I’m a professional teacher who loves travel, art and of course language! I currently live in southern China. I have been fortunate enough to live in many fascinating places, from Antigua, Guatemala to greater Tokyo, Japan. I love to explore many places and am especially fond of anything in the outdoors. When I’m not in class you’ll often hear a splash! That’s right, I seek out lakes and rivers and love to paddleboard, swim or snorkel. I also love to hike as well. However, it is my goal in class to hear about your experiences and I love many things and am interested in a wide variety of topics, from technology and marketing to local cuisine and decor! (Teaching note: I'm only teaching young adult to adult learners at this time. 温馨提示:我现在不教孩子) 敢试.交流是我们的希望! I have lived abroad for most of the last ten years, spending a great deal of time in China, Korea, Japan and Guatemala. I have taught in almost all of these places with a wide range of students, both in ages and English level. This has included primary school students, middle schoolers, college undergraduates and adults engaged in business and science. I have taught large classes of students in writing, speaking, grammar and interviewing skills. I have also conducted many conversant classes, one on one, focusing on a student's particular interest and focus. As I have studied foreign languages myself, I have a strong understanding of the challenges and joys of second language learning. My goal as a teacher is for you to have a comfortable, constructive environment to learn in and practice...

Craig is such a patient and energetic teacher who has been helping me improve my English! We discussed how AI is impacting the world, society, and the workplace. I practiced expressing my thoughts and explored whether AI could fully replace humans in specific situations — topics I find genuinely fascinating to discuss. I'm looking forward to the next class!

Second class with Craig – he’s patient and always encouraging. We talked so much about music, and then we found out we both like James Bond ! He knew the last film title, the actor… everything. So happy to meet someone who shares the same interests.

Craig is an amazing English teacher and conversation partner. He is always highly engaged during lessons, very patient, attentive, and genuinely interested in the topics his students care about. He asks thoughtful and accurate questions that make conversations feel natural and meaningful instead of formal practice sessions. What makes his classes special is the atmosphere he creates - relaxed, friendly, and comfortable. Talking with him feels more like speaking with a good friend than attending a lesson. My wife even jokes that before our classes I look like a man getting ready for a date

Great class again with Craig! This time we discuss about a lot on my past experiences on basketball team and my college life. It’s interesting to share those stories in English. Thanks for Craig to guide me through.
