About Me

Hello!

My name is Christopher. I’m from the UK.

I have 7 years teaching experience.

I have taught students both young and old. I’m happy to teach any age and any level.

I enjoy teaching children and I am good at keeping them focused through fun learning activities throughout the class.

I have prepared students for the B2 First, C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency exams, as well as IELTS. All my students passed with good marks, achieving the results they required.

Some of my younger students, including students from Hong Kong, needed training for secondary school interviews, which I duly helped them with. I have also helped prepare students for job interviews.

If you want someone who can start and guide you through a conversation, will listen to you, offer encouragement and will always correct your mistakes, look no further.

If you would like a teacher to give you a structured course to help you fill in gaps in your learning, I have text book materials and prior experience.

Many of my students have said how much more confident and fluent they feel after taking classes with me. I am sure that you will also say the same.

Thank you for looking at my profile!

-PLEASE NOTE: My policy is to charge students if I am not given 24 hour prior notice for non-attendance.-
