Hi, I’m Fred Kuhr 🏳️🌈 — a dual U.S./Canadian citizen (🇨🇦 🇺🇸) from New York City, now in Toronto. Alongside teaching English, I’m an award-winning actor and filmmaker, so I bring real-world pronunciation and communication skills to my lessons. I love movies, music, current events, and fitness—I’m a certified personal trainer with 15+ years in the industry. If you want to learn English with authentic cultural insights and a lively, motivating approach, I’m your guy!

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.

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

I'm thankful for this tremendous conversational English class with Fred! He listened to me patiently without judging and he gave me the chance to ask him any questions that I wanted to ask which is cool! He encouraged me to speak as much as possible in English and recieve answers on my questions! It was a great class in general! He said that I was the first student from the Far East of Russia and he was interested to visit Russia in the future! It was nice to meet him and I hope to see him again soon to practice more!
