Hello! I’m Charles Bishop, also known as Colton. I’m from the USA, born in Athens, Georgia, and raised in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. I graduated from Carolina University in May 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in Christian Ministry. In February 2022, I moved to Bogotá, Colombia, to teach English professionally after earning a 120-hour TEFL/TESOL/TESL teaching certification from Oxford Seminars. After gaining two years of experience teaching business English in Colombia, I decided to become a freelancer to focus on private students and now have the opportunity to travel to a new country every few months, currently in Barcelona, Spain. Book a class with me and start speaking confidently!
Me as a Teacher
I believe that students should learn through engaging, hands-on, communicative lessons. Research shows that experiential learning helps students retain knowledge for longer periods of time and express that knowledge more fluently. This helps them to move beyond their procedural understanding of the content to develop a conceptual understanding as well. I also firmly believe that in today’s society it is imperative that students develop a greater global awareness through their classroom instruction. By learning about other cultures, practices, and beliefs/values, students will be able to relate to diverse populations more appropriately.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are extremely communicative and conversationally focused, all the way from levels A1-C2. However, every crucial English language skill will be practiced, including:
🚨pronunciation
🚨listening
🚨speaking
🚨reading
🚨writing
My main objective is to help you reach a place where you are comfortably able to hear and comprehend the English language in addition to effectively communicating with the English language.
