Native English Tutor | 5 Years of Experience | American Certified English Tutor

From 42 C$ /h

Hi, thanks for checking out my profile! My name is Mitchell, I'm a certified English tutor and native speaker from Los Angeles, California. I'm currently teaching English full time and living in Portland, Oregon.

I love getting to meet and talk to people from different countries and cultural backgrounds. In addition to being a tutor, I’m an amateur musician and a lover of all things artistic. I’m always very happy to recommend TV series, films, podcasts, books and music with my students. 😊

Any questions? Message me here on Apprentus!

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications as well as a certification in TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages). My experience with ESL tutoring ranges from peer tutoring in college to private lessons and online lessons.

Immersive conversations are the best way to learn any language, so my classes focus on verbal communication and teach casual, professional, and academic language. Outside of tutoring, I have worked in marketing, public relations and community engagement. Our classes can focus on job interviews, professional language, office etiquette, networking, and so on.

I take the time to understand my students' goals. Whether you want to do well in school, speak English more fluently your with friends and colleagues, or communicate effectively in business environments, I'm here to help.

Our classes will be comfortable, fun and effective. You’ll receive constructive help for every issue and we’ll celebrate every success along the way. And, of course, you can always ask me questions.

About Me

Hi! My name is Mitchell and I am an American living in Copenhagen with my lovely wife. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications and a certification in TESOL/TEFL. In addition to speaking English my whole life, I speak decent Spanish. My past experience is as a peer tutor in college where I specialized in English writing assignments, and many of my students spoke English as a second language. Outside of tutoring, I have worked in social media advertising and community engagement, so I know quite a bit about American office language.

I take care to understand my students' goals, whether they be to do well in school, speak English more fluently with friends and colleagues, or to communicate effectively in business environments. I will help you find the best version of your message and the best way to share it with others.

About me: I am a geek for English literature as well as classic films and all types of music (particularly jazz and hip hop). I am NOT a Trump supporter, I love people of all cultures.

英語を学ぶことは、単語を覚えることではなく、自分を表現する力を育てることです。
In my classes, you’ll learn how to speak English naturally and confidently, step by step.

We’ll focus on:
• 💬 Real conversation practice for daily and business situations
• 🎧 Listening and pronunciation for clear, natural communication
• 📝 Grammar and vocabulary explained simply and visually
• 🌍 Cultural understanding to speak English with confidence abroad

I’m a multilingual teacher who lives in Japan and understands the challenges Japanese learners face — especially with pronunciation, sentence flow, and confidence. My goal is to help you feel relaxed, understood, and motivated while learning English you can actually use.

Let’s build your English fluency together — one natural conversation at a time.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

Spanish can be hard to learn on our own, and always it's much better to learn with someone who is native to it. Practice reading and writing at your own pace, and learn how to speak as a native, practice listening and conversation how you like it. Keep up with your goals!

Learning with dyslexia, ADHD, or any other learning difficulty can be frustrating. Especially when you are expected to study in the same way as everyone else, despite your brain just working differently. I know this from personal experience.

I am a law student with dyslexia and ADHD, and over the years I have developed practical strategies that have helped me study, stay organised, and succeed academically. I now want to share those tools with children, teenagers and adults who may be facing similar challenges.

For younger students, I can provide homework and study support, helping them understand how they learn best and how to use practical tools such as mind maps, flashcards, digital resources, structured study sessions and focus techniques. If they already have a diagnosis, I can also help them understand the accommodations and learning tools available to them at school and encourage them to become more confident in communicating their needs.

Just as importantly, I understand the frustration that can come from teachers, classmates or others misunderstanding dyslexia, ADHD as well as other learning difficulties. My aim is to create a supportive, judgement-free environment where students can ask questions, experiment with different study methods and build confidence in their abilities.

My sessions are also suitable for adults who were diagnosed later in life, or who never had the opportunity to learn strategies for managing dyslexia or ADHD. Together, we can work on organisation, studying, reading, writing, planning and finding practical systems that fit your everyday life.

English & Italian lessons

I also offer English and Italian conversation, tutoring and study support for students with or without learning difficulties.

Having studied in both the IB/English-language school system and the Italian state school system, I am familiar with the different expectations, teaching styles and challenges students may encounter in both.

In summary, I would love to help with:

English and Italian conversation
Homework and schoolwork
Study organisation and learning strategies
Dyslexia/DSA and ADHD-friendly study techniques
Mind maps, flashcards and free digital study tools
Reading and writing support
Building confidence and independence in studying
Cambridge English exam preparation

My goal is not to force students into one method, but to help them discover the tools and techniques that work best for them and approach academic work and later their professional lives with confidence and security.

As soon as you book your session, don't worry about your child's homework.
