Michelle K - Tutor in Vergesig
I am an energetic, driven and organised individual with a passion for analysing and understanding human and societal behaviours through development. This curiosity made me encounter the world of education during my studies and once given the opportunity, I was determined to finish my TEFL certificate in two weeks. Working with children is phenomenal, I continuously use my knowledge from a Social Science degree about human and societal development and behaviour, community service involvement and professional teaching experience to nurture and expand the abilities of all the children I encounter. My creativity and analytical skills are the foundation to my success.

TEFL
I am an ESL teacher with over four years of experience. When I began my own TEFL course, I got so excited I completed an 150 hour TEFL certificate in two weeks with no marks below 90%. I have been in many classroom situations with many different ages: early childhood to adult. Nothing is ever the same and as a TEFL educator, you constantly need to be creating new and creative methods of teaching. I can easily help you with that.

English Language and Literature
I am a passionate educator with over 4 years of educational experience as an English Language Teacher. What has helped me develop my teaching abilities is being able to have taught in different countries and experience a multitude of differences between people and cultures, who all have the same goal: learn English. I have taught every type of English lesson imaginable: grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, phonics, listening and literacy. Every time I will adapt and change, bring in new methods and interesting activities for effective learning that is individualised.
