About Me

Hello, my name is Charles and I’ve been a professional English teacher since 2008. I'm from the southern part of USA. However, I am currently living in Korea because my wife is Korean. I'm a sports fan, especially baseball and football. I also enjoy watching a good fantasy/sci-fi drama. I have been to about ten countries and can honestly say that one is not better than the other. I have met some wonderful people from all around the world and enjoyed some great local food while traveling.

Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching English for more than 14 years. The thing I love most about it is helping others to reach their goals.
I have been fortunate enough to teach executives from some of the top companies in the world such as Coca-Cola, Google, Pfizer, and IBM. I helped them to develop vocabulary and to improve their listening and speaking skills.
I have also helped students prepare for official exams such as TOEFL, IETLS, and TOEIC Speaking. I have helped learners improve their scores by two or more band points on the IELTS.
My lessons & teaching style
I like to start my lessons off with a short conversation just to help get the student focused on using English. Then, I like to review and/or check homework from the previous lesson. After that we move into the lesson lead-in, followed by some supporting activities to help with understanding and learning the target language. Students can ask questions at anytime. Once we have done a bit of practice, I often use a role play or discussion activity to practice in a real context.

This is my third lesson with Charles. He will provide learning materials in advance according to my situation and give detailed explanations in class. He is good at teaching in an interactive way rather than just lecturing, he is a very professional and attentive teacher!

We had an interesting session with plenty of topics. I spoke a lot that I like in practicing my English. And Charles had a big list of questions helping me to converse easily. So he's added to my favourite teachers list on Italki :)

This is my 30th class with Charles. with his help, I have made great improvement in speaking, listening and grammar. He is a professional and warm-hearted person as well as a responsible and reliable teacher. I think we have become good friends rather than just teacher-student relationship
