Michael Marschner in a nutshell
I believe the best way to learn to properly speak English is to engage with the great works of literature (novels, poetry, short stories, etc) as well as
more mundane sources such as newspapers, magazines, and social media slang. English is a vast buffet of meanings, as long as you know how to tell them apart.

I believe the best way to learn to properly speak English is to engage with the great works of literature (novels, poetry, short stories, etc) as well as
more mundane sources such as newspapers, magazines, and social media slang. English is a vast buffet of meanings, as long as you know how to tell them apart.

I begin with an assessment to figure out what your current strengths and weaknesses are, and then we proceed from there, depending on your goals.

For spoken English, I push my students to work on enunciation, pronunciation, and pace of verbal delivery, as I believe those are very important. I likewise stress vocabulary acquisition and usage. My primary focus is on the spoken sounds of the language, and the intended meaning.

For written English, I stress proper punctuation, syntax, all the common grammatical considerations, up to and including the diagraming of sentences, if needed.

I have tutored every skill level from beginner to post graduate.

Lessons are as follows:

40 minutes per session (at least 2x per week is recommended for beginners)
Online via Zoom, Facebook, Instagram, or whatever platform your prefer
Sessions are designed individually for each student, but the time is divided between practice reading aloud, writing prompts, and whatever Q&A is necessary. I am open to meeting whenever best fits my students needs, 7 days a week.
