Informazioni su di me
Insegnante di italki dal 20 Sep 2021
Argomento di interesseStoriaViaggiArte
I currently live in southern China. I have been fortunate enough to live in many fascinating places, from Antigua, Guatemala to greater Tokyo, Japan. I love to explore many places and am especially fond of anything in the outdoors. When I’m not in class you’ll often hear a splash! That’s right, I seek out lakes and rivers and love to paddleboard, swim or snorkel. I also love to hike as well. However, it is my goal in class to hear about your experiences and I love many things and am interested in a wide variety of topics, from technology and marketing to local cuisine and decor!
(Teaching note: I'm only teaching young adult to adult learners at this time. 温馨提示:我现在不教孩子)

Che tipo di insegnante sono
I have lived abroad for most of the last ten years, spending a great deal of time in China, Korea, Japan and Guatemala. I have taught in almost all of these places with a wide range of students, both in ages and English level. This has included primary school students, middle schoolers, college undergraduates and adults engaged in business and science. I have taught large classes of students in writing, speaking, grammar and interviewing skills. I have also conducted many conversant classes, one on one, focusing on a student's particular interest and focus. As I have studied foreign languages myself, I have a strong understanding of the challenges and joys of second language learning.
Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
My goal as a teacher is for you to have a comfortable, constructive environment to learn in and practice your skillset. I am a communicative teacher which means my intention is for you to use English. Without the ability to practice there will never be a chance to grow with your language. I have a wide variety of interests and always engage students in their own unique life experiences and hobbies. This is your chance for a fun and rewarding time.

During the lesson we touched the topic of mission among others. And concluded the best mission is what you don't tell a lot about. Really, when you want to eat you don't analyze missions of supermarkets to buy some food. As well you don't need to know much what teachers tell why they teach English. Just try talking to them and it will be clear whether it's your person to practice English or not. Definitely Craig is my choice as he does his job perfectly even I do not know his mission :)

Taking classes with Craig has completely changed how I see learning English. He’s an amazing teacher - not only because he’s American and knows the language perfectly, but because he knows how to make every lesson truly engaging. Our conversations are always interesting and meaningful cause he asks brilliant questions that help me open up about my interests, values and dreams. Every session feels like an enjoyable chillout rather than a boring school lesson. Booking his classes makes me fall in love with English more and more.

I’m 90% sure Craig has secret powers. Like, how else do you explain the fact that I join the class sleepy and shy, and 5 mins later I’m talking like I'm hosting a podcast?? He drops one question, and boom - I’m in full storytelling mode. Honestly, I don’t even know how he does it. It's like English just happens around him. Respect and full recommendation!

As I said before Craig consciously leads the conversation with questions built up on your interests that he carefully observes while listening to you. And another pros is he provides with advanced level words and phrases during real speaking. Doing that at ease and naturally. It feels new words are aligned with the context. As to me this approach is better than elucidating every word like boring theory. So another brilliant skill of a pure practitioner. Everything's at ease with him

Craig's lesson was as good as always. I had a few months break in booking lessons here and thought it would be hard to resume practice. However it may be true with anyone but not with Craig. He made me feel vibrant along the class asking his brilliant questions. So I was doing well due to his work. He's the best yet.

Craig’s lessons? Straight up an English-speaking party. No judgment, no boring grammar lectures, just real convos that somehow teach you without you realizing it. You just talk, laugh, and learn — all at once. Honestly, it’s lowkey therapy. I leave every class like: Yo, I can actually speak English??! Top-tier, no question.
