About Me
italki teacher since Jan 29, 2021InterestsBusiness & FinanceTravelHistoryReadingArt
Oxford-trained linguist specializing in accent refinement and bilingual (U.S./U.K.) English fluency. I help professionals master nuanced communication—from polished interviews to diplomatic discussions—using my background in theology and applied linguistics. Let’s bridge cultures through precise, confident English.Me as a Teacher
I use the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach where the learner acquires English proficiency by actually using the language in authentic learner-centered conversations tailored to the learner's interest areas. My lessons & teaching style
I offer professional English coaching for adults who need English for real-world use, not textbook exercises.
Students work with me on:
• Interview preparation (UK, US, international)
• Admissions and academic writing
• Analytical and professional writing
• Business communication
• Politics and international affairs
• Daily communication and social fluency
Approach: Communicative, ACTFL-aligned teaching. Grammar is learned through real conversation and practical tasks.
I hold graduate degrees from Oxford and St Andrews and work especially well with advanced learners and professionals who want clarity, confidence, and precision in high-stakes situations.My teaching material

I needed a teacher to prepare for the ACTFL OPI test, he had enough knowledge about this test and helped me very well. Thanks to Christopher, I think I've developed confidence in this test.
