“I started private classes with Michael after having him in a class situation. In private classes, we could move at my own pace, and immediately I asked him to work with my 10-year old daughter to improve her English grammar, pronunciation and understanding.
We arranged classes in home for [her] and her best friend who is also from Brazil. Her English [grade] improved so much, and she enjoyed classes so well that we scheduled Skype classes for [her] while we were in Brazil over the summer. Now, we both can't wait to get back to Miami to start again with him, in person!”

“I loved working with Michael. I didn't want the usual kind of English classes. I wanted to go out into Miami, into real life situations, and practice my English. We had lessons at Vizcaya, in the Design District, at museums and over lunch or coffee. He had me do almost all of the talking.... My English improved in every way. ”

“My English lessons with Michael have been extremely helpful.
I consider myself a good English speaker, but with some problems in pronunciation. Michael created a completely customized program for me. He has helped to close the gaps I had, and
I am pronouncing English in the perfect way. This work has triggered an improvement in my reading [and comprehension] from 80% to 99%, as well. I strongly recommend Michael as an English teacher.”

ABOUT ME
My name is Michael. I have spent over 15 years creating programs that really work!
You won't just speak English "out of a book" -- you will practice conversation, refine pronunciation, and learn to speak the popular words and phrases to suit your life situations and that best meet your specific needs.
​
When I arrived in Brasil in 2002, I had intended to spend all my time writing a
memoir about my life in New York City,
where I lived for more than 20 years.
Within months, I found myself using my English and Law degrees to teach business professionals, college/high school students, and retail workers both privately and via schools, independent language services,
and at corporations, like Castrol Oil.
​
I love teaching English, and I learned quickly the obstacles of my students and pitfalls of some programs, which had left many
dissatisfied with marginal results. From that moment, I started developing my own method for teaching English, based on my personal
experience as an American student from kindergarten through law school and on the job. Business, academic, creative, legal, advertising, musical -- I've worked with a variety of forms of the language, extensively and professionally.
​
I lived in South America, but my students span the globe, from Russia through Europe to Asia, and even as close to home as (French) Canada, to boot. While in New York, I worked with actors to help them lose their accents for auditions, while assisting others on improving dialects for certain roles. I understand the sounds we make, and know the drills and skills to improve them!
Let me help you with your English. Whether you are a medical professional preparing for a conference, a student preparing for exams or essays for class, an ESOL adult wanting to communicate better or one interested in learning/improving while living here in the USA, I can tune into your specific needs, and provide the individualized help you require.
​
I want you to achieve your goals, both in the short and long term. My goal is to get you speaking, understanding, and keep you practicing the best American English, with the most popular pronunciation, words and phrasing possible.
​
Top-notch communication awaits on the tip of your tongue!
