About Me
italki teacher since Mar 6, 2017InterestsTechScienceGamingTravelHistory
Hi there, I’m Chad. I’m a native English speaker from the U.S., but I’ve actually been living here in Asia for the last 18 years. I’ve spent the better part of a decade as a language coach on italki, and in that time, I’ve taught almost 5,000 lessons.
Living abroad has given me a lot of perspective on how difficult it can be to move from "knowing" a language to actually feeling comfortable speaking it. Whether you are an intermediate student trying to reach that next level of fluency or a professional trying to navigate the nuances of Western culture, I’m here to help you get there in a way that feels natural and stress-free.Me as a Teacher
I believe the best learning happens when you actually enjoy the conversation. My style is relaxed and supportive. I’m the person you can make mistakes around without feeling judged.
Because I’ve lived abroad for nearly two decades, I understand the "bridge" between cultures. I know how to help you move from textbook English to the "real" English used in American homes and offices. I’m patient with beginners and children, but I have the experience to challenge advanced students who want to fine-tune their fluency. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are built around your life and your goals. We can keep it casual, or we can roll up our sleeves and get to work on specific skills:
Conversation: We talk about things that actually interest you: news, culture, or daily life, while I help you polish your grammar and pronunciation naturally.
Career & Interview Prep: If you’re in tech or business, we can practice mock interviews or "work talk" so you feel 100% ready for your next meeting or job application.
The "Natural" Ear: I’ll teach you the slang, idioms, and shortcuts that native speakers use so you can understand movies and casual jokes more easily.My teaching material

I can say that Chad is a patient and polite teacher. Every time he gives me enough time to express my opinion and then corrects me if it needs or just suggests new expressions/idioms. Really appreciate his approach.
