and habit training. The focus is on USING and POLISHING your English so you can do what's important and feel good about performing at work.
It’s not just about improving your English, it's about having the tools to make sure people listen to your message.
Send me a message and let me know, what is your biggest problem with English right now?

My trial lessons
See you in our first lesson! We will talk about your goals and problems with English. I will also share with you how the classes work and why I think they can help you with your problems. At the end, we will have some conversation to start getting to know each other in order to have an idea of what kinds of topics are interesting for you to talk about. I look forward to helping!

I had 3 lessons with Michael already and I liked it a lot because I become more confident in speaking English. That's why I will continue to improve my English with Michael. And I can recommend him as a professional, responsible teacher, oriented on my personal needs and goals in studying English.
