I was born, raised and educated in the United States. I’ve been living in Vietnam since 2013. I currently live in Da Nang with my wife and two children. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. I have been teaching English since 2014 and I really enjoy my work. I like spending free time with my family, riding my bike, swimming in the sea, and playing games with my children. I enjoy writing and recording music in my home studio. I like to learn and be creative. I have a great sense of humor and love having fun. Let’s have some laughs together as you develop your English skills. I love the English language and am very passionate about teaching.

Challis is a truly excellent teacher. Above all, he is very cheerful and has a great sense of humor, which helps relieve stress and nervousness, so his lessons are really fun and effective. He is very inquisitive, listens carefully, and corrects mistakes discreetly, without interrupting or stressing you while you are speaking. He uses interactive tools, sharing his desktop, which allows for a precise understanding of every statement. He has a wealth of knowledge about the world and various topics, so he is able to converse on any subject. I've had many teachers, but Challis is the best!

I wanted to learn English because I won the Green Card Diversity Lottery and planned to move to the US to find a job. In my first lesson, I couldn't even say my name. I didn’t speak English at all. But recently, I successfully passed job interviews at a FAANG-level tech company in the US, and now I'm already packing my bags for New York! Challis helped me improve my grammar, vocabulary, speaking, and listening skills, and gave me a deeper understanding of American culture. His lessons were always fun and incredibly valuable. I also want to mention that YouTube videos and TV shows weren’t helpful for me at all. The only thing that really worked was conversational English lessons with Challis. I tried other teachers, but their lessons just weren’t as effective.

Challis老师的课非常有趣。我们谈论了camping和fishing。我学到了怎么用英语说打窝 (chum)。他还向我介绍了美式橄榄球的基本规则。非常感谢!

We’ve been learning English with Challis for nearly two years, and he is an excellent and professional teacher. Both my son Nolan and I take his lessons, and through this experience, we’ve improved our English, gained confidence, and developed a real interest in the language. Challis makes each lesson enjoyable and effective. They’re full of engaging conversations and activities that keep my son focused and motivated. He doesn’t feel like he’s studying—instead, he picks up the language through meaningful, hands-on experiences. Games are used in just the right amount. They make learning fun and help my son speak more fluently and respond more comfortably. These are well balanced with creative tasks like storytelling and speaking practice, which keep him engaged and growing. I really appreciate how Challis listens and gently corrects our mistakes. His warm, helpful feedback gives us confidence and often comes to mind even after the lesson.

很有帮助的一节课!Challis老师纠正了我的一些介词的用法,比如at on in以及这些介词和日期时间搭配时如何选择。另外他还帮我总结了上下车/船/飞机/巴士时怎么搭配介词。我学到了很多关于介词的细微差别。感谢!

Challis老师很有耐心,解释语法和纠正错误都非常用心,会很详细地帮我分析犯的错误和怎样避免。我们讨论了camping,scouts,短视频等话题,他帮我分析了this, that, these, those等词汇在表示时间上的差异。非常有帮助的一节课!
