Me as a Teacher
Why choose me as your English teacher?
- I am a TESL-certified teacher with years of teaching experience.
- My students like my lessons. Many have taken lessons for a year!
Why choose me as your interview coach?
- I interviewed, hired, and managed software developers for 10 years. I can help you present yourself well during screening interviews, technical interviews, and behavioral interviews.
My lessons & teaching style
Lessons are customized to the student. We review the concept or skill, then we practice.
I suggest that students get a copy of "English Grammar in Use with answers" by Murphy. When we need to discuss a grammar point, we can refer to the same page and quickly review the examples. Later, you can do the exercises and check your answers against the answers in the back of the book.

At the moment, I'm working on preparing myself for software engineering job interviews, so I need some practice in speaking. Chris is a great choice for me because of his familiarity with software engineering work duties. Usually, we have a great time discussing tough technical topics.
I highly recommend him to tech guys like me.
Также Крис помог мне подсветить проблемы с произношением некоторых звуков, типичных для русскоговорящих.

Chris is an excellent teacher with tons of experience. His method of training and clearing my pronunciation really worked!!! And his diverse pool of exercises is super impressive. I strongly feel that there is no such pronunciation problem that he cannot address. I call him a language therapist who helps improve communication skills and confidence. I highly recommend this teacher to those seeking to improve their pronunciation and communicate with confidence.
Крис отличный преподаватель для тех, кто хочет улучшить свое произношение и свободнее общаться на английском. Крис использует собственную авторскую методику, по которой вы легко можете отследить свой прогресс и увидеть, что ещё требует тренировки. Мне эти уроки очень помогли избавиться от нескольких супер проблемных звуков, но самое главное - у меня появилась уверенность, когда я говорю на английском.

Lessons with Chris every time is interesting. Usually, we tend to speak either on engineering topics (either common engineering topics for example architecture of new apple chipset M1, or more narrow discussion, for example, today we spoke about chaos monkey testing) or culture topics.
Chris is very flexible and can support any chosen topic and share his views. And what is important is he does it in a very polite and supportive form.
Дискуссии с Крисом всегда интересны. Обычно у нас получается либо разговор на какую-то инженерную тему (будь то общеинженерная тема, например, архитектура нового чипа M1 от apple, или более узконаправиленная, например, хаос манки тестирование) либо на тему культурных различий.
Крис достаточно гибок и может поддержать любую заданную вами тему и поделиться своим мнение. Но и что важно он всегда делает это политкоррекно и тактично.
