My name is Gordon Craig. I am originally from the U.S. I now live in Japan. I am also a British Citizen and have lived in the U.K. and Spain. I am familiar with British and American English but, I also believe in Global English. My hobbies are watching rugby and American football, cycling, yoga, surfing, online gaming, movies, music, traveling, and learning. I like building things with my hands. I think kindness, persistence, and challenging ideas are some of the most important things to be in life. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right. I look forward to meeting you soon.

Yo como profesor
With over 20 years of experience learning and teaching languages, I've learned that goals and effective learning strategies are very important. Process improvement, feedback, coaching, and reflection are very important. Everyone is a little different. You have a lot of knowledge, skills, and abilities that need to be maximized while learning. Considering all of that, I know how important it is to use English to communicate in order to learn it.Mis clases y método de enseñanza

We went over my presentation slides together. As usual, Gordon was a tremendous help. His tutoring is very well organized and his advice is profound, reflecting his rich experience in teaching and presentations. What I especially appreciate about Gordon's teaching style is that he makes sure what kind of help I am looking for and what is my specific goal in every session. He then builds up a unique session to meet the student's need. Today, I listed several goals, including improving the overall flow and improving clarity. He gave me precise advice and feedback by referring to helpful materials offered by universities and blogs. These online sources he introduce to me are always very informative and help me learn outside the session. He also corrected my sentence structure and pronunciation as I requested. Thank you so much for the fun, helpful session. Cannot appreciate enough.
