Experience
Dear Students and Parents, Welcome to University Tutor ! My name is Michele (Mee.kay.lay), and I am a Tutor with professional teaching experience with Adults and Children spanning from Europe to Asia. As English Tutor at National Taiwan University at Taipei, I trained undergraduates and graduates on holding advanced conversations about multiple topics in a classroom-set. As Italian teacher at Le Monde Taipei, I enriched students' 1-to-1 learning experience with customized handouts and multimedia content based on their individual level and learning objectives. Moreover, I maximized their exposure to Italian through my own "Self-Guided Curriculum For Daily Language Training" and online workshops. With reference to my experience with children (age 5-15), I triggered their curiosity for Foreign Languages via play-based learning methods. I successfully introduced them to level A1 vocabulary of English, French, Spanish and German as established by the "Common European Framework of Reference For Languages". I use a student-centered teaching style that pushes students to become active participants of the learning experience. I conduct preliminary student learning-objectives workshops to assess individual level and interest in order to provide adequate, effective and interesting learning material, which keeps students challenged but not overwhelmed. Because teaching is a two-way process, I regularly encourage students to share their feedback so that I can constantly improve my instructional system to best suit them. I have a very flexible calendar. Though I do have a 24-hour cancellation policy, I offer makeup classes on a personal base. Please, do not hesitate to contact me for any question or further information. I am here for you. My rule #1 is YOU WILL SUCCEED!!
