Work experience
Michael’s teaching career started as a kayak coach in 1985. Since then, at primary and secondary schools, he has directed two PE departments, a geography department and a philosophy, religion & ethics department, and has taught a great deal of English, focusing particularly upon special needs at both ends of the ability range.
He has also taught at Univerzita Karlova and Oxford University, and has trained teachers for the Italian government.
His goal is for everyone in the class to be happy, including the teacher.
