Over 8 Years of Experience Working on italki & 21 Years as an Actor Hello! I'm a native English teacher from London with over 8 years of experience teaching on italki. In 2022, I was ranked among the top 1% of English teachers on the platform. I have also worked professionally as an actor, so communication and language skills have always been central to my career. While I now focus mainly on teaching, some of my films are still available online and on streaming platforms. I enjoy helping students improve their English through engaging, enjoyable conversations. I'm friendly, positive, open-minded, and welcome students from all backgrounds. My aim is to create a relaxed atmosphere where you can build confidence while improving your vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and listening skills for everyday life, travel, or work. (For students under 10 years old, please message me before booking.) *Conversation Practice* Friendly discussions - a chosen topic or spontaneous conversation. Correcting mistakes & improving fluency & confidence. Can include reading practice. *Document Check* Help with emails, letters, CVs, personal statements, stories, & more. Join the lesson or send the document for review. I will do my best to review/improve the whole document in the booked time. Message me before to discuss the details. *Group Discussion* Practice with friends, colleagues, or classmates in a supportive environment while developing confidence & communication skills.

Chris is an amazing teacher with a really fun teaching style. We often talk a lot about cross-cultural topics, such as feudalism, views on marriage, Chinese zodiac and star signs, food differences between China and foreign countries, aesthetics, and standards for what makes an ideal man. Every 30-minute class just flies by so quickly.

I've been studying conversation with Chris for a year, and my confidence has improved so much. He is super patient, kind, and always brings positive vibes to the class. It feels like talking to a close friend, so I never feel stressed about making mistakes. He always teaches me practical vocabulary and fixes his grammar naturally. Every class is fun and engaging. Don't hesitate, just book a trial class with him!

Chris is a wonderful teacher! Very positive, friendly and professional at the same time! Though we had just a trial 30 minute lesson, I’ve learned some important things on pronunciation. And had fun 📕😁

Good conversation in general even though it was for 30 minutes but I had a great conversation answering a lot of interesting questions from Chris today! He asked questions about me, my country and its culture, my interests and my hobbies! It was nice because he was kind, respectful to me, attentive and cool! He gave me a feedback on my English at the end of the class and he told me a pronunciation thing to improve which is great! I hope to book a lesson with him again to have another good conversation! It was nice to meet him!
