My name is Fred Kuhr 🏳️🌈, and I'm a dual U.S./Canada citizen 🇨🇦🇺🇸originally from New York City 🌉, now living in Toronto, Canada. I'm a former high school English teacher as well as an award-winning actor and filmmaker. My interests include current events, pop culture, movies, music and physical fitness. In fact, I'm a certified personal trainer and have been working in the fitness industry for over 15 years.Me as a Teacher
As a former high school English teacher, I know that you have to meet students where they are and use materials that interest them in order to reach them. I also know that different students learn differently; that is, some respond better to listening while others are better with seeing information. So I like to tailor lessons to individual students depending on what methods will work best and keep students motivated.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is upbeat and energetic, injected with humor. I know that if I'm bored, the student will be too. So I can't be boring. Language learning should be fun anyway, since learning a language also unlocks a new culture. I like to use materials that are already out there in the culture - whether that's children's books, magazines, newspapers, movies or music - to showcase culture along with language. And as a dual U.S./Canadian citizen, I understand the cultures of both countries.My teaching material

Great talk with Fred!
I was speaking most of the lesson.
He can perfectly support and lead a conversation.

The teacher didn’t just talk a lot but asked me questions, so I felt like I was the one holding the ball in the conversation. Because the teacher listened patiently without rushing me, I could speak calmly without feeling pressured. The lesson was fun, the teacher was kind and friendly, and I learned natural English expressions through casual conversation. I’d love to take another lesson again.

Fred’s classes have all been fantastic. He’s a motivating teacher, a great conversationalist, patient, and makes you feel very comfortable in his classes. If I take classes again, I’ll definitely take them with him. Thanks for all Fred!! 😊
