Micah Steffes Tutor Profile
This tutor is currently on leave.
Hello Friends! I am Micah and I teach English :) Here are two truths and one lie about me:
1.) I am also a ballet teacher.
2.) I have a cat named Jiji and a fish named Ghibli.
3.) I love to cook tasty dishes from Japan.
Did you guess which one is a lie?
I really am a ballet teacher and I really do enjoy Japanese home cooking (I especailly love Kitchen Princess Bamboo and Kimono Mom on youtube!).
Unfortunately, I do not have any pets. That said, if we had a cat, we would name him Jiji after our favorite film, Kiki's Delivery Service. I love studio Ghibli and so does my son!

More about my teaching:
I am CELTA-certified. I teach with the "communicative" approach. All lessons use authentic material. My #1 goal is to increase your exposure to real-life English. I love to teach. Let's have a good time together!

More about my life:
I am from South Dakota in the United States. When I am not traveling (or when there is a global pandemic) I stay in my small town near Mount Rushmore with my husband and my three-year-old son.
I also love to travel and meet new people. I have lived in China and speak Chinese (中国学生: 大家好!!) and I have travelled all over India and Japan. I also try to speak Japanese, but... 私は日本語がまだまだです!
Here are some photos from our last trip to Japan! <3
My son waiting for the Keikyū and eating anpan~!
Boarding the cable car to Mt. Hiei to view Lake Biwa~!
Casual ballet on the beach near Miyajima~!
I also love yoga. I am a yoga and fitness instructor.
Can you guess where this photo was taken?
At the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, USA. Looks like snow, doesn't it?
Here is my son being a "copy cat." Monkey see, monkey do!
Cheers!
