Sou americano e trago 11 anos de experiência, com uma especialização rara: 5 anos treinando executivos do setor financeiro e vivência prática em um banco corporativo, eu não ensino apenas o idioma —

I could already speak English before I studied with Michael. But I decided to contract him because I heard he was the next step after learning English to be able to speak fluently and for professional environments. I learned what everyone meant and I agree with them. Michael is the logical next step after learning English. He prepared me to speak with foreigners and deal with cultural differences.

Michael was easy to work with. He was very attentive and professional. He understood my objective, explained how he would deliver the results he planned, created a roadmap and set milestones. The entire experience was like working with a project manager using Agile methodologies to deliver timed results over a period of months. He developed his own KPIs and in the end delivered exactly what he proposed. He is incredible. He is the best teacher I've had and will ever have.

It was great to work with Michael. He speaks in his natural style as an American. He doesn't rush the conversation and he trains how to pronounce like an American. It was so valuable to work with him.

Hello, my name is Flavia and if you are an exec who speaks English today but is not able to advance your English for whatever reason. Try Michael. I was stuck for many years at B1/B2 level English but after I hired Michael I finally made it to C2 level English. Thank you Michael.

I am a business strategist in the commercial area. I needed to improve my English urgently. Just like many professionals here in Brazil, I learned English in school, then I hired a private teacher, then I hired many companies and I never improved my English this way. The classes that focussed on grammar were not helping me with my goal. The classes that focussed on conversation were too casual and boring. I didn't need to speak English for traveling or for vacations. I needed to present strategic plans to my leaders and they are all foreigners who do not speak Portuguese. I had improve my English so that I could keep my job or fail. I asked my friends, I asked my colleagues, I asked everyone I knew to recommend a native English teacher who also worked in the corporate world or to recommend someone in corporate who could teach me English. I was desperate. One of my bosses recommended Michael. OMG, Michael saved my job. He is the only teacher I found who also has professional experience working for a corporate company. He is an American teacher. He worked for companies in finance and tech. He also worked in many countries. What I thought was impossible to find, he had. Michael helped me for one year. Now I can present data, I can give meetings, I can speak and write confidently, I finally found what I needed. I recommend Michael to all executives who need to use English for work.

I was recently hired at a new company thanks Michael's training. I told Michael I wanted to prepare for a job interview and he quickly created a training program so that I could practice using his storytelling techniques to answer difficult to interview questions. He actually came to my home and trained me how to use my office more professionally so I could have a better look for the interview. The interview was so easy after his training.

Michael is a great teacher. He has the unique experience of working with VPs in many sectors. That was important for me because he is also like a hub for networking with other executives. He has hosted a few executive meetings and they were all really valuable for networking. I met leaders in fintech and also lots of leaders in tech.

Many years ago my boss who was the president of the company I worked at recommended that I work with Michael. The recommendation I got was simple, Michael's the best. When I called him he didn't only teach me English, he also taught me Spanish since I worked for a Spanish company. He really was the best. I was happy to recommend him to everyone else. I was the perfect example for everyone to see his results because my English was so basic and after Michael helped me, I could speak both English and Spanish. His method makes so much sense and his approach is really effective. Because of Michael, after I left the company, I was able to increase my salary many times in my career and the opportunities that I got after were all so incredible. It's really amazing what can happen when you know how to speak English.

Hello, my name is Carlos and I met Michael when I worked at Cetelem. We contracted Michael because he is an American teacher and we were surprised by the value we were able to get from him. He could even help us with our demands here at the bank. After he worked with us, we recommended him to many of our colleagues at our mother company Banco BNP Paribas and he also helped them with their work demands.

Mike is an asset to professionals in finance. I work for an investment bank and because of his professional background in finance and the fact that he is an American, I use his services to advance my work and communicate with our American partners. You will not find a professional as skilled as Mike, I guarantee you that.

Hi, my name is Andressa. I'm a psychologist and I wanted to improve my English to prepare to move to the United States. Because Michael is an American, it was the perfect training for me. Now I live in New York City and it was an easy transition because of Michael. In the beginning Michael politely turned me away because he focuses on only on executive language training, but after I told him I was moving to New York City, he accepted me and I was actually really lucky he changed his mind. In my classes with him he didn't speak to me in that "teacher voice" Brazilian teachers use. Instead, he spoke in his natural and native style and because of that it was so easy for me to adapt to NYC. I am so grateful to him and I recommend him to anyone who needs real improvements.

In my role managing international tax compliance and reporting to leadership outside the country, I faced a big challenge: I needed to explain highly complex technical data very quickly and clearly in English. Someone at my company told me about Michael, an American English teacher and how he is the perfect solution. He really gave me the exact tools to transform heavy reports into clear, strategic messages. He really is the perfect solution.

