About Me

InterestsSports & FitnessFoodFilms & TV Series
Hey there! I’m Chris—a Miami-born English tutor with Cuban-Puerto Rican roots 🇨🇺🇵🇷. Fluent in Spanish and exploring Korean, I enjoy bridging cultures through conversations. My diverse background (from sports photography to customer service) fuels my creative, student-focused approach. I specialize in helping people gain confidence in English—whether through casual chats or deep discussions. I'm a creative, honest, and calm individual, and that naturally reflects in my teaching style. I enjoy thinking outside the box, so my methods, perspectives, and explanations are often unique and unconventional—offering students a fresh, engaging approach to language learning. 🚨 Please note: I typically work with adults. If you are between 11 and 17 years old, please message me before booking a session. 🚨 In my humble opinion, one of the most important roles of a tutor is to help students become independent learners. That’s one of my top priorities. I also strive to create interesting, meaningful conversations that are not only useful for language development but also enjoyable. Our sessions will be fun, engaging, and full of energy. I’ll gently push you out of your comfort zone so you can grow faster and gain confidence. I’ll share tips and fresh perspectives to help you improve, and our conversations will be interesting, practical, and easy to apply in real life.

Chris is an innate teacher! He is calm, honest, creative, and straightforward. He befriends his students and genuinely cares about helping and providing a personalized lesson for each one. Chris understands the process of learning a foreign language and offers tips on how to improve students' English proficiency independently of the tutor, outside the classroom. He is perfect for students seeking a teacher for natural, interesting, and useful conversations. He truly knows how to maintain an enjoyable conversation! Finally, in addition to all the compliments that I and the other students have already expressed, it's also important to mention that Chris is very responsible, doesn't cancel classes, and is super punctual. In short, he is amazing! I enthusiastically recommend classes with Chris, as you get what you pay for!

As usual it was another great and interesting conversation class! We've talked about politics, the Democratic and Republican parties in the US and tdifferences in their views, languages, my future, propaganda, public speaking and other interesting topics! I didn't feel bored, it was fun and exciting! I'll book another class with him whenever I want. It was nice to see him again and speak out on interesting things

I honestly don't know how many lessons I've had with Chris anymore I just keep on booking and booking and never keep track, his lessons are just the best and he can keep a group of 3-4 students going on with different questions and topics. I recommend him, especially his group lessons as they are much more high-quality than Italki's group lessons and they are more compact. Overall, my experience with him was like none other before on Italki.

I've had a great conversational class with Chris! Today we've talked about many different topics. Chris discussed my English language learning goals, my weak areas and he gave me great pieces of advice on how to improve my speaking, vocabulary and grammar. He gave me useful advice on how to improve my English level. We've also talked about culture, misconceptions about the USA and Russia, things that I like or not about America, my hobbies, languages and other interesting topics. He gave me feedback on my English after the class and he gave me useful strategies to learn a foreign language, for example: get more knowledge and information about different topics, watch movies and useful content on a particular topic and practice speaking with natives. He is nice, kind and engaging in general. I hope to book a class with him again soon! It was nice to have a great conversation

The best teacher ever Very patient, competent and stimulating, he understands exactly what a student needs and knows how to guide the lesson accordingly. His questions are thought-provoking and help to expand vocabulary and improve student’s speaking fluency. I’ve made great progress in just a few lessons with him, and I really enjoy the way he challenges me to think and express myself more precisely. Highly recommended!
