About Me
italki teacher since Oct 5, 2016Interest topicMedical & HealthcareTechReading
I was born and raised in the USA, in Wisconsin, so my accent is considered a standard American accent and easy to understand.
I like warm and sunny climates, and so I am currently living in Mexico and learning some Spanish. I walk a lot, try to eat well, like finding ways to solve everyday problems, play chess and do jig-saw puzzles, write about observations, and enjoy learning how other people live.
I have taught in Asia and the Middle East for many years.Me as a Teacher
I am a professional English teacher. I have a Masters in Education (specialization is Secondary Education) along with a CELTA (Certification of English Language Teaching to Adults). I have taught in universities in South Korea and Saudi Arabia for 15 years.
Currently, I am focused on online teaching and discovering new ways to make English language learning relevant and effective for students.My lessons & teaching style
For General English lessons, I will give you a brief level test. My lessons focus on correcting your pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. My lessons involve formal practice with vocabulary and grammar and also free activities using them. Some students enjoy homework which can be to watch a short video and write some sentences about it. Lessons can be adapted to your specific needs.
I also like to edit writing. So, if you have any writing, for example an application to a job or school, or other piece of writing you want me to correct and improve, this makes a good lesson.My teaching material

I really appreciated the session; Christopher is very patient and professional. It’s also easy for him to adapt the lesson to various topics (according to my interests) which is perfect!

He helped me write my letter of intent for grad school. He was extremely thoughtful and prepared, he followed my logic and speed, made pertinent and punctual corrections, and still helped me in the general organization of the letter. Using Google Docs and Skype with him I had one incredible productive hour in writing, I was already three days working alone and failing to organize ideas. He solved my problems in minutes. If you need a teacher, choose him.

I've taken two online editing lessons with Christopher, which turned out to be very satisfactory! He's covered grammar/punctuation, word choice, and style. I'm so glad that I was able to get reliable advice on my summary writing.
