Teaching
Alice, European Parliament library:
"I have been improving my English with Michelle for the last two years. I am so grateful for the quality of her teaching, which allowed me to adapt quickly to a mostly English-speaking professional environment, but also to go further into my areas of interest through the use of English. Each lesson is tailor-made and comes with detailed feedback sheets covering pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. Thank you Michelle for your precious work."

Nicolas: "Thank you, Michelle, it was a great pleasure to take English lessons with you.
Michelle has a good method and she is very patient with her students.
Now I have a working base to continue practicing and I am less afraid to have conversations in English."

Michelle is also a good mentor and facilitator. She cares about the well-being of her students and is open to their questions and concerns.
Her passion for her work and dedication to her students are admirable. She has excellent communication and teaching skills and her empathy makes her an ideal teacher."

Louis, HR & Payroll Coordinator:
"I first would like to thank you for your patience, knowledge and of course, lessons.
It was every single time a real pleasure to have our one hour of training, games and discussions.
In parallel of the language, you also taught me to trust my abilities and to focus on important matters.
This combination made my English and general communication skills grow up from shy beginner to comfortable professional.
You carried me on your shoulders during this journey, explaining the traps and tricks, making every lesson a customised reinforcement.
Today, I’m able to walk, I have the tools and the methodology to keep progressing."

"I really recommend the courses with Michelle Mildiner.
It’s a great learning experience!"

Nicola, Senior Policy Officer: "I attended a 10 lessons on English pronunciation in 2023.
Michelle is an excellent teacher, very attentive and flexible to understand our professional needs. What I appreciated most is her method: sha taught us using the phonetic alphabet to explain us the different sounds. This was brilliant for advanced English speakers who need to improve their pronunciation. It was really the upgrade I was looking for my level of English, and she is able to adapt her course for mother tongue in Italian (like me) or colleagues who are French and Dutch-speaking native speakers.
Her method is methodologically rigorous and adaptable to different contents. On top of that, her LinkedIn profile is super interesting to know more about English."

Maria, legal financial services: "An exceptional teacher who is both knowledgeable and pedagogic in her lessons."

Emanuela, Financial & Business Administration / PMO Analyst: “Since I started having classes with Michelle, learning English has been much more enjoyable for me. Michelle is more than skilled, she has a gift for teaching that allows her to share her knowledge very clearly! Always encouraging me and promoting my self-confidence I could quickly see my English fluency improve thanks to private lessons with Michelle. I highly recommend her as an intelligent, multilingual and organized teacher, who is passionate about teaching!”
***************************************
Luc: "Michelle, I know that preparing a course is not easy and takes a lot of time. You do it very well and very professionally. For that I say a big thank you!"
**************************************
Pierre: "I see a regular, active attendance of my classmates to your [conversation] courses. It's a sign of our interest and enthousiasm for the way you are teaching us. You start by launching a dialogue or discussions about current or historical subjects. Sometimes you mix your teaching with poetry or lyrics. And when we make phonetic or grammatical mistakes, you correct us in a positive way."
****************************************
Paul: "Our English teacher, a 'native'…gives exercises in class and corrects immediately with a very quick and very clear explanation. She takes discreet notes and improves our vocabulary. The week after, she gives us feedback…which is very important and often left aside by teachers. Her classes make us eager to learn and keep returning."
****************************************
Luz: "Michelle is an excellent teacher! Thanks to her classes, I am improving my speaking skills and confidence. She is a very nice, kind and patient person. Do not hesitate to choose her :)"
****************************************
Dorcyna: "Michelle is an incredible teacher!! She always puts me at ease, particularly by concentrating on my strengths, but also helping with my weaknesses. She has a profound knowledge of the key elements of English (especially grammar) and always prepares personalised lessons, related to my areas of interest. She is friendly, patient and always gives detailed and very useful feedback. I highly recommend her."
****************************************
Sara, Policy Officer: "Michelle Mildiner is a true professional. Together we reflected and practised the correct pronunciation of some words that I had always taken for granted.
What I take home with me is definitely the pronunciation of some words and diphthongs that I was unsure of and am now trying to improve. Definitely doing it while having fun is the key to learning without difficulty and for that I have to thank the teacher and my Italian fellow travellers."
****************************************
Petra: "Michelle always chooses great topics to learn the language and she is always well prepared for the lessons. I can sincerely recommend her."
