About Me
italki teacher since Apr 30, 2020
InterestsTravelTechHistory
I come from the United States, living in a small mountain town for the last 4 years. I got interested in languages by my best friend, and we would always practice together. Eventually, that led me to international life where I wound up moving to Chile and began a career as an English teacher. I've been here ever since, and it's been great. I get to practice my Spanish and teach English, so my life always has to do with languages.
Me as a Teacher
I teach with the focus on the student understanding in depth and being able to use the language with their own understanding. This means no repeating and memorizing sentences, but learning to form them. We try and speak English from day one, and the student is encouraged to say everything they can in English.
My lessons & teaching style
I am all about application. I believe we learn when we come to the end of our understanding, because then we realize where the gaps are. That's why the students are constantly speaking and using the language, because that's how we remember.
PLEASE READ (IMPORTANT):
Free lesson cancellations are only allowed 3 times. After that, I require the student to pay. If you miss your class, you will still have to pay either way.

After trying multiple English tutors for my son, I can confidently say that Christopher is one of the best. He is a very friendly, professional, engaging, always prepared and above all my son enjoys his lessons. He helped my son with vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and I find the homework he gives a valuable instrument in improving my son’s English beyond the lessons. With over 30 lessons with Christopher, my son’s English has improved tremendously. My son will continue his lessons with Christopher and I definitely recommend him to students of all levels.

Glad to have you back again! After reviewing some vocabulary we studied in previous classes some months ago, I could see I still remember the use and meanings, so it is undoubtedly that his teaching method perfectly works 🙂