There is a huge demand for Michael here at Bradesco, especially with our C-suite executives. He teaches the strategic language to communicate with international colleagues. Because Michael only works with B2 level speakers and up at my company, it took me a long time to be able to study with him because I was a B1 student for years. However, after working with him for just a few months, he already helped me reach competence to speak in seminars and public events representing Bradesco. As a teacher, he is patient but also strict, highly professional, and organized. Plus, his skills for note-taking are the best I have ever seen. He is an elite consultant.

Working with Michael was an excellent decision for my career. I have worked in BIG4 and multinational companies for over 10 years, and I can say Michael truly understands the corporate world. His training is practical, intelligent, and perfect for high-stakes business conversations. He helped me improve my professional vocabulary and communication strategy for complex projects. If you work in a multinational environment, he is definitely the best teacher on SuperProf.

Hello. My name is Diogo and I work in recovery and compliance at Santander. Before I met Michael, I could not find an English teacher with a background in finance. I thought it was an impossible mission. All the classes I saw before meeting Michael were focussed on grammar and totally unrelated to my work. I did not just need to learn vocabulary, I needed to do my work in English and I could not find someone who understood business strategy and finance. Finally, I met Michael in 2019 and I was surprised to find exactly what I needed and more. He helped elaborate my emails, write policies that met the standards of my bank, and improve my email etiquette. He even joined some of my calls and surprised me even more when he lead a conversation in Spanish. This guy is amazing.

I have studied English for decades. Michael is with no doubt the best instructor I have had. His explanations were clear, his notes and feedback was complete and because he is an American, I was able to improve my comprehension immensely. I am a director and having advanced English is mandatory. I was finally able to advance my English to the level I have worked years with other schools to achieve, all thanks to Michael's lessons.

Hello, my name is Paula. I am a Director in sales and Michael honestly took my communication skills beyond my expectations. Working in this competitive and demanding area requires not only English but it also requires knowing how to communicate with people from different cultures. Michael speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese because he travels and adapts to different cultures. He is not just an American teacher here in São Paulo, he is a multicultural hub of acquired knowledge. He is my secret weapon.

Michael is great. We once worked together at Santander, but even before that, I knew how amazing his work was. I recommended many of my professional colleagues at Santander to study with him because his lessons are excellent. Everyone loved the results. Later, I was very happy when he officially joined the bank because he is also very knowledgeable in finance. He is a fantastic professional, and he knows exactly how to help people grow. He is the best choice!

Before Michael came to Santander, he was my teacher. Working and studying with them was a great experience. I was his student for some years, and the results were amazing. I went from a B1 level to a C1 level in English. His classes are practical, interesting, and perfect for the professional world. He will give you the confidence you need to speak at a high level. I recommend him 100% to anyone who wants to grow.

I worked with Michael in finance, and for a few years, I was also his student. I met him as my teacher then hired him to work at my bank. He is an amazing professional and teacher!

He also has a lot of business savvy and a strategic mindset, so he always understands the big picture. He is very goal-oriented and always focus on getting the best results. His lessons helped me a lot in my career, and I highly recommend him.

Now, my communication is much more interesting and clear. Because of this great experience, I recommended my entire tax team to study with him. Everyone on the team loved the results. Michael even helped us restructure our communication methods in the tax department. He's not just an American English teacher, he is a business solution.

Michael has been an absolute gem for my international business. In global tax discussions, precise speech and cultural differences are very important. Michael came and helped to train me specifically for these crucial situations, helping me improve my strategy and use the exact language I needed for complex cross-border conversations.

I was lucky to find Michael because, as a CFO at a growing fintech, I needed to improve my English for financial meetings, board presentations, and conversations with international investors. Michael is an American who also worked in finance here in Brazil and he speaks three languages. So, he totally understood what I needed. His method is excellent for financial executives. He understands the fast world of fintech and finance. We didn't just practice general English, we focused on how to explain complex financial metrics, funding rounds, and regulatory challenges clearly and with confidence. He teaches you the exact strategic vocabulary you need to sound authoritative in front of international stakeholders.

There are no better words to describe Michael besides "The best". I started classes with Michael because, as the Tax Director at General Mortors, I needed to elevate my English to lead large-scale industrial operations, manage supply chain projects, and communicate with global teams effectively. Michael's approach is perfect for directors and industrial leaders. He doesn't waste time on basic language exercises. Instead, his method focuses on the real-world communication you need for complex project management, negotiating with global suppliers, and presenting operational results to regional directors. He teaches you how to look and sound like a leader in English.

I super recommend Michael to any professional who wants true results and an American teacher.
